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 projectiles will be visibly affected by air resistance when they fall?
NemiM [27]
Any object that is launched as a projectile will lose speed and, as a result, altitude, as it travels through the air. The rate at which the object loses speed and altitude depends on the amount of force that way applied to it when it was launched. It is also dependent on the size and shape of the item. This is why something like, say, a football is much faster to fall to the ground than a bullet.

In your own words describe the motion of convection currents?
Marysya12 [62]
Convection is the circular motion that occurs as hotter air or liquid increases when the cooler air or liquid drops down, and has faster moving molecules, rendering it less dense. Convection currents within the earth shift layers of magma, and currents are formed by convection in the ocean.

A 1.5m wire carries a 6 A current when a potential difference of 68 V is applied. What is the resistance of the wire?
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

11.3 \Omega

Explanation:

We can find the resistance of the wire by using Ohm's law:

V=RI

where

V is the voltage applied

R is the resistance

I is the current

In this problem, we know I = 6 A and V = 68 V, so we can re-arrange the equation to find the resistance of the wire:

R=\frac{V}{I}=\frac{68 V}{6 A}=11.3 \Omega

How is temperature related to the physical change of a<br>substance​
blagie [28]

Answer:

~~Now, you have left your question very open ended and didn't ask for any particular kind of answer so I'll do my best to get what you're looking for.~~

A physical change in a substance doesn't change what the substance is. It can possibly melt or freeze an object. I mean heat makes things expand while cooling makes them retract.... In chemical change where there is a chemical reaction, a new substance is formed and energy is either given off or absorbed.
