Raw Capture changes to Terrain.

Here we look at our post from a different point of view.

On the R576 by The Feale.

Here is a team member's route from school via Guiney's Bridge on the R576 by the River Feale. This route will take you to the N21 which is at right angles to the R576. At this T-Junction you may bear South (left) to Castleisland, Tralee, Kerry Airport and Killarney. At this junction you may also bear North (right) towards Abbeyfeale and on to NCW., Adare and Limerick.

Just what is GEOCACHING ???

We shall explain in the days ahead !!!!!!!

Problems on Speed, Time and Distance.

Here is our first posting for February. We are using captured real time data. We know the index no., the date, time to the hour, minute and second. We know the altitude. Most important we know the distance of each leg in the route. We also now the time taken to travel each leg. With these two very valuable pieces of information we will now calculate the speed per hour across each leg. We have been studying Time, Speed and Distance in our Maths class since we came back to school. Now we will apply those skills to work out and solve the real time problems in above chart.

Remember

SPEED = DISTANCE/TIME

DISTANCE = TIME X SPEED

TIME = DISTANCE/SPEED

So start calculating !!!!!!!!!

School Home Profile

Refer to the last two postings.
Distance = 5.8 km.
Minimum Altitude = 79m.
Maximum Altitude = 273.5m.
Descending by 195m. to the nearest metre
Arrival at Maximum Altitude after a journey of 3.24km.
Make up 6 Mathematical questions based on the data on the profile.

Colour Coding

The YELLOW Colour shows the School to Home route for a pupil.
The RED colour shows the Home to School route.

In our next postings we will explore, compare and contrast distance, route profiles.
