Answer:

The contour lines are the third dimension, showing the elevation of an area

Explanation:

Topographic maps are those that shows the topography of a particular area, type of relief and the location of hills and plains. They are provided with the north direction and the index that helps in a better understanding of the maps. They are commonly used by geologists and geographers.

The third dimension of the map i.e the height of the surface features is shown in terms of contour lines. Contour lines are the lines of equal elevations. They are shown by a number that depicts the height at that point from the mean sea level. The high mountains, valleys, and basins are easily identified from these maps.

An object or any location can be represented on a two-dimensional surface like a paper or computer screen. This representation is known as map. Most maps do not take into account the elevation of the object or the location they representing. On the other hand, Topographic maps use contour lines to represent the third dimension and to show elevation change on or below the surface of the earth.

How much kinetic energy does an object have that is moving at a rate of 30 m/s and has a mass of 4000 kg ?
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

K = 1800 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of the object, v = 30 m/s

Mass of the object, m = 4000 kg

We need to find the kinetic energy of the object. The formula for the kinetic energy is given by :

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4000\times 30^2\\\\K=1800000\\\\or\\\\K=1800\ kJ

So, the required kinetic energy is equal to 1800 kJ.

valina [46]

Answer:

  • Increases levels of well-being neurotransmitters
  • Improves fitness
  • Improves mental health
  • Reduces the risk of developing diseases

Explanation:

Performing physical activities helps to build a healthy relationship with yourself, in the sense that physical activity promotes health at all levels. Health is a set of physical, mental and social well-being, so physical activity reaches all these levels and increases the quality of life for a person as a whole.

There are several types of physical activities that can be performed and you can choose the one that best fits your preferences and routine. A walk for example can be done in any safe place and at any time and it already helps in improving physical conditioning, in receiving serotonin and endorphins, in reducing blood pressure and protecting the heart and in improving mental health.

So the ideal is for each person to set their own goals in relation to their health and seek to achieve them, either to have a better quality of life, to socialize more with people, to prevent diseases, etc.
