A model is considered to scale if its relative proportions are equal to that of the object its modeling. If a building is twice

as tall as it is wide, then a scale model of the building will also be twice as tall as it is wide regardless of how big the model is relative to the real building.
The picture below is of a relief globe. The height of objects (above or below sea level) on a relief globe use a different scale than their widths and lengths.

Without knowing the scale used for the heights of objects, what could be figured out accurately using this relief globe?

A. Where the highest and lowest places on earth are
B. The kinds of terrain on different parts of the earth
C. How high above sea level a certain mountain is
D. How much later the sun sets on top of a mountain than in a valley

Answer:

The correct option is B.

B. The kinds of terrains on different paths of the earth.

Explanation:

Looking at relief globe, we can clearly see the heights and types different areas of the world. We can not accurately determine the height of any area because we do not know the scale factor. We certainly cannot determine the highest or lowest point on the earth because it is impossible to calculate just from looking at the globs. We cannot find the height of a mountain above sea level or any other height measurement. It is also no where related to time of sun rising and setting in a particular area.

A stone is thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity 20m/s. Find the maximum height it reaches and the time taken by it
Len [333]

Answer:

The maximum height it reaches will be 20 m.

The time taken by it to reach the height will be: t = 2 seconds.

Explanation:

We know the equation of the motion under gravity

v² - u² = 2gs

u = initial velocity = 20 m/s

v = final velocity = 0 m/s

s\:=\:h_{max}

so

v^{2} \:-\:u^{2} \:=\:2gs

substituting u = 20 m/s, v = 0 m/s, g = -10 and s\:=\:h_{max}

\left(0\right)^2-\:\left(20\right)^2=\:2\left(-10\right)\times h_{max}

2\left(-10\right)\times h_{max}=-400

\frac{2\left(-10\right)h_{max}}{-20}=\frac{-400}{-20}

\:h_{max}=20 m

Therefore, the maximum height it reaches will be 20 m.

We know the equation

u = gt

substitute u = 20, g = 10

20 = 10 × t

t = 20/10

t = 2 seconds

Therefore, the time taken by it to reach the height will be: t = 2 seconds.

What is mean by "an electrically-charged object is quantized" ? and which physicist is accredited with the quantization of charg
PIT_PIT [208]

It means that electric charge exists in integral multiples of an elementary unit of charge rather taking on continuous values.

Since Millikan was the first to measure the value of the electronic charge in his famous "oil drop" experiment, he may be the one given credit for discovering quantization of charge.

The position function x (6.0 m) cos[(3p rad/s)t p/3 rad]gives the simple harmonic motionof a body. at t 2.0 s, what are the(a) d
Daniel [21]

The correct formula for this simple harmonic motion is:

x = (6.0) cos [ (3 pi) t + pi/3 ] 

 

A. Calculating for displacement x at t = 2:

x =6.0 cos (19/3 pi)
x = 6 (0.5)

x = 3 m

 

<span>B. Velocity is equivalent to the 1st derivative of the equation. v = dx / dt </span>

<span> Velocity v = dx/dt = -18 pi sin (3pi t + pi/3) </span>

v = - 18 pi sin (6pi + pi/3)

v = 49.0 m/s

 

<span>C. Acceleration is the 2nd derivative or the 1st derivative of velocity dv / dt</span>
Acceleration a = dv/dt = -54 pi^2 cos(3pi t + pi/3) 

a = -54 pi^2 cos(3pi * 2 + pi/3)

a = 386.34 m/s^2

D. Phase = pi/3 

E. frequency f= 3pi/2pi = 1.5Hz 


<span>F. period = 1/f = 1/1.5 = .6667sec </span>

A student places his hand in front of a plane mirror as shown in
NARA [144]

Answer:

A:

Explanation:

Plane mirrors always form virtual images meaning although the object appears to be in the other side of the mirror the light rays actually originate in front of it. The image is inverted meaning that when you lift your right hand it shows your left hand rising. and with true orientation.

A squirrel is trying to locate some nuts he buried for the winter. He moves 4.3 m to the right of a stone and dogs unsuccessfull
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The total displacement from the starting point is 1.5 m.

Explanation:

You need to sum and substract, depending on the movement (to the right, sum; to the left, substract).

First, it moves 4.3 m right and return 1.1 m. So the new distance from the starting point is 3.2 m.

Second, it moves 6.3 m right, so the new distance is 9.5 m.

Finally it moves 8 m to the left, so 9.5 m - 8 m= 1.5 m.

Summarizing, at the end the squirrel is 1.5 m from its starting point.
