Q: does anyone know of any online/distance degrees or diplomas on occupational health and safety?
I am currently working as a ohs officer and would like to do some more qualifications. Online or distance education would be better as i dont have time to go to classes and more uni classes arnt offered at night. I am after a degree in occupational therapy or occupational health & safety. Or a diploma in OH&S.

A: I would stick with traditional colleges that also offer online courses and steer clear of those online, for profit schools such as university of phoenix, strayer, ITT tech, capella as former students of u of phoenix started: http://www.uopsucks.com You may already know, but occupational therapy and occupational health are two separate fields albeit the ot wants his or her patients to be 'safe and healthy' :) And just fyi, ot is very competitive to gain entry into with the prospective student needing a 4.0 gpa in prereq courses as well as overall gpa. For general career info: http://www.bls.gov/oco and can search occupational therapists, occupational health and safety specialists or registered nurse (RN's may eventually get job in occupational health).

Q: Why is a ball shot from a spring gun at 45 degrees yield greater distance then one at 30 or 60 degrees?
Why is a ball shot from a spring gun at 45 degrees yield greater distance then one at 30 or 60 degrees?

A: If you fire it at 30 degrees elevation it goes faster sideways but doesn't go up as high so spends much less time in the air and the sideways distance travelled is sideways speed*time in air. If you fire it at 60 it spends more time in the air but is going quite a bit slower sideways.

Q: If you travel west through 10 degrees of longitude along the equator, the distance travel will be very?
different from the distance traveled through 10 degrees of longitude at 60 degrees north latitude. why?

A: 10 degrees of latitude are always 69 miles apart because latitude lines run horizontal and parallel to each other all the way to each pole from the equator. Longitude degrees are a different story. At the equator, longitude lines are 69 miles apart and parallel, but as they head toward the poles they get closer to each other until they converge. Longitude lines are like the seams on a basketball.

Q: The angle of elevation from the end of the shadow to the top of the buiding is 63 degrees, distance 220 feet.
1. Find the height of the building to the nearest foot. 2. Find the length of the shadow to the nearest foot.

A: Assuming the distance 220 feet is the distance from the top of the building to the end of the shadow, if you draw this, you have a triangle. Use the sin formula of opposite over hypotenuse. sinx = o / h sin63 = height of building / 220 height of buliding = 220sin63 = 196cm 2) Length of the shadow is the same concept but using the cosine formula. cos = a/h a = 220cos63 = 100cm

Q: Isn't the distance between two meridians measured in the degrees of latitude?
Isn't the distance between two meridians measured in the degrees of latitude?

A: Nope. Degrees of longitude.

Q: If an object is thrown at 45 degrees, is maximum distance achieved?
If an object is thrown at 45 degrees, is maximum distance achieved?

A: Only if there is no air resistance.

Q: Are there any accredited distance BS degrees in Computer Science?
I have a 2 year degree in math and I am trying to find a distance based Computer Science program. I've only found one from florida state and university of illinois. Florida State and Troy University require you to have a calculus based physics sequence which is not feasible because I work full time. I'm looking for nationally recognized & accredited colleges, and not degree mills such as phoenix, aiu, itt, etc. I am seeking a BS in Computer Science. Not IT or IS. Computer Science. Thank You

A: The University of Maryland has an online program to get BS degrees, including one in Computer Science. You can get more information at the link below.

Q: What is the distance between 25 degrees North Latitude and 40 degrees South Latitude?


A: Each line of Latitude is separated by 69.2 miles. 25 + 40 = 65 lines of latitude. 65 x 69.2 = 4,498 miles.

Q: I'd like to do a distance finance degree - I live in Kuwait.. What's the best one?
I'd like to specialise in accounting and finance, but I haven't got any previous qualifications in this area, though I know my 'financial stuff' and am an experienced and reasonably successful investor. I'm currently doing a Business Administration and Economics degree (as a mature student, while working) with the Open University here in Kuwait. I'm about to start my third year, but have found the amount of accounting and finance work offered on the course disappointing. Is it too late to change or transfer my degree and are there any really good (and affordable) distance accounting and finance degrees around? Could I use the two years' credit I've already got? I don't want something mega-expensive, if this is avoidable, and obviously weekend/night courses are out. I'd be really grateful for any help - there seem to be a looot of universities offering distance degrees, but I don't want to end up with a practically useless (to employers) qualification from a Mickey Mouse uni. Thanks.

A: While planning ten years in the future for the degree I want to get after I finish my current masters and the one I want afterwords (I'm a learning junky) I found this one: Msc financial economics from School of oriental and African studies university of London. http://www.cefims.ac.uk/cgi-bin/programmes.cgi?func=programme&id=5. If this isnt exactly what your looking for check out their other programs, its a goof school with interesting coursework. Not too cheap but a bargain I think compared to some other stuff out there.

Q: How do i find out the distance from Brisbane at 27.5 degrees S, 153 degrees E to the south pole?

the distance measured in degrees east and west of the prime meridian is called..?

A: Longitude

Q: What are the actual measurements (distance)of degrees, minutes & seconds?


A: 60 sec =1 min 60min=1 deg 360 deg =full circle degrees r not a measure of distance they r a measur of an angle

Q: Joey drove the car and covered distance of 28m 35 degrees North of East, then turned 3 km Northwest?
Find the car's resultant displacement vector. Thank you very much!

A: Assuming you meant 28 km N of E, North displacement = 28sin35 + 3sin45 East displacement = 28cos35 - 3cos45 North displacement ≈ 16.46073 km East displacement ≈ 20.81494 km 26.89410 km @ 37.73841 N of E or 26.9 km @ 37.7 N of E
