  • Inorganic i.e. not made by any organism.
  • Minerals are solids, not liquid or gas.
  • They have a definite chemical structure.
  • The atoms in minerals are arranged systematically and are arranged in a repeated pattern.

Minerals are natural and we use it in our day to day life. Products like salt and even a pencil have minerals. Also, these minerals help the parts in the human body to grow faster and function properly.

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Occurrence of mud slides after heavy rains.

Explanation:

Soil erosion is defined as the removal of top soil from the land and it affects the fertility of the soil. It is also known as soil degradation.

Soil erosion has both short-term and long-term damage. Short-term damage of erosion includes the occurrence of mudslides after heavy rains which is called landslide.

A plane is traveling at 80 m/s. To prepare for landing, it decreases its speed to 50 m/s in 120 s.
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

The deceleration of the plane is 0.25 m/s^{2}.

Explanation:

Deceleration is the converse of acceleration.

From first law of motion, we have;

v = u + at

where: v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

Thus,

v = 50 m/s

u = 80 m/s

t = 120 s

50 = 80 + 120a

50 - 80 = 120a

-30 = 120a

a = \frac{-30}{120}

  = -0.25

a = -0.25 m/s^{2}

The deceleration of the plane is 0.25 m/s^{2}.
