The radius of the latitude circle at 30 deg is 5523.5 km. Do two consecutive swaths of MODIS over...
10-17. Approximate Lake Superior by a circle of radius 162 km at a latitude of 47°. Assume the water is at rest with respect to Earth and find the depth that the center is depressed with respect to the shore due to the centrifugal force. 10-18. A British warship fires a proiectile due south near the Falkland Islands duurin
• Radius of the Earth: R⊕ = 6378.137 km (Vallado, 2001) • Latitude and longitude of Miami: (25.762◦ N, 80.192◦ W) • Latitude and longitude of Seattle: (47.608◦ N, 122.335◦ W) Find the latitiude and longitude of the point northeast of Seattle and Miami that forms an equilateral triangle with those two points. Express the coordinate values in degrees, and round to three decimal places.
suppose a planet has a radius of 5,000 km. starting at the point on its surface at 0 degrees longitude and 0 degrees latitude, find the distance to the point on its surface at 30 degrees longitude and 60 degrees latitude
In a circle with a 116 km radius, how long is an arc associated with an angle of 3.7 radians? How long is an arc associated with an angle of 3.7 radians? s= km (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)
assuming the moon to revolve round the earth in a circle of radius 384000 km, taking 27.3 days to complete one revolution, find the centripetal acceleration of the moon. by comparing this with the acceleration of a body due to gravity at the surface of the earth. taking the earth radius to be 6400 km, show that the acceleration of the moon is due to gravity, by using Newton's law of universal gravitation
An airplane flying parallel to the ground undergoes two consecutive displacements. The first is 79 km at 22.1 west of north, and the second is 108 km at 60.4 east of north. At what angle east of north is the plane’s total displacement? Answer in units of degrees.
Using your result in problem (30), and the fact that the radius of the Earth is about 6400 km, and that the latitude of WCU (Cullowhee) Is about 35 degree North, you find the linear speed of WCU as a result of the Earth's rotation about its axis to be 0.38 km/1.52 km/s 2.57 km/s 5.53 km/s A CD uniformly accelerates from rest to its operational speed of 500 rpm in 3.5 s. How many rotations did It make during...
In C programming, code the following function: Write the function Location() that takes in two pairs of DEGREE (latitude, longitude) coordinates and returns the great-circle-distance between the points on the surface of the Earth, which is calculated using the formula: d = R acos[ cos(latA)cos(latB)cos(lonB-lonA) + sin(latA)sin(latB) ] where (latA,lonA) and (latB,lonB) are the RADIAN coordinates for the two points, R = 6368 km is the radius of the Earth (provided in the template as a global variable), d is...
30% dl B. An object, moving along the circumference of a circle with radius R, is acted upon by a force of constant magnitude F. The force is directed at all times at a 30 angle with respect to the tangent to the circle as shown in the figure Determine the work done by this force when the object moves along the half circle from A to B. Express your answer in terms of the variables , and a F...
You are at a circular lake with radius 30 km, centered at the point (0,0). You want to travel from (30, 0) to (-30,0). You will row from (30, 0) in a straight line to a point on the shore that is angle 0 radians around the lake from where you started, and then you will walk the rest of the way along the circular shore to (-30,0). Your rowing speed through the lake is 6 km/h, and your walking...
