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.

Ryan swings a pail of water in a vertical circle 1.0 m in radius at a constant speed. If the water is NOT to spill on him:
nexus9112 [7]

Part 1

If water does not spill at the top point of the circular motion then for the minimum speed condition we can say normal force will be zero at the top position

F_g = ma

mg = m\frac{v^2}{R}

g = \frac{v^2}{R}

v = \sqrt{Rg}

given that

R = 1 m

g = 9.8 m/s^2

now from above equation we have

v = \sqrt{1(9.8)} = 3.13 m/s

Part b)

for minimum value of angular speed we will have

\omega = \frac{v}{R}

\omega = \frac{3.13}{1}

\omega = 3.13 rad/s

A car is traveling at 120 km/h (75 mph). When applied the braking system can stop the car with a deceleration rate of 9.0 m/s2.
Bumek [7]

Answer:

the number of additional car lengths approximately it takes the sleepy driver to stop compared to the alert driver is 15

Explanation:

Given that;

speed of car V  = 120 km/h = 33.3333 m/s

Reaction time of an alert driver = 0.8 sec

Reaction time of an alert driver = 3 sec

extra time taken by sleepy driver over an alert driver = 3 - 0.8 = 2.2 sec

now, extra distance that car will travel in case of sleepy driver  will be'

S_d = V × 2.2 sec

S_d = 33.3333 m/s × 2.2 sec

S_d = 73.3333 m

hence, number of car of additional car length  n will be;

n = S_n / car length

n = 73.3333 m / 5m

n = 14.666 ≈ 15

Therefore, the number of additional car lengths approximately it takes the sleepy driver to stop compared to the alert driver is 15

Caleb is filling up water balloons for the Physics Olympics balloon tosscompetition. Caleb sets a 0.50-kg spherical water balloo
Mashcka [7]

a)

• P = F/A

P = pressure = 630 N/m^2

F = force

A = area

F = mg = 0.50 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 = 4.9 N

m= mass

g= gravity

P = F/A

A = F/P

A = 4.9 N / 630 N/m^2 = 7.778 x 10^-3 m^2

b)

• Area of a circle = pi* radius ^2

7.778 x 10^-3 m^2 = pi* radius ^2

√(7.778 x 10^-3 m^2 / pi ) = radius

radius = 0.04976 m

Answers:

a ) 7.778 x 10^-3 m^2

b) 0.04976 m

What is cosmic microwave background radiation?
chubhunter [2.5K]
Cosmic, or background, radiation is the small amount of high energy radiation which is mostly left over from the big bang or from supernovas. It is mostly single protons, but also alpha particles and even sometimes heavier elements. It can also refer to the low levels of electromagnetic radiation present all over the universe.
