Vertical Exaggeration (1 Viewer)

[bec_powell]

does anyone know what was the right answer for the vertical exageration of the cross section i got 5.6 which i knew wasnt right

 

[rubylotus11]

I had no idea. I put
1/10 X 50/1 = 5?

 

[bec_powell]

that good news for me i thought i was way out

the answer should be 50 for VE.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, thats wat i put having no idea in hell if i was working it out correctly or not

 

[rubylotus11]

I had 50, but I thought it seemed like too big a number.
I originally did
1\10 X 500/1 =50
but I changed it to 5
damn

 

[scut]

yeah with VE, its simply Vertical Scale / Horizontal Scale

So it would've been 1/1000 divided by 1/50000, and u just type it into ur calculator and u get 50,
its only worth 1 mark, so dun worry bout it too much,
I'm worried about that vocation question, I'm sooo buggered for that

I thought the two scales were
1) 1cm = 10m
2) 1cm =50 000cm

Divided 50 000 by 1000 =50?
1/10 X 50/1 = 5
but I guess I should have divided 50 000 by 100

 

[scut]

yep the two scales were
1cm to 10m (1cm to 1000cm)
1cm to 50000cm

and then u divide the two

theres another bit i got wrong./

 

[scut]

ah dun worry about it too much, I think the majority of people struggled in the short answers (me included!!)

 

[Jawsh]

lol i put in 1:10


im such an idiot

 

[Wahlito]

Was the correct answer 5 or 50?

 

[scut]

50 is the correct answer

 

[guy]

i forgot my calculator
haha
so i wrote 1:5 or something silly but got the rest of the questions on it right i thinik

 

[piccaninny]

first time i got 530 for vertical exageration i thought its too steep, second time i got 50. what reason did you write why exageration is used? i wrote it is used to measure how steep is hill

 

[guy]

i think its to put a ratio from vert to hor so that the graph still resembles the original mountain sorta

what one centimetre on the horizontal scale represent over what one centimetre on the vertical scale represents.....so there for 500m/10m = 50 m

man you guys are spastic its not hard to do and you must have dont it like ten billion other times.

old like 3 people at our school got 50 i dont get whats so hard.

VS/HS=VE

VS=1cm represents 1000cm 1/1000
HS=1cm represents 50000cm 1/50000

therfore (1/1000)/(1/50000)

=1/1000 x 50000/1

=50000/1000

=50/1 =50 wei

I can't remember ever doing a question on VE at school, but I knew roughly what it was, so I guessed how to work it out, and it was right...common sense I guess
