Why would a landslide be more likely on a steep mountain than on a gently sloping hill?

If it is very steep and you throw a little rock down it will be more likely to make all the rocks fall easier than a gently sloped hill that if you throw the same size rock down it would move nothing but little rocks.

Steep mountain, due to gravity.

This mathematical model describes the changes that occur in a sample of

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

the correct answer is B

Explanation:

The kinetic model of the movement describes that the movement of the molecules increases with the increase of their internal energy, which in a macroscopic sample is reflected in an increase in the temperature of the sample.

The sample graph shows the function of temperature over time, which is why our kinetic model establishes that there is an increase in the movement of water molecules.

Consequently the correct answer is B

We wish to determine the electric field at a point near a positively charged metal sphere (a good conductor). We do so by bringi

quester [9]

Answer:

Less than.

Explanation:

We have the positive charged metal sphere and we have to determine the electric field at a point near to it. In order to find that if we bring the positive test charge at that point then as we know that "like charges repel" so their electric field lines will repel each other resulting in a weaker electric field.

However if we bring the negative test charge at that point then of course there will be attraction and also the the electric field lines will direct from the positive to negative resulting in a stronger electric field between them. So there will be larger electric field then before.

"In this case, It can be concluded that electric field will be less than it was at this point before the test charge was present."

Technician A states that a reading of 250 mv from the O2 indicates a rich exhaust. Technician B states that when the PCM receive

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Technician B is correct

Explanation:

An oxygen sensor will generate about 1.0 volts when the fuel mixture is rich and there is little unburned oxygen in the exhaust. When the mixture is lean, the sensor's output voltage will drop down to about 0.1 volts.

An o2 sensor cannot accurately measure how rich or how well an exhaust system is.

Therefore, Technician B is correct.

Two cars, a Porsche Boxster convertible and a Toyota Scion xB, are traveling at constant speeds in the same direction. Suppose,

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

It will take 29.31 seconds for the Boxster to catch the Scion

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

lets say Toyota Scion xB is car A and Porsche Boxster convertible is B and Toyota Scion xB is car A

the distance travelled by car A is

x = $V_{A}$ × t

where $V_{A}$ is the speed of the car and t is time

the distance travelled by car B before reaching car A will be;

x + x₀ = $V_{B}$ × t

Now lets replace x by $V_{A}$ × t

( $V_{A}$ × t) + x₀ = $V_{B}$ × t

x₀ = ( $V_{B}$ × t) - ( $V_{A}$ × t)

x₀ = t ( $V_{B}$ - $V_{A}$ )

t = x₀ / ( $V_{B}$ - $V_{A}$ )

so we substitute

t = 170 m / (24.4 - 18.6)

t = 170 / 5.8

t = 29.31 s

Therefore; it will take 29.31 s for the Boxster to catch the Scion
