The method is quite complicated ... not difficult, but involving many steps.

You'll find it spelled out if you search on-line for "inverse position calculation".

What are curvillinear coordinates?

Curvilinear coordinate systems are a means of describing an object/point's position based on angle and distance from the origin. For example, polar coordinates are Curvilinear coordinates for R2 (2D space). Spherical coordinates are Curvilinear coordinates for R3 (3D space) If you need to know more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curvilinear_coordinates


The endpoints of a diameter are given Identify an equation of the circle?

1. Find the coordinates of the center of the circle. Call it point (a, b). To find this point, calculate the average of the x-coordinates of the endpoints, and also the average of the y-coordinates. 2. Find the radius of the circle. Use the formula for distance (which is based on Pythagoras' Theorem). Call the length of the radius "r". 3. The formula for the circle is (x - a)2 + (y - b)2 = r2. Replace the values you found earlier.


How do you find for distance when the time is not given?

You can measure distance with a measuring stick or tape. Otherwise, if you want to calculate it based on some other data, please clarify WHAT is given.


How do you find distance in geometry?

It depends. For simple shapes there may be formulae which link the lengths of sides, measures of angles and other properties of the shape that enable you to calculate the distance. In 3-dimensional Euclidean space, if the point A has coordinates (u,v,w) and B has coordinates(x,y,z), then the distance AB is sqrt[(x - u)2 + (y - v)2 + (z - w)2] The formula has a similar form in 2 dimension. But distance need not be defined in this fashion - there are other valid metrics. One of them is the Taxicab geometry developed by Minkowski and based on a rectangular grid of roads as in Manhattan. For more on Taxicab geometry, follow the link.


What do graph you get if you make both the angle and the distance parameters in an equation?

You get a graph based on polar coordinates rather than Cartesian coordinates. Some shapes have simpler equations in polar coordinates: for example, a circle with centre at the origin and radius r, is simple R = r. A straight line through the origin and gradient (slope) m is tan(q) = m.

What is the distance of a starting point?

The distance of a starting point is the measurement of how far away it is from a reference point or another location. It can be calculated using a variety of methods, such as using GPS coordinates, traditional surveying techniques, or estimation based on landmarks.


Hown ca we calculate Age of a star if its distance from earth is given?

Not enough information. You can't calculate the age, based only on the distance.

What are the coordinates of earth in spore?

Angle: 225.06 degrees, Distance: 7,295.43(pc) is what I found, but I don't know if that is based on where your homeplanet is located or what.


What is the kinematics distance formula used to calculate in physics?

The kinematics distance formula in physics is used to calculate the distance an object travels based on its initial velocity, acceleration, and time elapsed. It is represented as: distance initial velocity time 0.5 acceleration time2.

Are directions on Earth based from the North and South Pole?

In order to find a precise location on Earth, one needs to know where -- in which hemisphere, the location can be found. The north and south coordinates -- separated by the Equator -- tell the distance north or south, and the east and west coordinates are also required. The east and west coordinates -- separated by Prime Meridian and the International Date Line -- tell the distance east or west.


How do you calculate height based on velocity and time?

I assume you refer to the formula distance = velocity x time. If an object moves upward, the distance would become the height.

What is the noise level distance formula used to calculate the distance between two points based on their respective noise levels?

The noise level distance formula calculates the distance between two points based on their noise levels. It is typically represented as: Distance ((Noise level 1 - Noise level 2)2).
