The force which is responsible to make a drag through a distance of 250 m is the horizontal component of the force 60 N ie 60 cos 40 = 45.96 N

Hence the work done = F s = 45.96 x 250 = 11490 joule.

The usual formula for work done W = F s cos@ where @ is the angle between the force vector and the displacement vector.

Here the weight of the suitcase is perpendicular to the displacement and so the value of cos 90 is zero and hence no work is done due to the weight of the suitcase.

Is longitude horizontal?

Lines of longitude are vertical but they measure horizontal distance(In degrees,not kilometers or miles)between Greenwich Mean Time(GMT) and you so the lines are vertical,not horizontal. However,longitude measures horizontal distance,not vertical distance.


If you keep th velocity of projection and change the angle of projection from 75 degrees to 45 degrees what will happen to the horizontal distance the projectile travels?

If you keep th velocity of projection and change the angle of projection from 75 degrees to 45 degrees what will happen to the horizontal distance the projectile travels? if you finish the nova net lesson you might learn the answer! It will travel a greater distance!


What is the distance between 41 degrees N and 40 degrees N?

The shortest possible distance is along a meridian of constant longitude (a due north-south line).That distance is 69.1 miles (111.22 km).


In projectile motion What Angle would horizontal and vertical distance be equal?

Can't say. It depends on the release velocity (muzzle velocity).The maximum horizontal distance always results from an angle of 45 degrees, regardless of the release velocity.


Is latitude the vertical line or horizontal?

Lines of latitude run east-west as circles parallel (or horizontal lines) to the equator. Latitude measures the angle in degrees north or south from the equator where the equator is located at 0 degrees.


How does the angle of release affect the motion of a projectile both vertical and horizontal?

Smaller angles will result in a larger horizontal velocity and smaller vertical velocity. The times of flight will also be shorter since it's closer to the ground. Larger angles have a larger vertical velocity and smaller horizontal velocity. Time of flight will be much longer since it is higher above the ground. As for distance, 45 degrees will result in the greatest distance and for every distance before the furthest one there is an angle above 45 degrees and an angle below 45 degrees that will result in that distance.


What is Trajectory?

A trajectory is the angle made with the horizontal when a projectile is fired. Suppose the projectile is a cannon ball. Assuming air is frictionless, that cannon ball will travel the greatest distance if the trajectory is 45 degrees from horizontal.


What is the length of highway 8 degrees grade 5280ft of horizontal distance?

Length of highway = 5280 ÷ cos 8 = 5331.89 feet (2dp)


What happen to horizontal distance and flying time when you increase the launching angle at 30 degree?

It will increase until you hit 45 degrees and the it will begin to drop.


What angle a projectile thrown to achieve maximum horizontal distance traveled?

A trajectory of 45 degrees elevation gives the longest horizontal travel- (not taking air drag into consideration nor any aerodynamic properties of a projectile.


What facts are needed to indicate the average slope between two points on a topographic map?

Slope is determined by rise and run. Or the distance between two points, the distance in height (vertical distance) and the lateral distance apart (level distance). If a step has a riser of 6" and a tread of 12", the rise (6") over the run (12") would then become 6/12 or a slope of 45 degrees. 12/12 would be vertical and 0/12 would be horizontal. From horizontal to vertical is 90 degrees. So 6/12 is one half, of 90degrees which is 45 degrees.


What are all circles?

All circles are plane curves drawn by a point that rotates 360 degrees at a constant distance from a fixed point.
