What are the contour lines on a contour map?

2 answers:

7 0

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:)

8. A car travels at a constant velocity of 70 mph for one hour. By the end of the second hour, the car’s velocity was 60 mph. At

Mrac [35]

Answer:

Positive acceleration is in third hour and negative acceleration is in second hour.

Explanation:

Velocity of car in first hour = 70 mph

Velocity of car in second hour = 60 mph

Velocity of car in third hour = 80 mph

Acceleration = Change in velocity / Time

Acceleration in second hour = (60 - 70)/1 = -10 mph²

Acceleration in third hour = (80 - 60)/1 = 20 mph²

So positive acceleration is in third hour and negative acceleration is in second hour.

What is the amount of thermal energy needed to make 5 kg of ice at - 10 °C to

agasfer [191]

Answer:

The amount of thermal energy needed is 15167500 joules.

Explanation:

By First Law of Thermodynamics, we see that amount of thermal energy ( $Q$ ), in joules, is equal to the change in internal energy. From statement we understand that change in internal energy consisting in two latent components ( $U_{l,ice}$ , $U_{l,steam}$ ), in joules, and two sensible component ( $U_{s,w}$ ), in joules, that is:

$Q = U_{l,ice} + U_{s, w} + U_{s,ice} + U_{l,steam}$ (1)

By definitions of Sensible and Latent Heat, we expanded the formula:

$Q = m\cdot (h_{f,w}+h_{v,w}+c_{ice}\cdot \Delta T_{ice}+c_{w}\cdot \Delta T_{w})$ (2)

Where:

$m$ - Mass, in kilograms.

$h_{f,w}$ - Latent heat of fussion of water, in joules per kilogram.

$h_{v,w}$ - Latent heat of vaporization of water, in joules per kilogram.

$c_{ice}$ - Specific heat of ice, in joules per kilogram per degree Celsius.

$c_{w}$ - Specific heat of water, in joules per kilogram per degree Celsius.

$\Delta T_{ice}$ - Change in temperature of ice, measured in degrees Celsius.

$\Delta T_{w}$ - Change in temperature of water, measured in degrees Celsius.

If we know that $m = 5\,kg$ , $h_{f,w} = 3.34\times 10^{5}\,\frac{J}{kg}$ , $h_{v,w} = 2.26\times 10^{6}\,\frac{J}{kg}$ , $c_{ice} = 2.090\times 10^{3}\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}$ , $c_{w} = 4.186\times 10^{3}\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}$ , $\Delta T_{ice} = 10\,^{\circ}C$ and $\Delta T_{w} = 100\,^{\circ}C$ , then the amount of thermal energy is:
