Chapter , Problem 70

(choose chapter or problem)

In the Blackhawk landslide in California, a mass of rock and mud fell 460 m down a mountain and then traveled 8.00 km across a level plain. It has been theorized that the rock and mud moved on a cushion of water vapor. Assume that the mass dropped with the free-fall acceleration and then slid horizontally, losing speed at a constant rate. (a) How long did the mud take to drop the 460 m? (b) How fast was it traveling when it reached the bottom? (c) How long did the mud take to slide the 8.00 km horizontally? SSM
