Only between 23.5 degrees on each side of the equator. The earth is tilted at 23.5 degrees, so the sun's vertical rays will only oscillate between those latitudes throughout the year. They are at those extremes during the solstices.

Can you bend your knees in a vertical jump test?

yes, the only difference between a normal jump and a vertical jump is that your only allowed to take one step back and have one stay stationary.


Is any horizontal line perpendicular to any vertical line?

Yes, but only if they are exactly vertical and exactly horizontal (90 degrees angular difference). For real-world examples, many vertical lines can be perpendicular to a single "horizontal" curved line at the points of intersection.


What is the difference in between levelling machine and theodolite?

Dumpty level can be used only for vertical measurements while a theodolite functions in both horizontal and vertical measurements.


How can you construct 135 degree angle only with a scale and compasses?

Construct a perpendicular line that intersects a horizontal line at 90 degrees and then bisect the vertical line with the horizontal line will give an obtuse angle of 135 degrees because 90 degrees+45 degrees = 135 degrees


Which term best describes a pair of vertical angles that are also supplementary?

The term that best describes a pair of vertical angles that are also supplementary is "linear pair." Vertical angles are formed by the intersection of two lines and are equal in measure, while supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees. However, vertical angles alone are not necessarily supplementary; they only form a linear pair when they are adjacent and their measures sum to 180 degrees.


What is the difference between a truss and a beam?

Truss can carry only vertical loads or axial loads. It depends upon structure. But Beams can carry vertical loads and moments


What is the difference between a pressure vessel and a column?

Columns should be installed in vertical direction only on the other hand pressure vessels can be installed in both vertical and horizontal direction and having certain height limitations for vertical installation.


What is the difference between horizontal curve and vertical curve vertical curve?

Horizontal curve is a curve viewed in the x and y plane, while a vertical curve is viewed in the y plane only, or viewed from the side. Think of it like a cake. the top is the horizontal and the front is the vertical


Can melting and freezing occur at the same temperature in water?

Yes, melting and freezing occur at the same temperature in water, which is 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). At this temperature, water transitions between its solid (ice) and liquid forms without changing its temperature.


What is the Vertical component of an escalator at 45 degrees with a velocity of 3ms?

The vertical component of the escalator's velocity at 45 degrees can be found by multiplying the given velocity (3 m/s) by the sine of the angle (sin 45° ≈ 0.7071). So the vertical component would be 3 m/s * 0.7071 ≈ 2.12 m/s.


Is it possible for a city to be located 115 degrees south and 25 degrees west?

Latitude only goes between 90 degrees south and 90 degrees north, so no.
