What is the difference between absolute and relative location

Geography
1 answer:
GarryVolchara [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

<u>Relative location can be expressed in terms of distance, time and cost. Absolute is often given in terms of latitude and longitude</u>.

Explanation:

  • As the location is used to identify a point or an area on the earth's surface it implies a high degree of certainty.
  • Relative location is one which is about the other, for example, a landmark. An absolute location is one that is identified by specific coordinates, this is regardless of the current location.
  • Geographic location can also be referred s the Absolute location. An example of a relative is that you say there are 50 miles to Houston, and absolute is the exact point of location as Empire state building located in the exact street with an exact number.
  • Absolute location can be measured through scientific means, as it's based on latitude and longitude of earth.

How does a representative democracy differ from an oligarchy? check all that apply .
Finger [1]

Answer:

Difference between Representative Democracy

Explanation:

Representative Democracy is a government system, in which a representative  group of people elected (chosen) by general public - are in power.

a) People elect small group in power, b) Those few <u>public elected</u> people  directly exercise power, c) Government positions are open to many people, d) Anyone can run for office - whosoever chosen by public comes in power : are characteristics of representative democracy, not of oligarchy

Oligarchy is a type of government, in which a small group of powerful people (powerful due to wealth, education, religion, military link etc)  - are in power & the power tends to stay with them.

Oligarchy is run by a small group of powerful people, <u>not elected</u> by general public. Only those few powerful people exercise direct or indirect power - as they are not public representatives. Government positions are not open to many people, anyone cant run office, as the power tends to stay accumulated in that powerful group's hands.

2. If both the mass and radius of the earth, each decreases by 50%, the acceleration due to gravity would (a) remain same (b) de
Scrat [10]

Answer:

(d) increase by 100%

Explanation:

m_{i} = initial mass of earth = m

m_{f} = final mass of earth = (0.5) m

R_{i} = initial radius of earth = R

R_{f} = final radius of earth = (0.5) R

g_{i} = initial acceleration due to gravity of earth = g

g_{f} = final acceleration due to gravity of earth

initial acceleration due to gravity of earth is given as

g_{i} = \frac{Gm_{i}}{R_{i}^{2}}                             Eq-1

Final acceleration due to gravity of earth is given as

g_{f} = \frac{Gm_{f}}{R_{f}^{2}}                             Eq-2

Dividing eq-1 by eq-2

\frac{g_{i}}{g_{f}} = \frac{m_{i}}{m_{f}}\frac{R_{f}^{2}}{R_{i}^{2}}

inserting the values

\frac{g}{g_{f}} = \frac{m_{i}}{(0.5)m_{i}}\frac{(0.5)^{2}R_{i}^{2}}{R_{i}^{2}}

g_{f} = 2 g

So there is 100% increase
