How long is the shadow for the 74ft pole?
It depends on the angle of the sun. If the sun is at 90 degrees, immediately overhead, then the length of the shadow is 0. What is the angle of the sun?
What would the length of shadow cast by a pole be if the incident rays of the sun were direct?
I am not sure what you mean by "direct" - light tends to travel in a straight line. The length of the shadow depends on the length of the pole, and of the height of the Sun.
When would your shadow be the longest near the north pole and why?
it would be long cause the Sun is getting lower and would heat your feet and feet is the beginning of your body and would make a long shadow. sometimes longer than you!
When would your shadow be the shortest near the north pole and why?
Your shadow would be the shortest near the north pole during the summer solstice, around June 21st. This is because the sun is directly overhead, casting shadows that appear very short. At the north pole during this time, the sun never sets, leading to continuous daylight and minimal shadow length.
If you standing at the South Pole will your shadow be longer or shorter?
If you are standing at the South Pole, your shadow will be non-existent during the summer solstice when the sun is directly overhead. During other times of the year, your shadow will be longer compared to standing at other latitudes due to the angle of the sun in relation to the Earth's surface. The length of your shadow will vary depending on the time of day and the season.
What cause the shadow of an object to be dark?
because no light or sun gets behind it
How does a flag poles shadow change over a year?
The shadow of a flag pole changes over a year due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. In the summer, the shadow is shorter at noon as the sun is higher in the sky. In the winter, the shadow is longer at noon as the sun is lower in the sky. Additionally, the length of the shadow will also vary depending on the latitude of the location.
If the sun is hitting a pole at 30 degrees altitude and the pole is 3' tall how long is the shadow?
If the pole is on level ground then you have the outline of a right angled triangle with an opposite side of 3 feet and an adjacent angle of 30 degrees. To find the length of the adjacent side (which in effect is the shadow of the pole) use the tangent ratio: tangent = opposite/adjacent which can be rearranged to: adjacent = opposite/tangent adjacent = 3/tangent 30o = 5.196152423 feet Therefore the shadow cast by the pole is 5.2 feet corrected to one decimal place.
What time would a shadow be at its longest?
That depends where you are on the planet. Your shadow would be longest if you were standing on a rotational pole at the time of equinox. At this point your shadow would be infinity long as it would be "projected" into space. However as a rule of thumb one's shadow is longest when the sun is rising or setting but high enough to cast your shadow.
What is the purpose of a sundial and how does it work?
A sundial is used to tell time by using the position of the sun in the sky. It works by casting a shadow onto markings that indicate the time based on the position of the shadow relative to those markings. The gnomon (the part that casts the shadow) is oriented towards the North Pole to properly align with the sun's position.
When the angle of elevation to the sun is 26 degrees a flagpole casts a shadow that is 82 feet long. How tall is the flag pole?
It is nearly 40 feet
When was In the Shadow of the Sun created?
In the Shadow of the Sun was created in 1974.
