What direction is 45 degrees clock wise from due east?
South East
What is the reciprocal bearing of 117 degrees?
YES!!! it is 360 - 117 = 243 For bearing (navigation) . Bearing of due North is bearing zero(0) . Then moving around the compass clockwise due East is bearing 090 , die South is bearing 180 and due West is bearing 270 . However, if starting at bearing zero(0) and moving ANTI-Clockwise , the first bearing is 270 , which is 90 degrees of turn. The 90 degrees in anti =clockwise is the inverse. NB For ALL bearings you quote three digits. So due East , bearing 90 is quoted as '090'. This is normal navigational practice.
A boy runs at - 2 ms east. What is another way of describing the boy's direction?
+2 m/s due West.
What is the back azimuth of 168 degrees?
348 degrees. It is the exact opposite on a compass dial. 168 is 12 degrees before due south, so the back azimuth is 12 degrees before due north.
Hunter in a tree 90 ft above the ground see 2 deer. 1 is due west at at angle of depression 34 degrees and other due east at angle depression 58 degrees how far part to nearest whole number are they?
West. tan theta = opposite/adjacent you have opposite, 90 feet, you want adjacent ( degree mode) tan 34 degrees = 90 feet/adj. adjacent = 90 feet/tan 34 degrees = 133.4 feet ------------------------same for east tan 58 degrees = 90 feet/adj. adjacent = 90 feet/tan 58 degrees = 56.2 feet ------------------- 133.4 feet + 56.2 feet = 190 feet is the distance 2 deer are apart
A difference between direction and bearing?
For sailors, bearing is the angle measured clockwise from North. For mathematicians, direction is measured counter-clockwise from the positive x-axis. Thus, due East as a bearing would be 90 degrees, since it is 90 degrees clockwise from North, and East as a direction would be 0 degrees, since East is the same as the positive x-axis. So yeah, there you go.
What direction is 45 degrees clock wise from due east?
South East
The direction of a vector that points somewhere between due north and due east is measured in?
degrees
What direction would you have to travel from the US to Malta?
For the shortest direct flight to Valletta, Malta: From Honolulu or Anchorage: about 8 degrees east of due north From Los Angeles: about 22 degrees east of north From New York: about 54 degrees north of east

Is it possible that velocity of an object be in a direction other than the direction of acceleration?
Yes. Acceleration is change in motion. Velocity -- speed and a vector -- combined with mass provide momentum. While such directions are meaningless, imagine you are in space and there is (to get a picture and bearing of it) a 'north/south' direction and an 'east/west' direction. Suppose you were going due north at a constant 100 km/h (not accelerating), but you turned 90 degrees east and began accelerating in that direction at 1 km/s2. You are not suddenly travelling due east just because you are accelerating east, but are slowly arcing east of north as you continue the acceleration. In fact, to eventually go due east after starting off due north, you would actually have to steer a bit south of east and accelerate in that direction as simply accelerating due east after having been moving due north will make east an asymptote (a goal you can get close to but not quite reach). By steering and accelerating a bit south of east, the asymptote is along that vector and making due east eventually achievable.
What direction do high and low pressure areas travel in the US?
Due to the Coriolis Effect, low pressure systems in the Northern Hemisphere spiral inwards in a counter clockwise direction. This is due to the Coriolis force, which causes a body in a rotating frame to move in a perpendicular motion to the axis of rotation.
What direction does the ark face in Mexico?
In northern Mexico: due east. As you move further south in Mexico, the ark should face slightly north of due east. The southernmost point in Mexico is 18 degrees of latitude further south than Jerusalem.
What bearing angle is due east?
90 degrees
Does due west mean right next to?
Due west means straight in the west direction, i.e. 270 degrees - not 269 degrees - not 271 degress. Direction has nothing to do with distance.
What does due east mean?
East is a direction, a compass point. To the right on a map held the right side up. "due" wrt directions means "straight". So "due east" means "straight (to) the east".
Which way does the earth rotate and why?
counter-clockwise. All the the objects in the solar system orbit in that direction and almost all of them rotate in that direction. This due to the conservation of angular momentum.
