What is a scale on a map?

1 answer:

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.

The tension in the horizontal cord is 30N. Find the weight of the object.

Making a drawing of the system, we will have two forces which are tension and the weight of the object. Balancing the forces present, we do as follows:

T = W
W = 30 N

Therefore, weight is equal to 30 N. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.

Answer:

4.6834625323 m/s

0 m/s

Explanation:

s = Displacement

t = Time

Velocity is given by

$v=\dfrac{s}{t}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{5220000}{12.9\times 24\times 60\times 60}\\\Rightarrow v=4.6834625323\ m/s$
