Question 2
A person intends to walk South. The wind is coming from the Northwest. How does the wind affect his movement direction?
Crosswind from Northwest pushes the person left while moving South.
Question 3
A person wants to go from (0,0) to (6, 6) but there is an obstacle at (2, 1). He can only move North or East. What sequence of directions should he take to avoid the obstacle?
Direct path blocked at (2, 1). Detour: first move North to clear obstacle's y-coordinate, then East. Final destination: (6, 6).
Question 4
An airplane is traveling on a bearing of Southwest (225°). If it turns 135° anticlockwise, what is its new bearing?
Starting bearing: 225°. Anticlockwise turn of 135° → 90° = East.
Question 5
A person facing South turns 90° anticlockwise. Which direction is he now facing?
From South, turning 90° anticlockwise means rotating 90° anticlockwise. Final direction: East.
Question 6
A person facing West turns 90° anticlockwise. Which direction is he now facing?
From West, turning 90° anticlockwise means rotating 90° anticlockwise. Final direction: South.
Question 7
At 9:00, the hour hand points exactly towards West. If a person is facing East, where is the hour hand relative to him?
At 9:00, hour hand is at West (270.0°). Person faces East (90°). Angular difference: 180.0°. The hour hand is behind.
Question 8
At 6:00, the hour hand points exactly towards South. If a person is facing East, where is the hour hand relative to him?
At 6:00, hour hand is at South (180.0°). Person faces East (90°). Angular difference: 90.0°. The hour hand is to his right.
Question 9
A person is facing East. If he turns right, which direction is he now facing?
Turning right from East means rotating 90° right. From East, right leads to South.
Question 10
A person is facing East. If he turns right, which direction is he now facing?
Turning right from East means rotating 90° right. From East, right leads to South.
Question 11
A walks 25m West. B walks 20m West. The ratio of their distances from start is 1.25:1. What is the position of B relative to A?
A at (-25, 0), B at (-20, 0). Difference: (5, 0) → East, 5.0m.
Question 12
A walks 41m East. B walks 28m South. The ratio of their distances from start is 1.46:1. What is the position of B relative to A?
A at (41, 0), B at (0, -28). Difference: (-41, -28) → West, 49.6m.
Question 13
A person is facing South. If he looks into a mirror placed to the left of him, which direction does his reflection appear to be facing?
Mirror on left reflects your left side, making you appear to face West.
Question 14
A 11m tall person is standing outside at 18:00 evening. If the sun's rays make a 30° angle with the ground, and his shadow falls towards East, what is the length of his shadow?
Shadow length = height × tan(angle) = 11 × tan(30°) = 6.4 m. Shadow direction: East (sun in opposite direction).
Question 15
An airplane is traveling on a bearing of Southwest (225°). If it turns 135° anticlockwise, what is its new bearing?
Starting bearing: 225°. Anticlockwise turn of 135° → 90° = East.
Question 16
A 26m tall person is standing outside at 6:00 morning. If the sun's rays make a 30° angle with the ground, and his shadow falls towards West, what is the length of his shadow?
Shadow length = height × tan(angle) = 26 × tan(30°) = 15.0 m. Shadow direction: West (sun in opposite direction).
Question 17
A 24m tall person is standing outside at 9:00 morning. If the sun's rays make a 15° angle with the ground, and his shadow falls towards West, what is the length of his shadow?
Shadow length = height × tan(angle) = 24 × tan(15°) = 6.4 m. Shadow direction: West (sun in opposite direction).
Question 18
A 26m tall person is standing outside at 6:00 morning. If the sun's rays make a 30° angle with the ground, and his shadow falls towards West, what is the length of his shadow?
Shadow length = height × tan(angle) = 26 × tan(30°) = 15.0 m. Shadow direction: West (sun in opposite direction).
Question 19
In the morning, if you are facing the sun, in which direction will your shadow fall?
In the morning, the sun is in the East. Since you are facing the sun, your shadow falls behind you, towards the West.
Question 20
A 26m tall person is standing outside at 18:00 evening. If the sun's rays make a 30° angle with the ground, and his shadow falls towards East, what is the length of his shadow?
Shadow length = height × tan(angle) = 26 × tan(30°) = 15.0 m. Shadow direction: East (sun in opposite direction).
