Why there are two possible angles of projection for same range with same velocity of projection?
At a certain angle - 45 degrees if the starting point and end point are at the same level, and air resistance can be ignored - and at a certain speed, the range is maximum. Both for lower and for higher angles, you get a lower range.
Are parallels lines angles?
No. To be an angle, the ends of each ray must have the same endpoint, therefore, the lines must intersect. Parallel lines have the same slope, so cannot ever intersect.
What are facts about octogons?
1. it has eight angles2. it has eight sides3. it has obtuse angles for equivalent sides4. it reminds you of octopus5. it has a prefix6. it is a shape7. a stop sign is an octogon8. it has 4 sets of parallels for equivalent sides9. it has 8 letters10. it has 3 syllables
What is the importance of angles to shapes and or angles?
Some shapes have angles and so they are important in defining the shapes. And angles are absolutely critical for angles. They are the very essence of their existence: if it were not for angles then there would be no angles.
Are congruent angles angles that have measure?
Yes, congruent angles are angles that have the same measure.
What is the type of cylindrical map projection that is commonly used and shows straight meridians and parallels that intersect at right angles?
It is the Mercator.
What type of projection is a mercator world map and what sets it apart from other projections?
The Mercator projection has straight meridians and parallels that intersect at right angles. Scale is true at the equator or at two standard parallels equidistant from the equator. The projection is often used for marine navigation because all straight lines on the map are lines of constant azimuth.
On what map projection do both meridians and parallels appear as straight lines intersecting each other at right angles?
Cylindrical
What is a mercator projecter?
A cylindrical map projection in which the meridians and parallels of latitude appear as lines crossing at right angles and in which areas appear greater farther from the equator.conic
Do all of the parallels and meridians cross each other at right angles on both the globe and the Mercator?
Yes, All line of latitude are parallel to the equator, but are not spaced equally. A mercator projection is based on a cylinder projection that is laid on the equator.
What type of map projection is shown on the Google earth opening page?
Google Earth uses a Simple Cylindrical (Plate Carree) Projection with a WGS84 datum for its imagery base. Altitude is measured from the vertical datum (WGS84 EGM96 Geoid).This is a simple map projection where the meridians and parallels are equidistant, straight lines, with the two sets crossing at right angles. This projection is also known as Lat/Lon WGS84.
Do parallels and meridians intersect at right angles?
Yes. They intersect at 90 degree angles.
What is the difference between map and map projection?
a map projection is a map that has lots of different angles.
What the difference between a map and a map projection?
a map projection is a map that has lots of different angles.
What is the difference between a map and a projection?
a map projection is a map that has lots of different angles.
Which projection has the patient positioned at the right angles of the film?
Lateral
Are parallels numbered 0 to 90 east and west?
No. Parallels of latitude mark angles north and south of the equator.\ if this is a true and false then false
