In cartography, a contour line (often just called a "contour") joins points of equal elevation (height) above a given level, such as mean sea level. A contour map is a map illustrated with contour lines, for example a topographic map, which thus shows valleys and hills, and the steepness of slopes.-hope that helped:)

What properties of sound determine the volume of sound? Is this affected by the motion of the sound source?

TEA [102]

The property of sound that determine its volume is its AMPLITUDE. The amplitude and the volume of the sound are directly varied. Which means that the larger the amplitude, the larger is the volume and the softer it is if the amplitude is smaller. It is not affected by the motion of the sound source so long as the barriers are not breached.

if an objects first movement is 3.0m North and another movement is 4.0m West, what is the magnitude of the displacement made ove

Snezhnost [94]

If an object's first movement is 3.0m North and another movement is 4.0m west, the magnitude of the overall displacement made would be 5.0 meters in the northwest direction.

<h3>What is displacement?</h3>

Displacement is a vector quantity. This indicates that it has both a direction and a magnitude and that it is visually represented as an arrow that points from the starting position to the ending position.

As given in the problem if an object's first movement is 3.0m North and another movement is 4.0m west

Resultant displacement can be calculated with the help of the triangle law of the vector addition,

Resultant = √( 3² + 4²)

=√25

= 5.0 m

Thus, the magnitude of the overall displacement made would be 5.0 meters in the northwest direction.
