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:)

Describe how an inclined plane increases the force without changing the amount of work done

yawa3891 [41]

An inclined plane decreases the amount of force needed to move an object but increases the distance the onject needs to be moved. Since work = distance x force, whe amount of work stays the same.

A 6 N and a 10 N force act on an object. The moment arm of the 6 N force is 0.2 m. If the 10 N force produces five times the tor

Levart [38]

Answer:

The moment arm is 0.6 m

Explanation:

Given that,

First force $F_{1}=6\ N$

Second force $F_{2}=10\ N$

Distance r = 0.2 m

We need to calculate the moment arm

Using formula of torque

$\tau=Force\times lever\ arm$

So, Here,

$\tau_{2}=5 \tau_{1}$

We know that,

The torque is the product of the force and distance.

Put the value of torque in the equation

$F_{2}\times d_{2}=5\times F_{1}\times r_{1}$

$r_{2}=\dfrac{5\times F_{1}\times r_{1}}{F_{2}}$

Where, $F_{1}$ =First force

$F_{1}$ =First force

$F_{2}$ =Second force

$r_{1}$ = distance

Put the value into the formula

$r_{2}=\dfrac{5\times6\times0.2}{10}$

$r_{2}=0.6\ m$

Hence, The moment arm is 0.6 m

How long does a car (1000 kg) have a speed of 30 m/s from a rest if the engine power is 10kw

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer: 90.1 s

Explanation:

Use equation for power:

P=F*V

Use eqation for force:

F=ma

F---force

V---velocity

Vr=om/s

V=30m/s

m=1000kg

P=10000W

---------------------------

P=FV

F=P/V

F=10000W/30m/s

F=333.33N

Use equation for force to find accelartaion.

F=ma

a=F/m

a=333.33N/1000kg

a=0.333 m/s²

Use equation for accelaration to find out time:

a=(V-Vs)/t

t=(V-Vs)/a

t=(30m/s)/(0.333m/s²)

t=90.09 s≈90.1 s

The two speakers at S1 and S2 are adjusted so that the observer at O hears an intensity of 6 W/m² when either S1 or S2 is sounde

Zanzabum

Answer:

The minimum frequency is 702.22 Hz

Explanation:

The two speakers are adjusted as attached in the figure. From the given data we know that

$S_1 S_2$ =3m

$S_1 O$ =4m

By Pythagoras theorem

$S_2O=\sqrt{(S_1S_2)^2+(S_1O)^2}\\S_2O=\sqrt{(3)^2+(4)^2}\\S_2O=\sqrt{9+16}\\S_2O=\sqrt{25}\\S_2O=5m$

Now

The intensity at O when both speakers are on is given by

$I=4I_1 cos^2(\pi \frac{\delta}{\lambda})$

Here

I is the intensity at O when both speakers are on which is given as 6 $W/m^2$

I1 is the intensity of one speaker on which is 6 $W/m^2$

δ is the Path difference which is given as

$\delta=S_2O-S_1O\\\delta=5-4\\\delta=1 m$

λ is wavelength which is given as

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

Here

v is the speed of sound which is 320 m/s.

f is the frequency of the sound which is to be calculated.

$16=4\times 6 \times cos^2(\pi \frac{1 \times f}{320})\\16/24= cos^2(\pi \frac{1f}{320})\\0.667= cos^2(\pi \frac{f}{320})\\cos(\pi \frac{f}{320})=\pm0.8165\\\pi \frac{f}{320}=\frac{7 \pi}{36}+2k\pi \\ \frac{f}{320}=\frac{7 }{36}+2k \\\\ {f}=320 \times (\frac{7 }{36}+2k )$

where k=0,1,2

for minimum frequency $f_1$ , k=1

${f}=320 \times (\frac{7 }{36}+2 \times 1 )\\\\{f}=320 \times (\frac{79 }{36} )\\\\ f=702.22 Hz$

So the minimum frequency is 702.22 Hz
