What wouid happen to mass and weight of a body if the force of gravity disappear suddenly?
Thr body's mass would not change, but its weight would suddenly disappear.
What does the slope of mass vs weight graph represent?
The slop of a line which represents mass over volume would give you density.
Does water at the top of a slope has potential energy?
Obviously - it has mass, and it is not at ground level.
What are the things that affect the motion of an object?
Velocity, mass, forces, acceleration, slope, etc.
How can an object with a large mass have the same acceleration as a an object with an small mass?
The large mass can have proportionately more force applied to it than to the smaller mass.
What is the mass movement that occurs when sediment suddenly slips downhill in one large mass?
Slump
A mass movement called what occurs when sediment suddenly slips downhill in one large mass?
I think is a slump.
Is a mass movement called a gravity occurs when sediment suddenly slips downhill in one large mass?
Slump.
A mass movement called occurs when sediment suddenly slips downhill in one large mass.?
this is recognized as a avalanche :)
What is a large mass of water covered in ice and snow that moves slowly down a slope?
a glacier
The movement of a large mass of sediment or a section of land down a slope called?
mud flow!
How are landslides and an avalanche different and alike?
They are alike because they are both on mountains or cliffs and are coming down in a very large amount and a forceful motion. they are different because an avalanche is a large mass of snow, ice, etc., detached from a mountain slope and sliding or falling suddenly downward while a landslide is the sliding of a large mass of rock material, soil, etc, down the side of a mountain or cliff.
When a mass of rock and soil suddenly slips down a slop what is that?
Usually erosion. Erosion is when rocks and soil crack and break off due to high amounts of pressure from water. Also can be called a mudslide.
How are slope of the line and density of the material related?
Density is the slope of the line. density = mass/volume = constant. Since mass and volume have a linear relationship, then that constant is also the slope of the line on a graph of a comparison of mass to volume ratios.
What is the number of forces acting on an object sliding down an incline?
two, one is the resultant weight on the slope and = cosine (slope angle) * mass two is the force on the object and acts parralel to the the slope and = sin (slope angle) * mass
What is the causes of mass wasting?
Slope Gradient
What are four kinds of mass movement?
The four types of mass movements are: Rock Falls-a rock fall happens when loose rocks fall down a steep slope Landslides-the sudden movement of rocks and soil down a slope Mudflows-the flow of a mass of mud or rock and soil mixed with a large amount of water Creep-the slow downhill movement of weathered rock material
