Read the passage. the dust bowl during the 1930s, extreme drought and high winds made life incredibly difficult in the great plains region of the united states. in many areas, rainfall was forty percent less than normal. the soil became extremely dry, and when strong winds blew, they created tremendous dust storms. these so-called “black blizzards” were so thick that they made daylight seem like dusk. during this terrible period, the great plains region of the united states was named the “dust bowl.” over the next few years, the drought continued, and the winds created more dust storms. in some places, the drought and high winds lasted for eight years. many people wondered if the black blizzards would ever end. which statement about this paragraph’s main idea is true?

Explanation:

Dust Bowl was a sandstorm phenomenon that occurred in the United States in the 1930s and lasted almost ten years. It was an economic and environmental disaster that severely affected much of the United States of America.

It occurred in three events (1934, 1936 and 1939-1940), but some of the regions of the High Plains experienced drought conditions for almost eight years. The dust bowl effect was caused by years of inadequate soil management practices. This became susceptible to wind forces, which caused a drought induced by the high level of soil particles suspended in the air. The soil, stripped of moisture, was raised by wind in great clouds of dust and sand so thick that they hid the sun for several days. These days were referred to as "black breezes" or "black wind."

the boy's acceleration toward the girl is 2.08 m/s^2.

explanation:

according the newton's third law, the force causing the girl accelerate towards the boy will be me with equal counter-force causing the boy to accelerate towards the girl. these forces will be of equal magnitude and allows us to determine the boy's acceleration:

the boy's acceleration toward the girl is 2.08 m/s^2.
