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

1 answer:

7 0

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.

A 10.0 kg weather rocket generates a thrust of 230 NN . The rocket, pointing upward, is clamped to the top of a vertical spring.

blondinia [14]

Answer: 0.2m

Explanation: Firstly only the Rocket's Weight Compress the spring which can be found by

$F_r=M_r*g\\F_r=10*9.81\\F_r=98.1N$

According to Hooks Law

$F_r=k*x\\x=F_r/k\\x=98.1/480\\x=0.2m$

The part b and c of this question is done in the attachment

If the fundamental frequency of a musical instrument is 42Hz, what is the frequency of the second harmonic?

timurjin [86]

For the majority of instruments f = n f0 where f is the resonating frequency, n is any whole number and f0 is the fundamental.
This applies to trumpets, violins, flutes and a broad range. 
In such a case the first harmonic would be at n=1 and the second harmonic would be at n=2 

which gives a frequency of 84 Hz

The GPE of a 70kg person standing on a chair 1m off the ground is how many joules?

Artemon [7]

GPE I am assuming is gravitational potential energy. I'll denote it as U for simplicity.

U = mgy
U = (70kg)(9.81m/s^2)(1m) = 686.7J

U = 686.7J

Hope this helps!

group of students is making model cars that will be propelled by model rocket engines. These engines provide a nearly constant t

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

increase.

Explanation:

According to the newton’s second law of motion force is expressed as product of mass and acceleration.

F = m a

If the force acting is constant, then.

m∝ $\frac{1}{a}$

That is if the mass of object increases the acceleration decreases and vice versa. The above equation is used when the force acting on the body is constant.

As the thrust force from the rocket engine is constant throughout there will be a variation in the mass or acceleration.

Thus, it won't stay the same.

As the weight of the car is maximum at the start because of the fuel present in the rocket engine and minimum at the end as the fuel burns throughout the journey of the car. Weight will be minimum at the end and hence acceleration is maximum at the end.

Thus, it won't decrease.

As the acceleration is going from minimum at the start to maximum at the end, therefore it is continuously increases throughout its journey.

Thus, it will increase.

Write a short note on escape velocity.

andrezito [222]

Answer:

physics, escape velocity is the minimum speed needed for an object to escape from the gravitational influence of a massive body. The escape velocity from Earth is about 11.186 km/s (6.951 mi/s; 40,270 km/h; 25,020 mph)[1] at the surface. ... [2] Speeds higher than escape velocity have a positive speed at infinity.
