Shape of earth is?
An oblate spheroid.
What is the exact shape of earth?
The exact shape of earth is "Oblate spheroid".
Why is the earth an oblate spheroid?
It's an oblate spheroid because of inertial forces. The planet spins on it's axis. This motion causes the regions closer to the equator to bulge outwards resulting in the current shape of the Earth (and many other planets).
What are the different theories regarding the shape of the earth?
The earth is an oblate spheroid. There are no different theories regarding this. There are some misguided or ignorant people that do not believe this.
Why do people think the earth is square?
Because we did not know earth was an oblate spheroid. Ignorance: same reason some people think an invisible superhero created it.
3D egg shape is called?
Ellipsoid, Ovoid, Prolate Spheroid, Spheroid
What is the shape of a football called?
a prolate spheroid.
4 What shape is a rugby ball?
Its a prolate spheroid
How many different directions can a prolate spheroid bounce?
One.
Is a football an oblate spheroid?
No, but it is a prolate spheroid. Alternative answer: An American football is not well described by a prolate spheroid, though that shape can describe a rugby ball. An American football is more accurately described as a vesica piscis that has been rotated about it's long axis.
Where might you find a prolate spheroid?
Might be a Rugby ball, American Football
If a 3D circle is called a Sphere what is a 3D oval called?
A three dimensional oval is simply called an egg, or more mathematically, an ovoid. A three dimensional ellipse (a more symmetric oval) is called a prolate spheroid, or oblate spheroid, depending on how the ellipse is rotated.
Why is a football round?
To allow it to roll and facilitate kicking A U. S. football is called a prolate spheroid.
What has the author Hans-Peter Kreplin written?
Hans-Peter Kreplin has written: 'Wall shear stress measurements on a prolate spheroid at zero incidence in the DNW wind tunnel' -- subject(s): Prolate spheroids, Boundary layer transition
What is the mathematical term for the shape of a football?
Rugby/American Football - Prolate Spheroid Association Football - Sphere Old style World Cup ball - Truncated Icosahedron
Can you give me an example of source code using gotoxy and Microsoft visual basic c plus plus 2006?
can you help me create a program that will have the following output: [1] Volume of Ellipsoid [2] Volume of Prolate Spheroid [3] Surface Area of Prolate Spheroid [4] Volume of Oblate Spheroid [5] Surface Area of Oblate Spheroid [6] Surface Area of Spherical Triangle Enter Your Choice: You have chosen: Enter Side a: Enter Side b: Enter Side c: Volume = Do you want to try again? [Y/N] ... it must use gotoxy and clear screen after choosing Y or N ( in do you want to try again) it must be used in Microsoft visual basic c++ 2006,, here are the following formulas;; Volume of Ellipsoid = (4/3)*3.14*a*b*c ( input a,b,c) Volume of Prolate Spheroid = (4/3)*3.14*a*(pow(b,2)) (input a,b) Surface Area of Prolate Spheroid = 2*3.14*b*L (input b,L) Volume of Oblate Spheroid = (4/3)*3.14*(pow(a,2))*b Surface Area of Oblate Spheroid = 2*3.14*a*y where: y = a+(number/denom) number = pow(b,2) denom = 2(sqrt(pow(a,2)-pow(b,2)) (input a,b) Surface of Spherical Triangle = ( A+B+C-3.14)*pow(r,2) (input A,B,C,r)
What is a round figure that is wider in on direction?
If you mean a solid figure, something like a football, that's a prolate spheroid. If you're talking about a two-dimensional figure, the word is probably ellipse.
