What is a scale on a map?

Physics
1 answer:
Oksi-84 [34.3K]3 years ago
7 0
A map is almost always smaller than the place it describes. If a map of the US were drawn in its actual size, it would be 3,000 miles wide, and very difficult to fold. ... The scale of the map is the ratio of a distance on the map to the same distance on the real thing. ... If the map scale is 1 : 50000, then 1 foot on the map shows things that are actually spread over 50000 feet in the real city or field.

A ball is dropped from rest at a point 12 m above the ground into a smooth, frictionless chute. The ball exits the chute 2 m abo
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

29,7 m

Explanation:

We need to devide the problem in two parts:

A)  Energy

B) MRUV

<u>Energy:</u>

Since no friction between pint (1) and (2), then the energy conservatets:

Energy = constant ----> Ek(cinética) + Ep(potencial) = constant

Ek1 + Ep1 = Ek2 + Ep2

Ek1 = 0  ; because V1 is zero (the ball is "dropped")

Ep1 = m*g*H1

Ep2= m*g*H2

Then:

Ek2  = m*g*(H1-H2)

By definition of cinetic energy:

m*(V2)²/2 = m*g*(H1-H2) --->  V2 = \sqrt{(2*g*(H1-H2)}

Replaced values:  V2 = 14,0 m/s

<u>MRUV:</u>

The decomposition of the velocity (V2), gives a for the horizontal component:

V2x = V2*cos(α)

Then the traveled distance is:

X = V2*cos(α)*t.... but what time?

The time what takes the ball hit the ground.

Since: Y3 - Y2 = V2*t + (1/2)*(-g)*t²

In the vertical  axis:

Y3 = 0 ; Y2 = H2 = 2 m

Reeplacing:

-2 = 14*t + (1/2)*(-9,81)*t²

solving the ecuation, the only positive solution is:

t = 2,99 sec ≈ 3 sec

Then, for the distance:

X = V2*cos(α)*t = (14 m/s)*(cos45°)*(3sec) ≈ 29,7 m

This chart lists four examples of two objects that are in contact.
Oxana [17]

Before coming into conclusion first we have to understand the direction of heat flow.

Heat is the transferred thermal energy from one body to another body due to the temperature difference just like water flows from higher level to lower level.

Whenever two bodies having different temperature come closer to each other heat will flow from hotter body to cooler one if no external work is done. The heat flow may be through any of the ways i.e conduction,radiation or convection. Hence temperature difference is the parameter which gives the direction of heat flow.

The temperature is also considered as a measure of average kinetic energy of the substance.The thermal energy does not give the direction heat flow. Heat may  flow from the body  having low thermal energy but at higher temperature to the body having higher thermal energy but at low temperature. The reverse does not happen naturally .

In example 1 there is fire and air. Obviously fire is at high temperature and air at low temperature.So heat will flow from object 1 to object 2.

In example 2 there is a metal at 80 degree Celsius and another metal at 12 degree Celsius .So heat will flow from object 1 to object 2

In example 3 we have cooler ocean and warm air. So the heat will flow from object 2 to object 1.

In example 4 we have a tool with high thermal energy and a material with little thermal energy.We already know that thermal energy can not determine the direction of heat flow. Here the temperature of each substance is not given.The kinetic energy is  part of thermal energy.So there is the chance of higher kinetic energy of the tool for having higher thermal energy .At that time the heat will flow object 1 to object 2.Otherwise the reverse will occur. So it is a special case.

As per the question only option 4 is correct which tells that heat will flow from object 1 to object 2 in examples 1,2,4, and heat will flow from object 2 to 1 in example 3. Other options violate the fundamental law of thermodynamics.

When a car burns gasoline, much of the energy is released in the form of heat. Which of the following best describes this proces
horrorfan [7]

Answer: Option (B) is correct.

The first law of thermodynamics is an adaptation of the law of conservation of energy, this is thoroughly adapted for the systems(thermodynamics). Law of conservation of energy defines that the total energy of a confined system is stable; energy can be transferred or converted from one form to another, but it cannot be formed or destroyed.
