one of the great dangers to mountain climbers is an avalanche, inwhich a large mass of snow and ice breaks loose and goes on anessentially frictionless "ride" down a mountainside on a cushion ofcompressed air.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8m/s2. IF YOU WERE ON A 21.8degree slope and an avalanche started 489m up the slope, how muchtime would you have to get out of the way ?
