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

What's the basic unit of the measurement of power
Jobisdone [24]

Power is the RATE at which energy changes or flows.

The unit of energy is the Joule, so a unit of power is the Joule/second.

That unit has the special name "<em>Watt</em>".

Your question is not necessarily a question. It's also a statement, You could write

"<em>Watt's the basic unit of the measurement of power</em>".

The time required to produce one cycle of a wave is known as the waves
eimsori [14]
The time described above is known as the waves Period.
The time which it takes for a particle to complete one full cycle is known as the period. Period is normally measured in seconds. Frequency on the other hand is the number of cycles which are completed in a given period of time e.g a second. periodic time T is given by reciprocal of frequency (1/f).

I drop an egg from a certain distance and it takes the egg 3.74 seconds to reach the ground. How high up was the egg?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

<em>B. 68.6m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Free Fall Motion </u>

When a body is left to move in the air with no friction, the motion is ruled only by the force of gravity. The vertical distance a body travels in the air after a time t is .

\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}

We know the egg takes 3.74 seconds to reach the ground. The height it was launched from is

\displaystyle y=\frac{(9.8)(3.474)^2}{2}

\displaystyle y=68.54\ m

The closest correct option is

B. 68.6m
