How can soil erosion and rock slides be reduced near hills and farmland regions?

1 answer:

6 0

I know from experience that if you put plants in the hill,trees, bushes, flowers and whatnot. Most erosion and landslides are caused by water that has soaked through the soil causing it to become soft. But the plants soak up the water through the roots, making it harder to flood (Which means the ground has soaked up to much water so it floods)

A sports car is advertised to be able to stop in a distance of 50.0 m from a speed of 80 km. What is its acceleration and how ma

Flauer [41]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the sports car, u = 80 km/h = 22.22 m/s

Final speed of the runner, v = 0

Distance covered by the sports car, d = 80 km = 80000 m

Let a is the acceleration of the sports car. It can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

$v^2-u^2=2ad$

$a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2d}$

$a=\dfrac{0-(22.22)^2}{2\times 80000}$

$a=-0.00308\ m/s^2$

Value of g, $g=9.8\ m/s^2$

$a=\dfrac{-0.00308}{9.8}\ m/s^2$

$a=(-0.000314)\ g\ m/s^2$

Hence, this is required solution.

how long does it take adrian to reach his destination if his displacement is 253 meters and he walks north with a velocity of 1.

klemol [59]

Velocity = displacement/time

1.6 = 253/t

t = 158.125

It takes them about 158 seconds

A small metal object is tied to the end of a string and whirled round a circular path of radius 30cm. The object makes 20 oscill

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

(i) The angular speed of the small metal object is 25.133 rad/s

(ii) The linear speed of the small metal object is 7.54 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circular path, r = 30 cm = 0.3 m

number of revolutions, n = 20

time of motion, t = 5 s

(i) The angular speed of the small metal object is calculated as;

$\omega = \frac{20 \ rev}{5 \ s} \times \frac{2 \pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} = \frac{40\pi \ rad}{5 \ s} = 8\pi \ rad/s = 25.133 \ rad/s$

(ii) The linear speed of the small metal object is calculated as;

$v = \omega r\\\\v = 25.133 \ rad/s \ \times \ 0.3 \ m\\\\v = 7.54 \ m/s$

What are the two opposing forces at work as fusion takes place in stars?

____ [38]

Answer;

1. strong nuclear force

2. electromagnetic force/ electric force

Explanation;

The more protons an element has, the harder it is to bring nuclei together. It takes more energy to trigger fusion in iron and other heavy elements. Lighter elements, such as helium and hydrogen, require less energy to bring about fusion. The sun, for instance, spends most of its life converting hydrogen into helium.

-The strong nuclear force depends on; a more massive the object is the more attractive the force produced and also as distance between objects increases, attractive force decreases at a faster rate.
