How many footsteps are in 5 miles?
The word mile comes from the Latin "mille passus" (a thousand paces) A pace is he distance between the placement of ones left or right foot and the next time it strikes the ground. The Roman mile was about 1,620 yards compared the modern mile's 1,760 yards.However given the variability of strides and leg lengths 1000 paces per mile is a good value. There are therefore 5,000 paces in 5 miles or 10,000 individual footfalls.
A boy on a treasure hunt walks 10 paces west then 20 paces north then 27 paces east. what is the boy s resultant displacement give magnitude and direction?
When we add up the vectors we are left with 17 paces east and 20 paces north. Tan(x) = opp/adj = 17/20 x = 40.4o - remember that this is degrees from North We can then work out the distance using trig or pythagora's theorem. I'll use pythagora's theorem: srt(20^2 + 17^2) = 26.2 paces ok, but is the direction 26.2 paces North? because you have to give magnitude and direction. The magnitude is 26.2 paces The direction is 40.4 degrees we measure degrees clockwise from north - exactly like on a compas or protractor. Thirty
How many syllables does the word paces have?
There are two syllables. Pac-es.
How many strides are in a mile?
Depends on your stride.A mile is 5280 feet.Answer:The Romans measured their miles in paces (strides). The term they used was "Mille passus" (a thousand paces). This distance was about 1620 yards in today's measure, slightly shorter than the 1760 yards in a modern mile. Using the Roman's pace and today's measurement this would make a modern mile 1086 paces.
