Answer:

A. A volcano erupts on a small island.

C. Flooding loosens dirt and rocks along a hillside.

Explanation:

Tectonic activities and mass wasting will greatly lead to a change in land forms on earth's surface.

When a volcano erupts on a small island, a change in landform often results. Also, flooding can lead to changes in land form.

Volcanic eruptions generally adds new materials to the earth surface.
Magma that reaches the surface called lava deposits rock materials unto the surface.
During an extensive period of flooding, materials are carried from one place to another and this greatly sculpts the surface of the earth.

Which of the following atoms is least likely to form chemical bonds with other atoms

wariber [46]

The atom that would least likely form chemical bonds with other atoms would be C. A neon containing 4 valence electrons, this is because neon itself is an inert gas, it would not necessarily react as it already possess the maximum number of electrons needed to achieve stability and have a full octet, even if it is forced to obtain 4 valence electrons it would not react with other atoms.

Lions can run at speeds up to approximately 80.0 km / h. A hungry 109 kg lion running northward at top speed attacks and holds o

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

17.34 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of lion (m₁) = 109 kg

Initial speed of lion (v₁) = 80.0 km/h (Northward direction)

Mass of gazelle (m₂) = 39.0 kg

Initial speed of gazelle (v₂) = 78.5 km/h (Eastward direction)

Final velocity of both lion and gazelle is, $v_f=?$

First, let us convert the speeds from km/h to m/s using the conversion factor.

We know that, 1 km/h = 5/18 m/s

Therefore,

$v_1= 80.0\ km/h=80\times \frac{5}{18}=22.22\ m/s\\\\v_2=78.5\ km/h=78.5\times \frac{5}{18}=21.81\ m/s$

Now, the concept of conservation of total momentum is used here as this is a case of perfectly inelastic collision. In inelastic collision, the masses move together with same velocity after collision.

Here, as the lion and gazelle are moving in directions at right angles to each other, the vector sum of their momentums will give the net initial momentum of the system.

So, initial momentum is given as:

$P_i=\sqrt{P_1^2+P_2^2}\\\\Where,\\\\P_1\to initial\ momentum\ of\ lion\\P_2\to initial\ momentum\ of\ gazelle$
