Answer:
Gravitational pull
Explanation:
There are four fundamental forces in nature:
- Gravitational force: it is an attractive force exerted between all objects having mass. Its magnitude is proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.
- Electromagnetic force: it is the force exerted between electrically charged object. It can be either attractive ore repulsive. Its magnitude is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.
- Strong nuclear force: it is the force responsible for holding protons and neutrons together in the nuclei of the atoms. It is attractive and acts only on a very short scale.
- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for certain nuclear decay processes (radioactivity).
In this problem, landslides occur when certain masses of terrain are attracted towards the ground - they are attracted because of the gravitational force.
So, the correct answer is
gravitational pull
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
Mechanical advantage
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- Mechanical advantage is the ratio of force output from a machine divided by the force input into the machine.
- Mechanical advantage measures the machine's force-magnifying effect. It is an advantage gained by using simple machines to accomplish work with less effort.
- The formula is; M.A = output force/ Input force
<span>Answer:
sin(incidence)/sin(refraction) = n_refraction/n_incidence
sin(50) / sin(x) = 1.5 / 1
sin(50)/1.5 = sin(x)
sin(x) = 0.511
x = 30.71o
B]
50 degrees, same as the angle going in.
You can show that by reversing the steps in A.
sin(30.7)/sin(x) = 1/1.5
C]
The glass is 5 cm thick.
The reference angle = 30.7o
Tan(30.7) = displacement / thickness
Tan(30.7) = x / 5
5*sin(30.7) = x
x = 2.97 cm which is the displacement.</span>
