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

Define neuron and nerve<br>cell​
san4es73 [151]

Answer: Hi!

A neuron is a basic working unit of the brain. Neurons are special cells designed to transfer information to other nerve, muscle, or gland cells. They are pretty cool - looking too! (A slightly irregular circular shape with branches reaching out from all sides.) A neuron is a nerve cell. Nerve cells are the way of communication in the nervous system.

Hope this helps!

You are a detective investigating why someone was hit on the head by a falling flowerpot. One piece of evidence is a smartphone
umka21 [38]

Answer:

0.37 m

Explanation:

Given :

Window height, h_1 = 1.27 m

The flowerpot falls 0.84 m off the window height, i.e.

h_2 = (1.27 x 0.84 ) m in a time span of $t=\frac{8}{30}$   seconds.

Assuming that the speed of the pot just above the window is v then,

h_2=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

$(1.27 \times 0.84) = v \times \left( \frac{8}{30} \right) + \frac{1}{2} \times 9.81 \times \left( \frac{8}{30} \right)^2$

$v=\left(\frac{30}{8}\right) \left[ (1.27 \times 0.84) - \left( \frac{1}{2} \times 9.81 \times \left( \frac{8}{30 \right)^2 \right) \right]}$

$v= 2.69$ m/s

Initially the pot was dropped from rest. So,  u = 0.

If it has fallen from a height of h above the window then,

$h = \frac{v^2}{2g}$

$h = \frac{(2.69)^2}{2 \times 9.81}$

h = 0.37 m

If the forces are equal and opposite why does the rocket ship move
qaws [65]
<span>A rocket in its simplest form is a chamber enclosing a gas under pressure. A small opening at one end of the chamber allows the gas to escape, and in doing so provides a thrust that propels the rocket in the opposite direction. A good example of this is a balloon. Air inside a balloon is compressed by the balloon's rubber walls. The air pushes back so that the inward and outward pressing forces are balanced. When the nozzle is released, air escapes through it and the balloon is propelled in the opposite direction.</span>

Inessa [10]
For this problem, we would be using the formula: Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2ad 
where:
Vf = 400m/s 
Vi = 300m/s 
a = ? 
d = 4.0km 
= 4000m 

400^2 = 300^2 + 2a4000 
a = [ 160000 - 90000 ] / 8000 
a = 8.75m/s^2 
rounding it off to 2 significant figures, will give us 8.8 m/s^2.
