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

Process of Science: Explaining the Motions of Planets. To ancient astronomers, the motions of the Sun, the Moon, and the stars s
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

<u>Geocentric Model</u>: - this model is Earth Centered

-Retrograde motion is explained by epicycles

<u>Heliocentric Model</u>: - This model is Sun Centered

-Retrograde motion is explained by the orbital speeds of planets

<u>Both models</u>:- Epicycles and deferents help explain planetary motion

-Planets move in circular orbits and with uniform motion

-The brightness of a planet increases when the planet is closest to Earth

Explanation:

Retrograde motion is an apparent change in the movement of the planet through the sky. Ptolemy's model of the solar systems was geocentric, where the Sun, Moon, planets and start all orbit the Earth in perfectly circular orbits. However this perfectly circular orbits around the Earth did not explain the occasional retrograde motion of the planets. In the Copernicus' heliocentric model, retrograde motion of planets is naturally explained. The explanation for retrograde motion in a heliocentric model is that retrograde occurs roughly when a faster moving planet catches up to and passes a slower moving planet.

Carefully study the map above. Which of the following cities is most likely to have a maquiladora?
netineya [11]

Answer:

The correct answer is Nuevo Laredo

Explanation: Nuevo Laredo is a Mexican border town that would be able to secure the products tariff free from the United States, assemble the product using workers who are paid very little, then return the finished product back to the United States for a large profit for the manufacturer-which is the definition of a maquiladora
