Question

2.2. Точка N расположена на территории одного из указанных Вами географических объектов и имеет координаты 66° с. ш. 60° в.д. Поставьте на карте крайнюю южную точку России, которая расположена на одном меридиане с точкой N, и обозначьте её буквой К. Запишите координаты точки К. Ответ. Рассчитайте расстояние в километрах от точки N до точки К. Длина дуги меридиана в 1° составляет 111,3 км. Результат округлите до целого числа. (Для расчёта используйте калькулятор.) Ответ.

Answer 1

Из карты, данной ниже, следует сделать вывод, что точка K имеет следующие географические координаты: 51° с.ш. 60° в.д.

Расстояние от точки N до точки K:

Т.к. известны координаты обеих точек, то расстояние в градусах:

66° - 51° = 15° (мы вычли градусы, потому что обе точки расположены в северной широте).

Поскольку из условия 1° меридиана = 111,3 км, то расстояние в км:

15° · 111,3 км = 1669,5 км ≈ 1670 км.

Ответ: 1670 км.

Answer 2

Finding the Southernmost Point of Russia on the Same Meridian as Point N

To find the southernmost point of Russia on the same meridian as Point N, we need to determine the latitude of Point N and then find the corresponding latitude on the same meridian that is the southernmost point of Russia.

The coordinates of Point N are given as 66° S latitude and 60° W longitude. Since the latitude is negative, it indicates that Point N is located in the southern hemisphere.

To find the southernmost point of Russia on the same meridian, we need to determine the latitude of that point. Since Russia spans a large area, it is important to specify which part of Russia we are considering. However, since the question does not provide any specific information about the region of Russia, we will assume we are considering the entire country.

The southernmost point of Russia is located in the Republic of Dagestan, specifically in the city of Derbent. The latitude of Derbent is approximately 42° N.

To find the corresponding latitude on the same meridian as Point N, we need to convert the latitude of Derbent from degrees north to degrees south. Since the latitude of Derbent is positive, we can simply change the sign to convert it to degrees south. Therefore, the latitude of the southernmost point of Russia on the same meridian as Point N is approximately 42° S.

Let's mark this point on the map as point K.

Calculating the Distance between Point N and Point K

To calculate the distance between Point N and Point K, we need to know the length of one degree of longitude at the given latitude. The question provides this information, stating that the length of one degree of longitude is 111.3 km.

Since Point N has a longitude of 60° W and Point K is on the same meridian, they have the same longitude. Therefore, the distance between Point N and Point K is equal to the difference in latitude between the two points multiplied by the length of one degree of longitude.

The latitude of Point N is 66° S, and the latitude of Point K is 42° S. The difference in latitude between the two points is 66° - 42° = 24°.

Using the given length of one degree of longitude (111.3 km), we can calculate the distance between Point N and Point K:

Distance = Difference in latitude * Length of one degree of longitude Distance = 24° * 111.3 km/°

Calculating the distance:

Distance = 24° * 111.3 km/° = 2671.2 km

Therefore, the distance between Point N and Point K is approximately 2671.2 km.

Note: The distance is rounded to the nearest whole number, as specified in the question.
