One of the great dangers to mountain climbers is an avalanche, in which a large mass of snow and ice breaks loose and goes on an essentially frictionless "ride" down a mountainside on a cushion of compressed air. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . avalanche µ = 0 347 m 27.5 ◦ If you were on a 27.5 ◦ slope and an avalanche started 347 m up the slope, how much time would you have to get out of the way?

These models show the electron structures of two different nonmetal elements. which element is likely more reactive, and why? element 1 is more reactive because it has fewer electron shells and is toward the top of its group on the periodic table. element 1 is more reactive because it has more electrons in its valence shell and is farther to the right on the periodic table. element 2 is more reactive because it does not have a valence shell close to the nucleus, so it will attract electrons. element 2 is more reactive because it does not have a full valence shell, so it will attract electrons.

Which of these statements is true? a. quarks pair with leptons to form protons and neutrons. b. quarks pair with bosons to form photons. c. quarks pair with photons to form protons and neutrons. d. quarks pair with other quarks to form protons and neutrons. e. quarks pair with electrons to form protons.

Road users moving into your lane, brake lights, and abrupt changes in road surface are a. rare at night b. indicators of potential hazards c. not worth worrying about before you reach them d. no problem for experienced drivers
