What is horizontal length?

How far or long something is from one end to the other. Vertical length is height.from the ground to the top of a structure or other thing.


What is the distance from a point on the ground at an angle of elevation of 9 degrees to a hot air balloon that is 150m above the ground?

Using trigonometry and the sine ratio the distance is 959 meters to the nearest meter.


What does the word slope mean?

To deviate from the vertical or horizontal, eg. slants, inclines. An inclined surface, plane, positon or direction. There are a number of other definitions, one of which is offensive slang which is inapporpriate to record here.


What is height width dept means?

Height - is the distance from the ground to the top of an object... width is the distance across the widest part... and depth is the measurement from front to back.


What does 2 percent slope mean in sewer pipe slope?

2 percent slope means a 2 foot vertical change for every 100 feet horizontal distance. So if this was a sewer pipe coming out of your house at ground level, then 100 feet away from your house, it would be 2 feet underground. Percent slope is a non-dimensional term, so you could say 2 meters for every 100 meters as well. This is useful to determine how deep a ditch must be dug, and also how much pipe you will need to buy (since the pipe is the hypotenuse of a triangle, you would need [sqrt(1002 + 22) = 100.02] feet of pipe for every 100 feet horizontal distance. Not much difference but you wouldn't want to run short on a project. More importantly, eventually the drop will be too deep to dig a ditch and a lift station should be installed (a pump which pumps the contents up to a higher level, so that it can start flowing downhill again) Sometimes you will see signs on a road before a hill (or at the top of a hill) stating 4 percent grade. This has the same meaning (4 foot drop over 100 foot horizontal distance) and is important mainly for truck drivers so that they can apply the brakes accordingly, especially if they are hauling a heavy load, so that the truck doesn't get out of control.

What part of a vector are the horizontal and vertical parts of the vector?

Its either reality based (vertical is up-down, horizontal is ground distance) or it's purely arbitrary.

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.


Give the 4 difference between horizontal and vertical centering?

Horizontal Alignment includes a straight path, curves, or deviation in a horizontal direction. Vertical Alignment includes vertical curves and gradients on the ground. But it is difficult to change the alignment once the road is constructed, so care has to be taken in finalizing the alignment.


How do you help children understand the difference between tall and long?

Just tell them to think about the terms as different directions since 1 is vertical & the other horizontal. Also tall implies distance from the ground.

A bullet fired horizontally over level ground hits the ground in 0.5 seconds If it had been fired with twice the speed in the same direction it would have hit the ground when?

Assuming no affects from air and a smooth geography, both bullets would fall at the same rate of 9.81 m/s^2 toward earth, and hit the ground simultaneously. You have to look at the bullet's velocity as having a horizontal and vertical velocity vectors. The vertical velocity vector is independent from that of the horizontal. The horizontal vector would be the speed at which the bullet is fired, and the vertical vector is the speed at which the bullet falls due to gravity.


Which information is needed to determine the horizontal distance a projectile travels?

-- the initial horizontal speed of the projectile -- the time it remains in flight before it hits the ground


What is horizontal length?

What kind of information is indicated by the graph of a landing site distance versus projectiles mass if the slope of the curve is zero?

Force = mass * acceleration Mass is only involved during the acceleration in the gun barrel , and is involved (with the explosive force) in translating to muzzle velocity. The horizontal distance travelled depends on the muzzle velocity and the incline of the barrel to horizontal. The curve will be parabolic even when the launch angle is 0 in which case the path will be negative (essentially going underground) 1. split launch velocity into horizontal and vertical vectors 2. using vertical velocity vector (initial velocity u), calculate (total) time to rise and fall back to ground using newtons equations. 3. multiply time by horizontal velocity vector to calculate horizontal distance travelled to landing site.


What are the two types of motion a projectile has?

If you throw ball at an angle above horizontal, you will see the path of the ball looks like an inverted parabola. This is result of the fact that the ball's initial velocity has a horizontal and vertical component. If we neglect the effect of air resistance, the horizontal component is constant. But the vertical component is always decreasing at the rate of 9.8 m/s each second. To illustrate this, let the initial velocity be 49 m/s and the initial angle be 30˚. Horizontal component = 49 * cos 30, Vertical = 49 * sin 30 = 24.5 m/s As the ball rises from the ground to its maximum height, its vertical velocity decreases from 24.5 m/s to 0 m/s. As the ball falls from its maximum height to the ground, its vertical velocity decreases from 0 m/s to -24.5 m/s. Since the distance it rises is equal to the distance it falls, the time that it is rising is equal to the time it is falling. This means the total time is equal to twice the time it is falling. This is the reason that the shape of the ball's path is an inverted parabola. At the maximum height, the ball is moving horizontally. If you do a web search for projectile motion, you will see graphs illustrating this.
