Concept explainers
Sundials The Moorish sundial is designed so that the shadow of the gnomon (the vertical triangular piece) is consistent at each hour from one day to the next. This allows the hours to be marked on the sundial using a single scale that is not affected by the changes in the Sun’s path during the year. If the sundial is positioned so that the gnomon is aligned along a longitudinal line from north to south, then at exactly noon the gnomon will cast a shadow due north.

- If two ships are 70 nautical miles apart on the ocean, what is the great circle distance between them in radians?arrow_forwardFind the angle of elevation of a rifle barrel, if a bullet fired at 1,500 feet per second takes 2 seconds to reach a height of 750 feet. Give your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.arrow_forwardSuppose the clock is resting on a table, the radius of the clock is 4 inches, and the hour hand is 3 inches. Identify the radian angle measure that the hour hand rotates through for the following angles if it starts at 3 p.m: 4:00 PM, 6:00 PM, 12:00 AM, 7:00 AM the next morning.arrow_forward
- Consider an angle with an initial ray pointing in the 3-o'clock direction that measures 0 radians. The terminal point on a circle centered at the angle's vertex is h radius lengths to the right of the circle's center and v radius lengths above the circle's center. The slope of the terminal ray of the angle is m. Match each of the following inputs/outputs with their corresponding variable. (You can use each variable once, more than once, or not at all.) -1 The input of the cos function а. V The output of the cos - 1 function b. h The input of the sin - 1 function С. т d. 0 | The output of the sin- function 1 v The input of the tan function v The output of the tan' - 1 functionarrow_forwardThe town of Plainfield is 4 miles east and 6 miles north of Burlington. Allentown is 8 miles west and 1 mile north of Plainfield. A straight road passes through Plainfield and Burlington. A second straight road passes through Allentown and intersects the first road at a point somewhere south and west of Burlington. The angle at which the roads intersect is π/4 radians. Explain how to find the location of the point of intersection and carry out the computation you describe.arrow_forwardA toy racecar races along a circular race track that has a radius of 35 meters. The racecar starts at the 3-o'clock position of the track and travels in the CCW direction. Suppose the car has swept out 2.25 radians since it started moving. a. The racecar is how many radius lengths to the right of the center of the race track? | radius lengths Preview b. The racecar is how many meters to the right of the center of the race track? meters Preview c. The racecar is how many radius lengths above the center of the race track? radius lengths Preview d.
