Explain how an alpine glacier can change the topography of a mountainous area

igor_vitrenko [27]

<span>An alpine glacier can change the topography of a mountainous area through Glacial Erosion and Glacial Deposition. Glaciers are agents of erosion, it can pick up and carry large rocks and sediments. In the process, a deep cavity or hole can form when the glacier plucks a big rock from where it passed. Glaciers have shaped many Mountain Ranges and have created distinct landforms by its erosion process. In Glacial Deposition, as glaciers melt, it deposits all that it carried and a landform is developed.</span>

When are you most aware of your motion in a moving vehicle: when it is moving steadily in a straight line or when it is accelera

Ghella [55]

Answer:

Acceleration is percieved, not constant velocity.

Explanation:

You are most aware when the vehicle is accelerating. At constant velocity you would not be aware of the motion. Only if the system is accelerated the dynamics must be solved considering a pseudo-force (of inertial origin) acting.

It's because of this that:

(A) False. The acceleration can be detected from the inside of a closed car.

(B) False. You would be aware of the motion, but not because humans can sense speed but acceleration.

(C) False. Constant velocity cannot be felt in a closed car.

(D) False. Again, you can't feel constant speed.

A motorboat maintained a constant speed of 15 miles per hour relative to the water in going 10 miles upstream and then returning

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

speed of current is 5 mile/hr

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

speed of motorboat = 15 miles/hr relative with water

let c is speed of current

15-c is speed of boat at upstream

15+c is speed of boat at downstream

we know that

travel time=distance/speed

$\frac{10}{15-c} +\frac{10}{15+c} = 1.5$

150+10c+150-10c=1.5(15-c)(15+c)

300=1.5(225-c^2)

300=337.5-1.5c^2

200=225-c^2

c^2=25

c = 5

so speed of current is 5 mile/hr

You may have noticed runaway truck lanes while driving in the mountains. These gravel-filled lanes are designed to stop trucks t

kati45 [8]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu_k = 0.724$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the lane is $l = 36.0 \ m$

The speed of the truck is $v = 22.6\ m/s$

Generally from the work-energy theorem we have that

$\Delta KE = N * \mu_k * l$

Here N is the normal force acting on the truck which is mathematically represented as

$\Delta KE$ is the change in kinetic energy which is mathematically represented as

$\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2} * m * v^2$

=> $\Delta KE = 0.5 * m * 22.6^2$

=> $\Delta KE = 255.38m$

$255.38m = m * 9.8 * \mu_k * 36.0$

=> $255.38 = 352.8 * \mu_k$

=> $\mu_k = 0.724$

The forces on a car are balanced.state and explain the resultant force on the car

Vanyuwa [196]

there will no resultant force

Explanation:

this is because if the forces are balanced on opposite direction. then they cancel each other out

5 newton's ---------> <--------- 5 newton's

then both forces will cancel each other out as a result there is no resultant force and the newton's laws states that if there is no resultant the object will continue in its state of rest (remains there) or it will in continue in its uniform motion in a straight line.

I hope you understand,
