A road climbs 30 feet as you travel a horizontal distance of 500 feet. What is the best estimate of how much longer the road distance is than the horizontal distance?

What does slope have to do with distance?
The slope distance, like walking up a hill, is always longer than the horizontal distance. A map shows horizontal (flat) distance and does not take onto account the extra distance to go up and down from one point to another.
Will a ball thrown almost horizontally go the furthest?
No, this is an example of projectile motion. You should throw it at 45 degrees from the horizontal ground for it to have the maximum horizontal distance. This is because a sufficient height must be achieved, so that the ball can stay in the air longer and thus travel a longer distance while in flight.
How does the angle of release affect the motion of a projectile both vertical and horizontal?
Smaller angles will result in a larger horizontal velocity and smaller vertical velocity. The times of flight will also be shorter since it's closer to the ground. Larger angles have a larger vertical velocity and smaller horizontal velocity. Time of flight will be much longer since it is higher above the ground. As for distance, 45 degrees will result in the greatest distance and for every distance before the furthest one there is an angle above 45 degrees and an angle below 45 degrees that will result in that distance.
What is a horizontal photography?
Horizontal photography is creating images that are longer in length rather than in height. EX: http://digital-photography-school.com/wp-content/horizontal-1.jpg http://digital-photography-school.com/using-horizontal-lines-in-photography
Which way is length?
Length is the horizontal measurement and the vertical one is height. If there are 2 horizontal ones then length is the longer one, and the other one is breadth, or width.
Do heavier vehicles require a longer or shorter stopping distance?
longer
What is longer 1yard and 2feet or 6feet?
6 feet is a longer distance.

What can you do to an inclined plane to increase its mechanical advantage?
Decrease the angle to the horizontal. This is done by making it longer.
What is a little longer than a yardstick and is used to measure distance?
A yardstick is just a little longer than a meterstick. Generally used to measure distance.
What is the difference between a horizontal and vertical oil tank?
one is taller then it is long and the other is longer then it is tall.
Which vehicle requires a longer stopping distance?
Trains require a long stopping distance.
