What object best represents a true scale model of the shape of earth?

Any object that is spherical in shape would best represent a true scale model of the shape of the Earth. Examples are ping pong balls, billiard balls, marble and other smooth spherical objects. The shape of the Earth is called the oblate spheroid. The "oblate" would refer to an oblong shape and "spheroid" would refer to an almost spherical shape. The earth has on almost spherical shape and has a slightly oblong appearance. The diameter from the South pole to the north pole was measured to have a value of 12714 km while the diameter of the equator is approximately 12756 km. As you can see, the values are not equal. This makes the earth not a perfect sphere.

How do modern scientist describe the make up of matter
lbvjy [14]

The matter is a collection or composition of extremely small particles called "Atoms".

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The matter is anything that has mass and which utilizes space by having volume.
  • Modern scientists describe the makeup of matter as a collection of tiny substances called atoms.
  • Matter can either be in solid, liquid, or gaseous state and even appear in plasma form.
  • Matter can neither be created nor be destroyed but only transferred from one form to the other.
  • Atoms are composed protons, neutrons and electrons. The protons and neutrons are contained in the nucleus, while the electrons orbit around the nucleus of the atom.
  • Protons are positively charged, neutrons are neutral and electrons are negative.

Find the magnitude of pressure in Pascal of 150N that acts normally on area. Of 0.25m2
s2008m [1.1K]

Pressure = force/ area

= 150N/ 0.25m^2

= 600Pa

Name the missing force... Normal <br>   Spring <br>   Tension <br>   Air Resistance
Kay [80]

the missing force is spring force.

The object is hanging from the spring and the spring is stretched by some distance from its equilibrium position.  due to this stretch in the spring , a spring force starts acting on the object trying to regain its equilibrium position.

the spring force is given as

F = kx

where F = spring force ,k = spring constant , x = stretch in the spring.

the spring force balances the weight of the object in down direction and hence keeps the block from falling down.

list all the storage forms of energy that forms of energy that you are familiar with. for each storage form, give an example of
ella [17]

Storage form of energy:

  • Potential energy
  • Nuclear energy
  • electrical energy
  • thermal energy
  • magnetic energy

Potential energy:

All stationary objects are having potential energy stored in it. This energy can be transferred in form of kinetic energy when it comes in the motion from rest. Example, An object placed at height h having potential energy in it. When it comes in motion from the rest the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

Nuclear energy:

Nuclear energy is energy that is stored in nucleus of any element. Example, fusion reaction on sun gives earth solar energy.

Electric energy:

Electrical energy is due to movement of the electrical charges. Example, In elctrical batteries electrical energy is stored.

Thermal energy:

Thermal energy is the internal energy of a substance that is transferred to other substance in the form of heat. Example, on heating water is a beaker stem energy is developed.

Magnetic energy:

Magnetic energy is the potential energy stored in the magnetic field. Example, using magnetic energy electric field is produced according to Faraday's law.
