Answer:

The statement is false.

Explanation:

The downward movement of rock and boulders due to the force of gravity is known as mass movement.
Mass movement takes place continuously and is seen to occur in all slopes, some take place slowly and cause no damage while some are disastrous.
The best way to reduce the number of disasters related to mass movement is by educating the people about these and how to protect themselves, not by relocating.

Contrast balanced and unbalanced forces.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Balanced forces do not cause a change in motion. When balanced forces act on an object at rest, the object will not move. If you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with an equal but opposite force. ... Forces that cause a change in the motion of an object are unbalanced forces.

Can someone please help me ASAP

Answer:

distance = 6.1022 x10^16[m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the formula of the average speed which relates distance to time, so we have

v = distance / time

where:

v = velocity = 3 x 10^8 [m/s]

distance = x [meters]

time = 6.45 [light years]

Now we have to convert from light-years to seconds in order to get the distance in meters.

$t = 6.45 [light-years]*365[\frac{days}{1light-year}]*24[\frac{hr}{1day}] *60[\frac{min}{1hr}]*60[\frac{seg}{1min} ] =203407200 [s]$

Now using the formula:

distance = v * time

distance = (3*10^8)*203407200

distance = 6.1022 x10^16[m]

a kid is on a skate board going 14kph and trows a set of keys on the ground at 8kph. the spped of the keys relitive to the gound

Vanyuwa [196]

To determine the speed relative to the ground, since the ground is our reference frame, it would be v = 0, for the kid on the skateboard, you would need to take into account the speed that he/she is going and the speed of the keys thrown at.

I believe.
