Answer:

Explanation:

Here, geographic coordinates of

St. John's (NL) is latit

The angular distance is 100o

To covert it into radians,

1o = pie/ 180o = 0. 0174444 radians

therefore,

100o =?

multiply 100 with 0. 0174444 we get,

= 1. 7444 radians

Now we have a formula to calculate the distance between these two cities.

Let y is the distance between two cities

Therefore,

Y = (x/360) x 2 x pie x R

Here,

x = angular distance between the cities.

pie = 3. 14

R= radius of earth = 6371km

Hence, by putting these values in the above formula we get,

Y = (100/360) x 2 x 3. 14 x 6371

= (0. 277777) x 40009. 88

= 11113. 82 km

Answer:

θ  = 100°

, θ  = 1. 7444 radians

x= 11113. 82 km

Explanation:

The geographic coordinates of  St. John's (NL) and Papeete (Tahiti) given as

St. John's (NL) is latitude :47°33′41″N and longitude: 52°42′45″W

Papeete (Tahiti) is latitude : 17°32′06″S and longitude : 149°34′11″W

Now convert it into degrees

St. John's longitude is : 52°42′ 45″ W  :

: 52° + 42°/60 + 45°/ 3600

: 52° + 0. 7° + 0. 0125°

: 52. 7125°

Papeete longitude is : 149°34′11″W:

: 149°  + 34°/60 + 11°/3600

: 149°  + 0. 5666°  + 3. 0555°  

: 152. 6221°

Let θ is the angular distance,  

Therefore θ = the difference between the longitude

θ= 152. 6221°  - 52. 7125°  

θ  = 100°

The angular distance is 100°.

Now convert covert it into radians,  

1°  =π / 180°  = 0. 0174444 radians

So

 100°  = 0. 0174444 x 100= 1. 7444 radians

θ  = 1. 7444 radians

Distance between these two cities.

Let x is the distance between two cities given as

x = ( θ/360) x 2 x π x R

θ = angular distance between the cities.

R= Radius of earth = 6371 km

π = 3. 14

Now, by putting these values in the above formula ,

x = (100/360) x 2 x 3. 14 x 6371

x= (0. 277777) x 40009. 88

x= 11113. 82 km

True
Though initially designed for refueling, NASA plans to expand the capabilities of Restore-L to include other maintenance activities that will extend the life of an orbiting spacecraft. “Restore-L effectively breaks the paradigm of one-and-done spacecraft,” says Satellite Servicing Capabilities Office (SSCO) Associate Director Frank Cepollina in a prepared statement. Once deployed, the robot could act as a gas station in space, providing satellites with much-needed propellant. On the maintenance side, the robot one day may be able to manufacture and assemble components in space and use them to service a satellite. It also may be used to reduce space accidents by removing space junk from orbit.

Which of the following are correct statements about the Indian subcontinent
CaHeK987 [17]

The subcontinent has fewer natural barriers to invasion than East Asia.

There are lot of educated people in India who are fluent in English.

Explanation:

The Indian subcontinent and East Asia are both regions in Asia. They border with each other, with the border being on the northern part of the Indian subcontinent and southwestern part of East Asia. These two regions have lot of differences between them, including culture, languages, religion, lifestyle, politics, geography etc., but they also have several similarities too.

One similarity of these two regions is that both of them have natural barriers, which throughout history have helped a lot in their protection. The Indian subcontinent has only two natural barriers, the Himalayas, which are massive and occupy almost the entirety of the northern part of the region, and the ocean. East Asia has multiple natural barriers, including the Himalayas, Taklamakan Desert, several seas, and the taiga.

One big difference between the regions is that in India there are much higher percentage of educated people that are fluent in English than in East Asia. This is mostly because India is a former British colony, so the English language is a legacy from the colonialism, but it is also seen as advantageous when looking for jobs.

Describe the process of folding,​
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

When rocks deform by plastic deformation they can bend and fold. The process of folding occurs when rock is compressed, as it is along colliding plate boundaries. Upturned folds are called anticlines and down turned folds are called synclines.
