Answer: soil creep

The mass movement or mass wasting is a natural process by which the soil particles, boulders and slopes moves down the hill or mountain.

Soil creep is the slow downhill progression of rock and soil. It is characterized by the slow deformation of the materials on the slope due to exertion of prolonged pressure and stress. It forms characteristic patterns such as wrinkles, terraces on the hill slides.

If you use a force of 90 N to pick up a 10 pound bag of charcoal, what is the acceleration?

hjlf

Answer:

9ms^2

Explanation:

since ,Force=mass*acceleration

then, acceleration=force/mass

and, Force=90N

Mass=10pound

therefore, acceleration=90/10

=9ms^2

car traveling on a flat (unbanked), circular track accelerates uniformly from rest with a tangential acceleration of a. The car

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

0.572

Explanation:

First examine the force of friction at the slipping point where Ff = µsFN = µsmg.

the mass of the car is unknown,

The only force on the car that is not completely in the vertical direction is friction, so let us consider the sums of forces in the tangential and centerward directions.

First the tangential direction

∑Ft =Fft =mat

And then in the centerward direction ∑Fc =Ffc =mac =mv²t/r

Going back to our constant acceleration equations we see that v²t = v²ti +2at∆x = 2at πr/2

So going backwards and plugging in Ffc =m2atπr/ 2r =πmat

Ff = √(F2ft +F2fc)= matp √(1+π²)

µs = Ff /mg = at /g √(1+π²)=

1.70m/s/2 9.80 m/s² x√(1+π²)= 0.572

What are some of the useful properties of current electricity?

Elena-2011 [213]

By definition we have to:

The electric current is the flow of electric charge due to the movement (usually of electrons) that a material travels.

Some properties are:

1) Electric conduction: The conductive materials have a large amount of free electrons, therefore, the passage of electricity is possible.

2) The current inside a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit. This is what is known as ohm's law:

$I =\frac{V}{R}$
