Ever hear of the term horizon. A long line going across like the horizon.----- so a horizontal angle would be like that.

What is the Angle of repose of gypsum?

1) angle of rest: 2) The angle between the horizontal and the plane of contact between two bodies when the upper body is just about to slide over the lower. Also known as angle of friction.


Dan applies a force of 92 N on a heavy box by using a rope held at an angle of 45 degrees with the horizontal. What are the vertical and horizontal components of the 92-N force?

The vertical component of the force is Fsin45 = 92 x 1/(2^1/2) = 65.2 The horizontal component of the force is FCos45 = 92 x 1/(2^1/2) = 65.2


What way does a sundials fin have to go?

The "fin"is actually called the Gnomon. Its alignment in azimuth on a horizontal dial is N-S, or vertical on a wall-mounted dial, andit tapers into the dial Northwards or upwards respectively;but its angle is calculated from the angle of latitude in which the instrument is to be placed.


How do you determine the height of an object using sunlight and shadows?

Imagine the upright object with the sun at an angle casting a shadow onto the horizontal ground, you have a right angled triangle. You need to be able to measure the angle (A) of the sun to the horizon or horizontal (don't look at the sun without suitable dark glasses-not just ordinary sunglasses). Measure the length of the shadow(L). Then the height of the object is equal to L x tanA


The dip of a unit represents what?

The dip of a unit represents the angle at which the bed inclines from the horizontal. In dip-slip faults, the fault blocks move up and down, parallel to the dip of the fault plane.

What angle does his velocity make with the horizontal.?

The angle that the velocity makes with the horizontal is called the launch angle. It can be calculated using trigonometry by finding the arctangent of the vertical component of the velocity divided by the horizontal component.

Angle of depression is the angle between a horizontal line and the line joining the observer's eye to some object beneath the horizontal line. ^_^


Is the angle between a horizontal line and a vertical line a right angle?

Yes, the angle between a horizontal line and a vertical line is a right angle. This is because a right angle measures 90 degrees, which is the angle formed when two lines are perpendicular to each other. Since horizontal and vertical lines are defined to be perpendicular, the angle between them is indeed a right angle.

How can I determine the launch angle of a projectile?

To determine the launch angle of a projectile, you can use the equation: launch angle arctan(vertical velocity / horizontal velocity). This formula calculates the angle at which the projectile is launched relative to the horizontal plane.
