Answer:

FLASH FLOODS CAN CAUSE VEHICLES TO FLOAT AND FILL WITH WATER, TRAPPING AND DROWNING PEOPLE. WHILE ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT AND IN DEEP WATER, EVEN ____ INCHES OF WATER CAN FLOAT SOME SMALL CARS.

The Answer is SIX Inches.

Explanation:

Flash floods: are short-term events and are associated with short, high-intensity rainfall which occur when creeks that are normally dry fill up and other creeks overflow. Densely populated areas have a high risk of flash floods. Water levels in flash floods can rise one foot in five minutes making Six inches of water able to reach the bottom of most passenger cars. Moving water will exert pressure on a car. The car floats downstream when stream force exceeds the friction force, the car will be carried when bouyancy force (which is the upward force exerted by any fluid upon a body placed in it) is greater than vehicle weight.

An 80-g particle moving with an initial speed of 50 m/s in the positive x direction strikes and sticks to a 60-g particle moving
liubo4ka [24]

The collision is a form of inelastic collision because the it forms a single mass after is collides. So it can be solve by momentum balance

( 0.08 kg * 50 m/s ) + ( 0.06 kg * 50 m/s) = ( 0.08 + 0.06 kg ) v

V = 50 m/s

So the kinetic energy lost is

KE = 0.5 (50 m/s)^2) *( 0.14 – 0.08kg )

KE = 75 J

You are pulling your little sister on her sled across an icy (frictionless) surface. When you exert a constant horizontal force
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Mass of Little Sister = 44.17 kg

Explanation:

From Newton's second law of motion, the magnitude of force applied on the sled is given by the following formula:

F = ma

where,

F = Force Applied = 120 N

a = Acceleration = 2.3 m/s²

m = Mass of Sled + Mass of Little Sister = 8 kg + Mass of Little Sister

Therefore,

120 N = (2.3 m/s²)(8 kg + Mass of Little Sister)

(120 N)/(2.3 m/s²) = 8 kg + Mass of Little Sister

Mass of Little Sister = 52.17 kg - 8 kg

<u>Mass of Little Sister = 44.17 kg</u>

Fill in the blanks to complete each statement about weathering. Weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles call
nevsk [136]

Answer:

sediments

Explanation:

Weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles called:

                 sediments

Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decay of rocks into smaller fragments to produce sediments. The product of rock weathering is basically sediments. Some of the sediments can be transformed to form soils when they combine with organic matter, water and air.

Physical weathering is when rocks are physically broken into smaller pieces, but the minerals in  the rock remain the same.

             Physical weathering

Physical weathering is the disintegration of rocks into smaller bits without altering the chemical make up of the minerals. The goal of physical weathering is to expose rock surface to action of chemical weathering.

When a rock is broken down in a way that changes the mineral composition, it is called  chemical weathering

          chemical weathering

Chemical weathering is the decay of rocks by altering the minerals in a rock.

Hope this Helps! c:

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

884Hz

Explanation:

Beats is the absolute difference between two frequencies therefore

Beats = f1-f2

4=f1-880

F1=880+4
