Latest Question

Simple premise.

Everyday I (and other people can do so) will post a single math or physics question from a wide range of various difficulties. The 'easy' questions will just be college-level stuff. Not braindead simple stuff that middle schoolers can do. (ex.: 1 + 1 = ?)

Difficulty: Easy
Category: Physics

Tornadoes are spawned by severe thunderstorms, so being able to predict the path of thunderstorms is essential. If a thunderstorm is moving at 15 km/h in a direction 37 degrees north of east, how far north does the thunderstorm move in 2.0 h?

19.3 km

(2+7) • (4-67) =

 

[TheAnointedOne]

19.3 km

close

(2+7) • (4-67) =

(2+7) • (4-67) = x
x = (2+7) • (4-67)
x = 9 • -63
x = -567

 

[Karume]

close



(2+7) • (4-67) = x
x = (2+7) • (4-67)
x = 9 • -63
x = -567

what do you mean close? to what decimal point did you calculate?

19.3 km

why is it not 30?

 

[Counter Racist Male]

what do you mean close? to what decimal point did you calculate?

a decimal point is actually a * symbol.

 

[Karume]

why is it not 30?

he didnt ask simply how far was traveled. he asked how far north it traveled

 

[Karume]

a decimal point is actually a * symbol.

I wasnt referring to the second question

 

[TheAnointedOne]

what do you mean close? to what decimal point did you calculate?

I'll explain after more people attempt to answer.

Sin 37 degrees equals x/30
So x equals 30 multiplied sin 37.

The answer in km is 30*sin37 degrees. I dont have a calc on hand.

thats the answer I gave but he claims that I am merely "close"

 

[QuintessentialMan]

Oh no doubt.
He trippin man. That is definitely the answer .

good Thread. i’ll be taking physics in the Fall or Spring, so i’ll be interested in not only the answers but how you solve the question
