Q1. Geologists investigating a landslide surveyed the elevation of a hillside and found it to be 872 m at the bottom and 991 m at the top. The survey points were horizontally separated by 465 m. How steep is this hillside as a percent grade if 45 degrees is a 100 percent grade?

percent grade = ........... %

 

Q2.

Enter your answer in scientific notation.

 

The discharge (Q) of a stream is the velocity (v) times the cross-sectional area (A): Q = vA. What is the discharge of a stream with a velocity of 2.1 m/s and a cross-sectional area of 54.2 m2?

Q = ........ × 102 m^3/s
