their is an equal amount of curve in a circle for each unit

2019-04-20 20:02:09 UTC  

equal unit

2019-04-20 20:02:18 UTC  

no there isn't, not away from a tangent line

2019-04-20 20:02:22 UTC  

If it isn't squared, it is a sloped line

2019-04-20 20:02:27 UTC  

as you go further away, the circle gets further away from its tangent linle

2019-04-20 20:03:03 UTC  

go ahead and plot the two eqautions as a function of d, and use R=6371 km

2019-04-20 20:03:19 UTC  

so if u broke a 24k mile circle into 1 mile parts their is an equal amount of curve in each mile correct?

2019-04-20 20:03:34 UTC  

if you redefine your starting point each mile, yes

2019-04-20 20:03:50 UTC  

what if u had a person at each mile and didnt have to redifine ur point

2019-04-20 20:03:50 UTC  

but if you measure from teh same starting point, no, h would be larger for subsequent miles

2019-04-20 20:04:18 UTC  

each would measure teh same amount of curvature over one mile, b/c they're effectively starting at a new point, each mile, drawing a new tangent line

2019-04-20 20:05:29 UTC  

so frolic u are saying 8 iches per mile squared is correct ?

2019-04-20 20:05:51 UTC  

those words don't make sense, maybe if you wrote an equation i could evaluate it. It sounds like you're saying h=8/d^2

2019-04-20 20:05:57 UTC  

if so, then no, that's incorrect

2019-04-20 20:06:26 UTC  

this is why its important to pay attention in math class,

2019-04-20 20:06:37 UTC  

lol

2019-04-20 20:06:42 UTC  

Math has value, even in this simple example, of trying to share an idea

2019-04-20 20:08:21 UTC  

idk ill have to investigate more into this

2019-04-20 20:08:31 UTC  

like i said im not good with math so

2019-04-20 20:08:50 UTC  

here i have something favorited that shows the equation

2019-04-20 20:09:08 UTC  

im looking at circle on a paper and every inch of the circle their is an equal amount of curvature

2019-04-20 20:09:13 UTC  
2019-04-20 20:09:35 UTC  

@jeremy draw a line tangent to the top of the circle, horizontally

2019-04-20 20:09:54 UTC  

then measure teh vertical distance from the line to the circle, and different locations along the top-right quadrant of the circle

2019-04-20 20:09:59 UTC  

see the pattern if follows?

2019-04-20 20:10:14 UTC  

i dont need to draw tangent lines i can easily see their is an equal amount of curve in every inch of this circle

2019-04-20 20:10:18 UTC  

that is h=R[1-cos(d/R)]

2019-04-20 20:10:35 UTC  

dunno what you mean by 'equal amount of curvature'

2019-04-20 20:10:52 UTC  

we're trying to see how much curve there is as a function of distance

2019-04-20 20:10:58 UTC  

every inch i go their is an equal amount of curvature

2019-04-20 20:11:34 UTC  

which way are you giong an inch, along the circle?

2019-04-20 20:11:56 UTC  

an 8 cut pizza cur correctly all the crusts are the same length and have an equal amount of curvature

2019-04-20 20:12:02 UTC  

cut corretly

2019-04-20 20:12:32 UTC  

sure they do

2019-04-20 20:12:34 UTC  

that is correct

2019-04-20 20:12:45 UTC  

im not trying to bring some complicated math when i can see each section curves the same amount

2019-04-20 20:12:59 UTC  

ok so how do we use this regarding the earth

2019-04-20 20:13:04 UTC  

forget earth

2019-04-20 20:13:19 UTC  

i saw you guys debating how the earth curve is calculated

2019-04-20 20:13:25 UTC  

Why are we forgetting the earth

2019-04-20 20:13:30 UTC  

ok go ahead with earth lol
