In what ways are directions slightly distorted on the gore map

Physics
2 answers:
Bezzdna [24]4 years ago

Distorted maps attempt a compromise, cutting the terrestrial surface along some arbitrarily chosen lines, then projecting each lobe (or gore, in case of interruptions, repeat periodically along related lines like meridians), separately with lower overall deformation. Gore boundaries are often designed to fall on less important areas, like oceans.

Answer:

As explained below,

Explanation:

  • A map projection is made to show the Area, Shape, Distance, and Direction. The properties of a map define its angle of distortion on the earth as earth also rotates on its axis around the sun and to study the earth the world needs to be represented on a plain sheet of paper.
  • So, choosing a projection surface is quite a difficult task as the sheet has to be stretched around the earth thus forming cylinder shape and hence distorting the poles.  
  • Mercator projection is considered to a best-suited projection for the earth from the east to west stretch but it distorts Greenland as it flattens the earth and reduces the equator.
  • A conical projection likewise also creates some distortions as it deforms from away from standard parallels

A scuba diver fills her lungs to capacity (6.0 L) when 10.0 m below the surface of the water and begins to ascend to the surface
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

As temperature is constant , we shall apply Boyle's law

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = pressure at depth of 10 m

= P + hdg , h = 10 , d = 10³ , g = 10

P is atmospheric pressure which is 10⁵ Pa

P₁ = 10⁵ + 10 x 10³ x 10

= 2 x 10⁵

applying the formula

2 x 10⁵ x 6 = 10⁵ x v

v = 2 x 6 = 12 L

volume will be doubled at the surface .

B )

warming of air at the surface will increase the volume of air in her lungs so so she will need more lung capacity .

C )

The rms value of a gas depends upon the temperature of the gas . As temperature of the gas is constant , the rms value of the gas particles will remain constant when she goes to the surface .

Which planet moves faster in its orbit: jupiter or neptune? explain?
Setler79 [48]
<span>Jupiter moves faster than neptune in its orbit. It is because jupiter is closer to sun than neptune. The time taken to move on the orbit depends upon the distance from the sun. The length of orbit increases with increasing the distance from the sun and hence the speed also varies accordingly.</span>

In the process of changing a flat tire, a motorist uses a hydraulic jack. She begins by applying a force of 58 N to the input pi
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is "3899.92 N".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Force,

F_{app}=58 N

Ratio,

\frac{R_2}{R_1}=8.2

As we know,

Area, A=\pi r^2

or,

⇒  \frac{F_2}{F_1} =\frac{A_2}{A_1}

On substituting the value of "A", we get

⇒  \frac{F_2}{F_1} =\frac{\pi r_2^2}{\pi r_1^2}

⇒  \frac{F_2}{F_1} =\frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}

On applying cross-multiplication, we get

⇒  F_2=F_1\times (\frac{r_2}{r_1} )^2

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒       =58\times (8.2)^2

⇒       =58\times 67.2

⇒       =3899.92 \ N
