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
What direction of a vector that points somewhere due north or due east messured in?
The direction of a vector pointing due north is measured in degrees clockwise from the north, with 0° being due north. The direction of a vector pointing due east is measured in degrees counterclockwise from the east, with 0° being due east.
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
What does direction N38E mean?
Direction N38E means a bearing of 38 degrees east of north. It indicates a direction that is 38 degrees east of due north when using a compass.
The direction of a vector that points somewhere between due north and due east is measured in?
degrees
What direction on a compass has a bearing of 450?
A bearing of 450 degrees on a compass represents a direction of due east.
What are the altitude and azimuth of a star that is now setting due west?
The altitude of a star that is setting due west is 0 degrees, as it is on the horizon. The azimuth would be 270 degrees if we consider 0 degrees as north and increase in a clockwise direction.
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

Which direction does the wind blow in the southern hemisphere?
In the Southern Hemisphere, the wind generally moves in a clockwise direction due to the Coriolis effect. This means that winds tend to blow from east to west or south to north in the Southern Hemisphere.
What is the velocity of a car going 50 mph due east?
The velocity of a car going 50 mph due east is 50 mph in the eastward direction. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed (magnitude) and direction.
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.
