What is the ratio of the vertical distance to the horizontal distance?
It is a measure of the average gradient or slope.
The ratio of the vertical distance to the horizontal distance?
The ratio of the vertical distance to the horizontal distance is sometimes colloquially phrased as "rise over run"; the numerically calculated value is called "slope". Mathematically, slope can be thought of as the tangent (function) of the "angle of elevation".
What is a graph with distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis is called?
distance-time graph
What is the horizontal distance formula?
The answer depends on the context: If you have a distance vector of magnitude V, that is inclined at an angle q to the horizontal, then the horizontal distance is V*cos(q).
How much is a 3 degree fall over 1 meter?
To calculate the vertical drop over a given horizontal distance due to a slope, we use the formula: vertical drop = horizontal distance * tan(slope angle). Given a 3-degree slope over 1 meter, the vertical drop would be 1 meter * tan(3 degrees), which is approximately 0.0524 meters or 5.24 centimeters. This means that for every 1 meter of horizontal distance, the elevation would decrease by about 5.24 centimeters.
