Let us take east and north as the positive x and y-axes should the motion be plotted in a cartesian plane. Thus, the x value is 45 miles and the y value is 20. The tangent of an angle is equal to the ratio of y to x.

   tanθ = y / x

Substituting,

   tanθ = 20/45 = 0.44

The value of θ is 23.96°.

What is the frequency of a wave?
Paladinen [302]
The answer should be the number, or amount, of cycles that occur in a given time. Frequency is basically Hertz. Frequency is the number of waves that pass through a certain point every second. I hope that I was able to answer your question.
