What does avalanche?
a mass of snow, ice, and rocks falling rapidly down a mountain side
What term describes a mass of snow and ice falling down a mountain?
It's an avalanche.
What is the weight of a falling object that has a mass of 16 kg?
0 because while the mass remains at 16 Kg, as the object is falling its weight (caused by the pull of gravity on its mass) becomes 0 as its acceleration equals that of the acceleration due to gravity. (This is why things seem weightless when in orbit round the Earth - they are actually falling).
What should be avoided during volcanic eruption?
Falling debris of mass destruction!
What was Galileo's hypothesis in the falling objects?
The rate at which an object falls, is independent of its mass.

What does 'avalanches' mean?

What word refers to the amount of matter in an object?
Mass refers to the amount of mass in an object.
Does an object that is freely falling have mass?
Yes, mass is an intrinsic property of matter. However a freely falling object will experience no weight.
What does Christmas mean when it's broken down?
It comes from Christ Mass. A Mass is a Roman Catholic service. Christ refers to Jesus Christ. So, the Mass celebrating the birth of Christ was called the Christ Mass, shortened to Christmas.
Why does an apple falls down from a tree why dont goes up?
The acceleration of a freely falling body is dependended upon the mass of the two bodies involved, a mass of the apple is nothing, when compared to mass of the earth, so it tends to move downward towards earth.
What is the reason why comets fell down?
"Down" is the direction of the greatest mass, which, in the Solar System, is the Sun. The reason ALL comets haven't fallen into the Sun is that there also have angular momentum, which results in them falling AROUND the Sun.
Is there a relationship between the mass of an object and its speed while falling?
In the absence of air, no. In the presence of air, a very indirect relationship, not directly related to the mass or to the Physics of falling bodies.
Will not the stone attract the earth when it is falling?
Yes, definitely the stone will also attract the earth when it is either thrown up or is falling down. But the mass of the stone is very small as compared to that of the earth, and since the force is directly proportional to the mass of the object, the force with which the stone attracts the earth will be negligible as compared to the force with which the earth attracts the stone.
Meaning of mass wasting?
Mass wasting or mass movement refers to the movement of rock debris down a slope due to the influence of gravity. The movement is induced by natural factors or by human interferance on hill slope. The movement can be slow or fast.
The momentum of a falling leaf is and the momentum of a falling pincone is what?
momentum is equal to the mass of an object x velocity of an object
