Answer:

Land Slides

Explanation:

The type of mass wasting that most likely would have occurred in the mountain valley near Durango, Colorado is land slide or land slump.

The heavy rain might have loosened the soil and the rock strata of the mountain valley.And this Loosened mud, rock would have slide down along the inclined slops of the mountain leading to land slides.

Which of the following would produce the most power?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

A mass of 10 kilograms lifted 10 meters in 5 seconds.

Explanation:

Power can be defined as the energy required to do work per unit time.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Power = \frac {Energy}{time}

But Energy = mgh

Substituting into the equation, we have

Power = \frac {mgh}{time}

Given the following data;

Mass = 10kg

Height = 10m

Time = 5 seconds

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s²

Power = \frac {10*9.8*10}{5} = 490 Watts

Hence, a mass of 10 kilograms lifted 10 meters in 5 seconds would produce the most power.

Air pressure may be represented as a function of height above the surface of the Earth as shown below.. P(h) = P_0 e^-.00012h. .
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer. Second Option: .85p_o=p_o e^-.00012h


Solution:

P(h)=Po e^(-0.00012h)

Air pressure: P(h)

Height above the surface of the Earth (in meters): h

Air pressure at the sea level: Po

Height at which air pressure is 85% of the air pressure at sea level:

h=?, P(h)=85% Po

P(h)=(85/100) Po

P(h)=0.85 Po

Replacing P(h) by 0.85 Po in the formula above:

P(h)=Po e^(-0.00012h)

0.85 Po = Po e^(-0.00012h)

While traveling along a highway a driver slows from 24 m/s to 15 m/s in 12 seconds. What is the automobile’s acceleration?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Average Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (ending speed) - (starting speed)

                             =   15 m/s - 24 m/s  =  -9 m/s

Acceleration =  (-9 m/s) / (12 sec) =  - 0.75 m/s² .
