Answer: D. glacial striations

Explanation:

Glaciers striations are the features formed over the bedrock due to glacier erosion. This occurs due to glacier abrasion that happens during glacier erosion or retreating glacier. This results in the formation of striations into multiple straight parallel lines and scrape marks over the bedrock or ground. These striations appear as grooves.

Answer:

D. Glacial striations

Explanation:

Glacial striations are marks and grooves carved on a rock surface as the materials carried by it abraded the surfaces of the earth.

The sun emits __________ radiation, but it is radiated back off of planetary bodies as __________ radiation.

andriy [413]

The answer to your question: The sun emits shortwave radiation, but it is radiated back off of planetary bodies as longwave radiation. 

Explanation: The sun emits shortwave radiation, wherein it’s extremely hot and is filled with more energy compared to the radiation emitted by planets. This also comes in the form of light. However, once this becomes absorbed by planetary bodies, it turns into longwave radiation. A good example is the earth’s atmosphere emitting energy (longwave radiation), which is energy originally coming from the sun (shortwave radiation).

An object is thrown with a horizontal velocity of 20 m/s from a cliff that is 125 m above level ground. If air resistance is neg

Serjik [45]

Given that,

Horizontal velocity of the object, v = 20 m/s

Height of the cliff, h = 125 m

We need to find the time that it takes the object to fall to the ground from the cliff is most nearly. It can be calculated using second equation of motion. Let us consider that the initial speed of the object is 0. So,

$h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

Here, a = g and u = 0

$h=\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}} \\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 125}{10}} \\\\t=5\ s$

So, the object will take 5 seconds to fall to the ground from the cliff.
