Answer:

The correct answer is D. Creep.

Explanation:

Ground creep is a slow downward movement of a hill or mountain slope without the formation of demolition forms. The decisive factor for this is the continuous flow of movement of the soil.

The main driver of collapse is the movement of the surface layer particles during expansion in a direction perpendicular to the slope, followed by vertical collapse on contraction. The visible effect of the collapsing is the inclination of fences and poles, as well as trees that grow out of the ground towards the slope and have trunks curved vertically, in more extreme cases it may be cracks on the walls of buildings.

wel

Answer:

very small solid particles called interstellar dust.

Explanation:

In the space between the stars there is gas and dust, which represent at least 20% of the mass of our galaxy. In the Milky Way it is considered that there is a gas density of approximately 0.2 to 0.5 atoms / cm3 in the surroundings of the Sun; with respect to the dust an average of 1 g / cm3 is estimated.

Gas is about atoms and molecules, mainly hydrogen; In order of abundance, helium, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and iron follow. On the other hand, the dust is tiny particles, generally smaller than 10 microns; the dust does not shine and therefore it is only distinguished when it is projected on bright regions (nebulae or clusters).

Interstellar matter is mainly concentrated towards the plane of the galaxy, in the strip corresponding to the Milky Way; there you can see bright nebulas of diffuse character called nebulas. These nebulae are classified according to three types: (a) bright or emission nebulae, (b) reflection nebulae and (c) planetary nebulae.

Hydrogen appears both ionized and neutral; The bright nebulae are composed of ionized hydrogen and other ionized elements. Non-ionized (neutral) hydrogen is found in the spiral arms of the Milky Way and can be detected through radio waves.

Which describes what an outside observer at rest would observe about a spaceship that speeds up and approaches the speed of ligh
Art [367]
The outside observer, at rest relative to the spaceship, would see the spaceship
get shorter. and the clocks on the spaceship run slower than they should.

At the same time, the crew of the spaceship, looking back at the observer on
Earth, would see the observer on Earth get shorter, and the observer's clock
run slower than it should.

They would both be measuring what they see correctly.

A coin is placed on a large disk which rotates uniformly at a rate of 1 rot/s. The coefficient of friction between the coin and
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

r = 0.02 m

Explanation:

from the question we have :

speed = 1 rps = 1x 60 = 60 rpm

coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.1

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

maximum distance without falling off (r) = ?

to get how far from the center of the disk the coin can be placed without having to slip off we equate the formula for the centrifugal force with the frictional force on the turntable force

mv^2 / r =  m x g x μ

v^2 / r =  g x μ  .......equation 1

where

velocity (v) = angular speed (rads/seconds) x radius

angular speed (rads/seconds) = (\frac{2π}{60} ) x rpm

angular speed (rads/seconds) = (\frac{2 x π}{60} ) x 60 = 6.28 rads/ seconds

now

velocity = 6.28 x r = 6.28 r

now substituting the value of velocity into equation 1

v^2 / r =  g x μ

(6.28r)^2 / r = 9.8 x 0.1

39.5 x r = 0.98

r = 0.02 m
