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

100 points! NO SPAM. I am researching the differences between Islam and ISIS, and also what they have in common. I need at least
Rzqust [24]
They are several similarities:

1) Most of the person in the Terror group "ISIS" follow "Islamic religion.
2) The people which follow both of them resides in west Asia like Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria etc.
3) ISIS have laws based on some misconcepts which are explainable by the religion "Islam"
4) They both believe in "Zihad" it is religious thing, whose goal is to achieve "Heaven in their language it is "Jannat"
5) They both are Organization, which means they both work under an organized law which is followed by everyone in their community.

The differences between them are:

1) Islam is the religion & ISIS is an organization. 
2) Islam originated in 6 Century A.D. whereas ISIS originated like 60 Years ago.
3) Islam follow God, so most of their people believe in peace whereas ISIS is a terror group so they believe in harm others.
4) Islam can be followed by everyone and it is legal whereas ISIS is a bad thing & illegal.
5) ISIS has one leader name "Baghdadi" whereas Islam have their God name "Allah"
6) ISIS is limited in west Asia whereas a person who follow Islam can be found anywhere around the world

Hope this helps!

andre [41]

Answer:

Student C.

Explanation:

The student C statement is correct about the disappearing of Saturn's rings. The main reason of disappearing of Saturn's rings is the sloping of the Saturn planet. Saturn has its own orbit in which he revolve around the sun, During its movement, the orbit takes it to a location where the planet seems to tip just enough so that the rings slowly seem to be disappearing. The view of student A is incorrect because the ring is not made of methane gas, it is made of large pieces of comets, asteroids or shattered moons. The view of Student B is also incorrect because there is not just the ice coated dust particle but also pieces of rocks which reflect the light not refracted.
