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.

Consider an RLC series circuit. The impedance of the circuit increases if XC increases. TRUE or FALSE

MaRussiya [10]

I don't think I want to go into a lot of detail here, but the answer is
"sometimes true and sometimes false". I believe it depends on the
original difference between XC and XL, before XC began to change.

A 2-kg object is initially at the bottom of a long 50° inclined plane, and is beginning to slide up this inclined plane. The ini

Over [174]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of object $m=2 kg$

inclination $\theta =50^{\circ}$

$\mu _k=0.3$

$\mu _s=0.4$

initial velocity $u=3 m/s$

acceleration of block during upward motion

$a=g\sin \theta -\mu _kg\cos \theta$

$a=g(\sin 50-0.3\cos 50)$

$a=5.617 m/s^2$

using relation

$v^2-u^2=2a\cdot s$

where $s=distance\ moved$

$v=final\ velocity$

v=0 because block stopped after moving distance s

$0-(3)^2=2\cdot (-5.617)\cdot s$

$s=\frac{4.5}{5.617}$

$s=0.801$

If block stopped after s m then force acting on block is

$F=mg\sin \theta =$ friction force $f_r=\mu mg\cos \theta$

$F>f_r$ therefore block will slide back down to the bottom

Ben climbs a tree to retrieve a lost football. If he does 2,400 J of work to climb 8 m, how much force is he using?

krok68 [10]

Work = Force * distance.
d = 8 m
W = 2400 J
F = ???

2400 = 8 * F
F = 2400/8
F = 300 N

If earth did not rotate how would air at the equator move?

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Heat rises, and it is warmer at the equator, so I think warm air would rise at the equator and move towards the cooler poles.

What should you do if a fire breaks out in the back of your boat?

valkas [14]

If a fire breaks out in the back of your boat you should put the back of the boat into the wind so that the fire will not spread easily. Then turn off the engine and paddle the boat to keep the boat into the wind. Also use a fire extinguisher to put the fire off.
