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

Identify the type of electrification of the road
Arte-miy333 [17]
Electrification is widely considered as a viable strategy for reducing the oil dependency and environmental impacts of road transportation. In pursuit of this strategy, most attention has been paid to electric cars. However, substantial, yet untapped, potentials could be realized in urban areas through the large-scale introduction of electric two-wheelers.

All of the following are physical proporties of chlorine EXCEPT it ___
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Option D

Reacts with sodium to form chloride

Explanation:

First, reaction between chlorine and sodium is a chemical reaction and not physical properties. Secondly, when chlorine reacts with sodium, it forms sodium chloride, NaCl NOT chloride as depicted by the statement. Otherwise, chlorine exists in the form of gas and is yellowish in color. Moreover, it's density is approximately 3.11 grams per liter. Therefore, the right answer is option D

How does the mass of an object affect the outcome when an unbalanced force acts on it?
Verdich [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of acceleration is reduced.

Explanation:

Force is defined as push or pull

The force is said to be<em> balance force  </em>if the force are equal in size but opposite in direction. ie the object does not move or move with constant speed.

The force are to be<em> unbalanced force </em>if the force cause change in motion. ie the object has force greater than zero and has acceleration.

According to <em>Newton second law of motion </em>, acceleration depends on force acting on the object and mass of object.

     F=ma

     a=\frac{F}{m}

When unbalanced force act on the mass of object it reduces magnitude of acceleration without changing the direction.

The length of a 100 mm bar of metal increases by 0.3 mm when subjected to a temperature rise of 100°C. The coefficient of linear
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

α = 3×10^-5 K^-1

Explanation:

let ΔL be the change in length of the bar of metal, ΔT be the change in temperature, L be the original length of the metal bar and let α be the coefficient of linear expansion.

then, the coefficient of linear expansion is given by:

α = ΔL/(ΔT×L)

   = (0.3×10^-3)/(100)(100×10^-3)

   = 3×10^-5 K^-1

Therefore, the coefficient of linear expansion is 3×10^-5 K^-1

What is the energy in joules of a mole of photons associated with red light of wavelength 7.00 × 102 nm?
konstantin123 [22]
<span>The energy of a single photon is given by E = hc/lambda, where h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light, and lambda is the wavelength. Plugging the values in gives E = 6.63E-34 x 3.00E8 / 700E-9 = 2.84E-19 Joules Now one mole of substance is equivalent to 6.02E23 particles, so one mole of these photons will be: 2.84E-19 x 6.02E23 = 1.71E5 Joules</span>
