Answer 2

hey there!

Answer 3

oh this is very difficult >_<

Answer 4

WOW that hard! I'm good at Science but this is WAY to hard! 😱😫😲

Answer 5

So what exactly do you need help with?

Answer 6

Finally!

Answer 7

So, the question is, what is a circle of latitude? I know they are asking me to find the distance, but how do I do that?

Answer 8

A "circle of latitude is the circle around the earth at "different heights"

To find the distance the clouds travelled, first find the number of degrees the (centre of the) cloud moved in each direction (separately). That is find the change in latitude and longitude.

the question tells you the value of the degrees in each direction, so multiply by the appropriate amounts. then use some trigonometry.

Answer 9

Sorry, this thing stopped giving me notifications

Answer 10

no worries, it does it to me too. so try to do the question and let me know if you have doubts

Answer 11

Can you walk me through this? So the first thing to do is find the degrees moved.

Answer 12

They said that the distance between each pair of lines is 10 degrees

Answer 13

It had moved through 3 pairs of lines, which would be 30 degrees, am I right?

Answer 14

Nvm, apx 40 degrees west & apx 10 degrees south

Answer 15

no from, slide 5 to slide 6 it moved around 13 degrees in latitude, and about 4 in longitude

Answer 16

Ohh, I got that number by assuming that each square, was 10 degrees. But my number was from Jun,16-18

Answer 17

ohh okay. the cloud still only moved about 20 degrees in latitude and 7 in longitude though

Answer 18

Would I be correct in saying that every square of lat & long lines are 10x10?

Answer 19

yeah, but just because the cloud is in another square, it doesn't necessarily mean it moved 10 degrees

Answer 20

Yeah, I get that

Answer 21

Now we have 20x7

Answer 22

Now what?

Answer 23

the question tells you the distance each degree in the different directions represents.

after you find the distance use trigonometry

Answer 24

I honestly have not taken any trig

Answer 25

But I can fill in the lat and long chart using this data correct?

Answer 26

\(c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\)

Answer 27

yes you can

Answer 28

Well, it is asking what position it actually is. We know that it moved 20x7, how do we determine its place on the grid?

Answer 29

did you do number 1?

if you did you would know the position of the volcano, then you can find the actual coordinates of the cloud

Answer 30

Ohhh right

Answer 31

just one sec

Answer 32

15.142994, 120.349260

Answer 33

Thats the coordinates

Answer 34

So one Jun 16 it was 15.143001, 120.349263, correct?

Answer 35

@aaronq

Answer 36

@flexastexas I have read over your questions im getting an A in science and doing high school physics but that's beside the point why don't you look each of these answers up on google I guarantee u will find them faster and get what you want to know

Answer 37

Already tried doing that, no luck.

Answer 38

that's strange @flexastexas

Answer 39

Could you help?

Answer 40

lol don't look them up on google, you won't learn anything.. getting an A in anything doesn't mean you know how to think critically, or that you know the subject, more so when taking doing online courses. you'll get to post secondary institutions and you will fail miserably if you intend in "looking up answers on google".

I told you how to solve it, and it looks like you were making progress. why did you stop?
