Answer:

ICE SHOVE

Explanation:

An Ice Shove is a situation or phenomenon that occurs when the wind carries or pushes melting ice from frozen lakes down to the lake shore.

Agents involved in the pushing of melting ice down to the lake shore includes: currents in the ocean, very strong winds as well as variations and fluctuations in the temperature of the lake.

Ice shoves can result in a pile up and accumulation of ice on the lake shore to be at about 30-40 feet high.

Ice shoves can result in negative effects in the lives of living organisms. Such negative effects includes:

a. Damages to the shoreline of the lakes

b. Damages to the habitats of any living organisms by the lake.

c. Damages to structures (buildings) that can be found at the lake shore.

Answer:

The two word term is "ICE SHOVES"

Explanation:

An ice shove also known as ice surge, ice heave, ivu, or shoreline ice pileup is simply a surge of ice which occurs from an ocean or large lake and drops on the shore. These ice shoves are usually caused by ocean currents, strong winds, or temperature differences which tend to push the ice to the shore. The ice shoves can create ice piles up to 12 metres high and more.

Ice shoves has been recorded in at least three lakes in the past years. They are Lake Dauphin (Manitoba, Canada), Mille Lacs Lake (Minnesota), Lake Winnebago (Wisconsin), etc.

A 1.0-kg ball of putty is released from rest and falls vertically 1.5 m until it strikes a hard floor, where it comes to rest in
topjm [15]
<span>We first calculate the velocity of the ball when it hits the ground; this is equal to the square root of the quantity (2*g*d) where g is the acceleration of gravity (9.8 m/s^2) and d is the distance fallen, 1.5m.

    So, we get a velocity of sqrt(2*9.8*1.5) = 5.42 m/s.

   We can calculate the impulse force applied to the putty ball by using Newton's second law, which states that the applied force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration, where acceleration can be further decomposed as the change in velocity divided by the change in time. Thus, inputting the known values, we have:

    F = ma = m(dv/dt) = 1.0*5.42/0.045 = 120.4 newtons.</span>

An unknown substance has a mass of 670 kg and a volume of 782 m^3. Will it float in water? (Water has a density of 1,000 kg/m^3.
matrenka [14]

Answer:

It will float

Explanation:

its density is lower than density of water

Its density is 670 / 782 = 0.856 kg/m³

“You can’t get more energy from a machine than the amount of energy you put into it,” is one way of stating the law of conservat
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Energy

Explanation:

One ways of stating the law of conservation of energy is that "you cannot get more energy from a machine than the amount of energy you put into it".

The law of conservation of energy states that in a system, energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another.

The energy in a system does not increase based on the premise of this law.

  • The efficiency of a machine can reduce but the energy is always conserved.
  • This is because energy is transformed to other forms.

22. State any three features of the electroscope.​
MatroZZZ [7]
-1- was created in the 1600 by william gilbert
-2-When the charge is positive, electrons in the metal of the electroscope are attracted to the charge and move upward out of the leaves. This results in the leaves to have a temporary positive charge and because like charges repel, the leaves separate. When the charge is removed, the electrons return to their original positions and the leaves relax
3-

An electroscope is made up of a metal detector knob on top which is connected to a pair of metal leaves hanging from the bottom of the connecting rod. When no charge is present the metals leaves hang loosely downward. But, when an object with a charge is brought near an electroscope, one of the two things can happen.
