How does a gasto speed camera work?
A speed camera work when a driver is on high speed then the speed camera will take a shot of the car witch will have the number plate then they will be able to find all the information on the driver…
How do you make a floor plate for a vr 5 speed manual commodore What size should the plate be and how big should the hole be etc?
Make one out of cardboard first. When you have the cardboard one made and you're happy with it, use it for a template to make the real deal out of steel. It's called fabrication.
Why do motorcycles not get caught with speed cameras?
Motorbikes have no front number plate thus cannot be caught from front facing cameras. However they can be caught by rear facing cameras just the same as any car
Why is controlling shutter speed and focal length important when capturing a digital image?
To get the exposure level on the sensor correct - it's important in photography on film also. Many cameras attempt to do it automatically.
Study of tides?
Oceanographers are scientists who study the tides. They record details such as the measurement of the heights, times and the extent of the rising and falling of tidal waters. This information is vital for the navigation of ships that rely on accurate data about the speed and direction of tidal currents.
By Knowing the average speed of a plate what can scientists estimate about Earth's continents?
Knowledge of Earth's plate tectonics allows seismologists, geologists, and various other scientists to predict what the face of the planet will look like in future, and what it has looked like in the past.
How fast rock breaks down is affected by?
The speed is affected by the climate and the composition of the rock, and to some degree, plate tectonics.
How can you prove that the earth is subject to plate movement?
Earthquakes, mineral deposits, plate subduction areas/volcanoes, mountains... most anything you can think of is proof really. The above are evidences of plate tectonics. In addition, precise measurements of plate movements have been recorded with scientific instruments that track their speed and direction.
What formula do scientists use to predict how far a plate will move in a certain amount of time?
Distance = Speed x TimeFor example, let's say a plate moves a distance of 5 centimeters in one year. So, the speed of the plate is 5cm/yr. You can use this speed to predict how far the plate will move in 1000 years.Distance= (5cm/1yr) x (1000yr)=5000cm
What is the typical speed of moving plate?
The typical speed of a moving plate is about 21mm a year.
Why do scientists want to measure wind speed?
Scientists want to measure EVERYTHING...
The rate of speed in which the Pacific and Philippine plate are moving?
The Pacific plate is moving at a rate of speed of 8.10 cm per year. The Philippine plate is moving at a rate of speed of 6.35 cm per year.
What gauge do scientists use to estimate the wind speed of a tornado?
Scientists usually use the severity of the damage a tornado causes to estimate its wind speed.
Question about linear speed and angular speed?
what is the relation angular speed and angular speed with clutch disc plate
Is the speed of a pitch on the radar an average speed or the speed as the ball crosses the plate?
most radar guns record the speed of the ball as it leaves the pitcher's hand. However, on some guns, you can program it to record the speed as it crossed the plate as well.
Who are the scientists who calculated the speed of light?
Ole Romer
Knowing the average speed of earths plates helps scientists?
it helps the scientists to predict future changes.
