Answer:

Large scale maps are required for urban planning. These provide large space in which detailed information and even the smallest points can be shown. Therefore, at times map is quite big but we have to reduce it according to size of paper and need so that major features may be concentrated upon. Measure the length and width of the map. Divide the length and width by 2 if you are asked to reduce the map to half of its original size. For example, if the length and width of a map are 30cm and 20cm respectively, such a map should measure 15cm by 10cm if reduced to half its size.

In the process of compiling maps cartographers are often required to either reduce or enlarge maps. Reduction or enlargement involves change in the size. An enlargement provides the same map but proportionally larger than the original. A reduction gives the same map that is proportionally smaller than the original

NEED HELP ASAP PLZ 30 points!!! How do I describe the geography of Saint Petersburg Florida?

spayn [35]

Answer:

St. Petersburg is located on the Pinellas Peninsula in southernmost Pinellas County. It is surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico to the west and Tampa Bay to the east. To the north, the city borders Clearwater. The 345 miles of shoreline around the peninsula include the resort communities of Clearwater Beach, Dunedin, Indian Rocks Beach, Redington/Bellaire Beach, Madeira Beach, St. Petersburg, St. Pete Beach, Safety Harbor, Tarpon Springs, and Treasure Island. The Sunshine Skyway bridge spans Tampa Bay to connect St. Petersburg with Manatee County to the south. More than 20 barrier islands buffer the Pinellas Peninsula from the Gulf of Mexico, resulting in a calm surf ideal for family water activities.

Your teacher has asked you to perform an experiment to see if the shape of objects, alone, affects the motion of objects. Which

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

"Apply the same amount of force to a ball, cube, and pyramid, each of the same mass" would be the best experiment to perform.

Explanation:

Geometry has a major effect on an object's level of drag. As with lift, the drag is linearly proportional to the size of the entity that moves through air. The cross-sectional size of an entity governs the drag form generated by the varying pressure around the object.

It is the force which the air imposes on an object and passes through it. Air resistance drives up as gravity pulses down for a falling object. Size and shape impact air resistance, the greater the area of the surface, the greater the resistance to air. The friction works in the opposite direction of motion, slowing an object's motion.
