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>

Describe the basis concept of the atwood’s machine
Ann [662]

Answer:The Atwood Machine is a device that demonstrates the basic principles of acceleration and dynamics. You'll mostly see Atwood machines in Physics laboratories and classrooms. It consists of two objects with different masses that hang vertically from a frictionless pulley that has a very small, negligible mass.

The following graph shows the force exerted on and the displacement of object being pulled
Tomtit [17]

The work done to pull the object 7.0 m is the total area under the graph from 0.0 m to 7.0 m, determined as 245 J.

<h3>Work done by the applied force</h3>

The area under force versus displacement graph is work done.

The total work done by pulling the object 7 m, can be grouped into two areas;

  • First area, A1 = area of triangle from 0 m to 2.0 m
  • Second area, A2 = area of trapezium, from 2.0 m to 7.0 m

A1 = ¹/₂ bh

A1 = ¹/₂ x (2) x (20)

A1 = 20 J

A2 = ¹/₂(large base + small base) x height

A2  = ¹/₂[(7 - 2) + (7-3)] x 50

A2 = ¹/₂(5 + 4) x 50

A2 = 225 J

<h3>Total work done </h3>

W = A1 + A2

W = 20 J + 225 J

W = 245 J

if you have several different substances mixed together, like Italian salad dressing, where do the most dense materials go where
Alecsey [184]
If you've ever mixed water and oil together,you've probably noticed that the oil rises to the top and the water stays at the bottom-- no matter how much you try to shake them. This is because oil is less dense than water, making it float to the top. The molecules in oil are larger than those in water, so they don't pack as tightly together as they do in water. In a mixture of oil and vinegar, the<span> </span>oil <span>floats on the </span>vinegar/<span>water mixture, while the solids sink to the bottom. So, if one material floats over another, the material on top is less dense. 

Let me know if this helps! :)</span>

Atoms of two different elements must have different
Tresset [83]

Answer:

Number of neautrons

Explanation:

Atoms from two different elements may have the same number of neutrons, but never the same number of protons. The number of protons is unique to the element and represents the atomic number. (sorcastic.org)

The total kinetic energy of two cars is measured before and after they crash into each other. The total kinetic energy of the tw
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Option B, Some of the cars' kinetic energy was converted to sound and heat energy.

Explanation:

In an elastic collision, no energy is lost during and after collision. Thus, it can be said that in an elastic collision both momentum and kinetic energy remains conserved.  

While in non-elastic collision, kinetic energy of the system is lost. However, the momentum of the system is conserved. Generally, during and after collision some of the kinetic energy is lost as thermal energy, sound energy etc.  

Hence, option B is correct
