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

State a true conclusion.

Ganezh [65]

The conclusion is; Cathy's dad has gone fishing.

<h3>What are conclusions in conditional statements?</h3>

A conditional statement is a statement with a hypothesis which is then followed by a conclusion.

A conditional statement has two parts; "if" and "then"

The hypothesis is “if,” part of a conditional statement.

The conclusion is the “then,” part of a conditional statement.

Considering the given conditional statements:

1. If it's Saturday, then Cathy's dad goes fishing.

2. If it's Saturday, then Cathy's dad goes fishing.

Since the if part is true, the conclusion will be, Cathy's dad has gone fishing.

In conclusion, a conditional statement consists of a hypothesis and a conclusion.

A Jeep accelerated at 2.2 m/s2 until after 18 seconds its displacement was 660 meters. Assuming the Jeep traveled in a straight

pogonyaev

Ok so we know:
The time (t) is 18seconds
The acceleration (a) is 2.2m/s2
The displacement (r) is 660

Using the equation
$r = ut + \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}$
With 'u' being the initial velocity we want, we get:
$660 = 18u + 356.4$
So:
$18u = 303.6$
So:
$u = 16.8666$
So the original/initial velocity was 16.8666 or 16.87 m/s

Hope this helped

A very small object carrying -7 μC of charge is attracted to a large, well-anchored, positively charged object. How much kinetic

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

ΔK.E = 14 nJ

Explanation:

Solution:

- The charge that moves under the influence of an Electric Field produced between a potential difference (V) stores electric potential energy U within that is converted to kinetic energy.

- We will use conservation of energy on the system that contains the charged particle with charge q loses its electric potential energy U as it moves towards positively charged object that converts into a gain in Kinetic energy of the charged particle ΔK.E:

ΔK.E = U

Where,

U = V*q

ΔK.E = V*q

ΔK.E = (7*10^-6)*(2*10^-3)

ΔK.E = 14 nJ

- The gain in kinetic energy is 14 nJ.
