Answer:

The sun's gravity pulls the planet toward the sun, which changes the straight line of direction into a curve.

Explanation:

This keeps the planet moving in an orbit around the sun. Because of the sun's gravitational pull, all the planets in our solar system orbit around it.

Perpendicular Forces
However, the sun's gravitational field doesn't oppose or amplify the planet's forward motion; if it did, the planet would gradually spiral toward the sun or away from it. Instead, the force of gravitation acts in a direction that is almost exactly perpendicular to the planet's forward motion.

iren [92.7K]
Erie has 100 000 people, and Pittsburgh has 300 000 - so from the first two Pittsburgh is the bigger one. 

Philadelphia has 1.5 million people living in it - it is also the biggest city in Pennsylvania (this is the state where all the cities are) - and this is also the correct answer!

It is not the capital however, as it's Harrisburg.

To determine a change of elevation on a topographic map what type of math would you use?
Artemon [7]

Answer:

-subtraction

Explanation:

Elevation is the altitude of a place above a reference frame.

To find the difference between the elevation between two or places on a map, we perform a subtraction operation.

The differences in elevation is the subtraction of the two elevation values from one another.

For example if point A on a map is at 60m above sea level and point B is at 100m, the change in elevation is;

Change in elevation  = Elevation of B - Elevation of A = 100m  - 60m  = 40m
