its 45 degree

When a plane takes off it travels for a horizontal distance of 1400 ft before reaching its maximum altitude of 50000 ft what is the planes angle of elevation as it rises?
When a plane takes off it travels for a horizontal distance of 1400 ft before reaching its maximum altitude of 50000 ft; the plane's angle of elevation as it rises would be 86 degrees.
How do you use a theodolite?
Process of Measuring Horizontal Angles Using a Theodolite 1. Setting up the Theodolite: This includes mounting the theodolite on a tripod and making sure it is comfortable for the user. 2. Unlock the upper horizontal clamp. 3. Rotate the theodolite until the arrow in the upper or lower rough sight points to the feature of interest and lock the clamp. 4. Look through the main eyepiece and use the upper horizontal adjuster to align the vertical lines on the feature of interest. 5. The reading is taken by looking through the small eyepiece. Using the minutes and seconds adjuster set the one of the degrees on the horizontal scale so the single vertical line on the bottom scale is between the double vertical lines under the selected degree. 6. The reading is the degree which has been aligned and the minutes and seconds read from the right hand scale and is the horizontal angle from the reference line. Process of Measuring Vertical Angles Using a Theodolite Process of Measuring Vertical Angles 1. Setting up the Theodolite: This includes mounting the theodolite on a tripod and making sure it is comfortable for the user. 2. Unlock the vertical clamp and tilt the eyepiece until the point of interest is aligned on the horizontal lines. Lock the clamp in place. 3. Looking through the small eyepiece, use the minutes and seconds adjuster to align one of the degrees on the vertical scale with the double lines just below it. 4. The reading is the degree that has been aligned and the minutes and seconds is read from the right hand scale. 5. To complete the reading, it may be necessary to measure the distance from the theodolite to the point of interest. The above is al true, but doesn't discuss the practical uses of a theodolite. For example, if you want to know the height of the top of the gable on a house, you could use a theodolite. First, set up the theodolite (btw, I made one with a piece of copper tube, a protractor and a cheap wooden tripod) as noted above, make sure the ground is pretty level between the house and the theodolite, and then measure the distance from the vertical side of the house to the theodolite. (You may choose to move the theodolite so that the distance is the square of a whole number.) Then aim the scope (tube) at the upper-most point of the gable and note the degree of angle on the protractor. If you have pretty level ground between the theodolite and the house, the angle at the intersection of the side of the house and the ground should be 90 degrees. So, now we have two angles (the 90 degrees at the intersection of the side of the house and the ground, and whatever angle you recorded at the theodolite) and a side (the distance from the house to the theodolite). With this information, you can calculate the third angle and the other two sides, one of which will be the hypotenuse and the other will be -- tada! -- the final leg, which will tell you the height of the point you picked out at the top of the gable.
What are two kinds of measurement in trigonometry?
distance and angle
If you keep th velocity of projection and change the angle of projection from 75 degrees to 45 degrees what will happen to the horizontal distance the projectile travels?
If you keep th velocity of projection and change the angle of projection from 75 degrees to 45 degrees what will happen to the horizontal distance the projectile travels? if you finish the nova net lesson you might learn the answer! It will travel a greater distance!
How do the horizontal components of a projectile motion vary from the vertical components?
In projectile motion, the horizontal component of motion is constant and does not change, while the vertical component is affected by gravity causing it to accelerate downwards. This results in a parabolic path of the projectile where the horizontal distance traveled is determined by the initial velocity and angle of projection, while the vertical distance is influenced by gravity.
What do the horizontal motions of a projectile have in common?
The horizontal motions of a projectile are independent of its vertical motion. This means that the horizontal velocity remains constant and unaffected by gravity. Additionally, the horizontal distance traveled by a projectile is determined by the initial horizontal velocity and the time of flight.
What is the word for the horizontal distance a projectile travels?
The horizontal distance a projectile travels is called range.
What is the horizontal displacement of a projectile?
The horizontal displacement of a projectile is the distance traveled by the projectile along the horizontal axis from its initial position to its final position. It is affected by the initial velocity of the projectile and the time it spends in motion. The horizontal displacement can be calculated using the equation: Horizontal displacement = initial velocity * time.
What is the factor influence the distance and time in projectile motion?
projection speed projection angle projection height
What is the horizontal distance traveled by a projectile?
The horizontal distance traveled by a projectile is determined by the initial velocity of the projectile, the angle at which it was launched, and the time of flight. It can be calculated using the equation: horizontal distance = (initial velocity * time * cosine of launch angle).
What projectile angle will get you the longest distance?
The optimal launch angle for the longest distance of a projectile is 45 degrees in the absence of air resistance. This angle allows for the greatest horizontal distance because it balances the vertical and horizontal components of the projectile's velocity.
At what angle from a horizontal should a weapon be fired to achieve minimum distance traveled by the projectile?
The weapon should be fired at a 45-degree angle from the horizontal to achieve the minimum distance traveled by the projectile. This angle maximizes the range (horizontal distance) of the projectile by balancing the vertical and horizontal components of its velocity. At any other angle, the total distance traveled would be greater.
As a projectile shot at an upward angle rises and falls what happens to its horizontal component of its velocity if you neglect air resistance?
The horizontal component of velocity remains constant throughout the projectile's motion, as there are no horizontal forces acting on the projectile to change its speed. This means that the projectile will travel the same horizontal distance over equal time intervals, forming a parabolic trajectory.
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 the formula for a horizontal launched projectile?
The formula for the horizontal distance traveled by a horizontally launched projectile is: range = initial velocity * time. This formula assumes that there is no air resistance and that the projectile is launched horizontally.
