Elevations

Geographically, elevation refers to the geometric height after a fixed reference point. Elevations can be measured by using the Earth’s sea level and the Earth’s center as reference points, but the former is used more commonly.

A rock is dropped at the same instant that a ball at the same elevation?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Any object that falls on Earth, no matter its size, will fall at the same speed. Drop a rock and a ball and both will accelerate at the same rate. The only thing that would slow them down is air resistance.

What if your light truck weighs 3500 kg you drive up a gentel slope that is 0.5 km long at the top of the slope you are 200 m higher in elevation than when you started assuming no friction what force?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Assuming the truck maintained a constant speed up the slope, the work done to raise the truck's elevation against gravity would be equal to the gain in its potential energy. The force required to perform this work would be the component of the truck's weight parallel to the slope, which can be calculated using trigonometry.

A truck weighs 3500kg you drive 0.5 km long The top of the slope you are 200 m higher in elevation than when started Assuming no friction what force has your engine exerted to drive up this slope?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The work done by the engine is equal to the change in potential energy. The change in potential energy is given by the formula mgh, where m is the mass of the truck, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height difference in meters. Substituting in the given values, we have (3500kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 200m) = 6,860,000 J.

Is a plateau higher or lower than a plain?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A plateau is higher in elevation than a plain. Plateaus are elevated flat landforms with steep sides, while plains are low-lying areas characterized by relatively flat terrain.

Do fires have an elevation limit?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Fires can occur at any elevation depending on factors such as fuel availability, weather conditions, and ignition sources. However, the risk and behavior of fires may vary at higher elevations due to factors like reduced oxygen levels, colder temperatures, and different types of vegetation.

Do 3rd and 4th generation IR surface to air missile require lead and elevation if yes then why?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, 3rd and 4th generation IR surface to air missiles do require lead and elevation because these parameters are necessary for the missile to accurately intercept a target. Lead accounts for the target's movement, adjusting the missile's trajectory to intercept the target at the right point. Elevation ensures that the missile is launched at the correct angle to reach the target at a specific altitude.

A person on a very high cliff throws a ball vertically up at an initial speed of 13.0 ms Neglect friction whats the speed at the highest point the acceleration at the highest point?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

At the highest point, the speed of the ball is 0 m/s because it momentarily stops before falling back down. The acceleration at the highest point is equal to the acceleration due to gravity (approximately -9.8 m/s^2) acting in the downward direction.

What are the highest and lowest points on a standing wave called?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The highest points on a standing wave are called antinodes, while the lowest points are called nodes. Antinodes represent the points of maximum displacement in the wave, while nodes represent points of zero displacement.

What serves as the baseline for measuring elevations of earths landforms?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

These days, elevations are measured from the Geoid model, which is a layer near sea level all of whose points have identical force of gravity.

The old terminology that is still popular was "Mean Sea Level". ("Mean" is about the same as saying, "Average").

Why is it colder the higher you are above sea level?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The temperature drops as you increase in altitude because the air becomes less dense. As you climb higher, the atmosphere thins out, which reduces the air pressure and the ability of air molecules to retain heat, resulting in colder temperatures.

A rock is dropped at the same instant that a ball in the same elevation is thrown horizontally which will have the greater speed when it reaches ground level?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The rock will have a greater speed when it reaches the ground level compared to the ball thrown horizontally because the rock will be accelerated by gravity as it falls vertically, while the ball thrown horizontally will only have its initial horizontal velocity.

If a rock is dropped and a ball is thrown horizontally at the same initial elevation Which will have the greater speed when it reaches ground level?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The thrown ball will have a greater speed when it reaches ground level because it has a horizontal component of velocity in addition to the vertical component. The rock only has a vertical component of velocity due to gravity.

Asked by Wiki User

At 1 mile below sea level, the pressure in pounds per square inch (psi) would be approximately 2,227 psi. This represents the increase in pressure due to the weight of the water column above at that depth.
