What is a measure of how far an objects has moved from a starting point?
A change in the position of an object is called a displacement. Velocity is the measure of the rate of change of displacement with respect to time.
How many seconds in a meter?
Since seconds measure time, and a meter is a measure of distance, one could say that a given distance one meter long will last an infinite number of minutes. However, what happens in that meter during eternity will likely involve a whole lot of change!
What are some velocity experiments?
some typical experiments would be anything to do with an object moving in a particular direction at a set distance. So for example you could throw a tennis ball and time it from the second it was released from your hand to the second it stopped and measure the distance from where you threw the ball to where it stopped, then divide that distance by the time is took to stop there. Simply change the object moving for other experiments.
What is the change in field value over distance?
Gradient.
How many millimeters are there in 5 and a half liters?
None. A millimetre is a measure of length or distance while a litre is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.
Measure of change in elevation in a certain distance is called what?
The measure of change in elevation in a certain distance is called gradient.
What is a change in elevation?
the measure of change in elevation in a certain distance is called gradient
What is change in elevation called?
the measure of change in elevation in a certain distance is called gradient
A measure of the change in elevation over a certain distance?
This would be the slope or the gradient.
A mesure of the change in elevation over a certain distance?
Topography.
The change in elevation from one contour line to the next is called what?
The change in the elevation between isolines is called a contour line. Contour lines on a topographical map resemble a volcano.
Where is the highest and lowest elevation change in the shortest distance?
no where
Change in elevation divided by distance?
It's the Gradient.
Which is the equation for average slope?
the change in elevation in feet divided by the distance in miles
What is the difference between relief and elevation?
Relief is the change in elevation in a region and measures the difference between that area's highest and lowest elevation. Elevation is the distance above or below sea level that a region is.
Why do some stars change elevation more than others?
You might mean distance. Stars are not measured in elevation. Stars form apart from each other, that's why the distance to a star compared to another will never be the same.
How do you change square centimeter to centimeter?
You cannot change square centimeter to centimeter. The square centimeter is a measure of area and the centimeter is a measure of distance.
