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?

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.
