Question
Chapter 28, Problem 19RQ
To determine
The land features that are formed from glacial deposits.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 19RQ
The land features formed from glacial deposits are moraine and drumlin.
Explanation of Solution
A glacier is capable of carrying huge amount of sediment and rock along with them. When a glacier moves, they deposit great quantities of trash in the path. Eventually, they deposit the debris and form various types of landforms, like moraine and drumlin.
Moraine is a ridge-shaped landform that is created due to the movement of the glacier. They are the marks of the glacier created as it moves, leaving a huge amount of debris and soil.
Drumlin is glacial sediment of elongated hill shape. It is formed by continental glaciation and is in the way of ice flow. They have a steep, blunt end in the upstream and a tapered gentle slope on the downstream side.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the land features formed from glacial deposits are moraine and drumlin.

- A planar double pendulum consists of two point masses \[m_1 = 1.00~\mathrm{kg}, \qquad m_2 = 1.00~\mathrm{kg}\]connected by massless, rigid rods of lengths \[L_1 = 1.00~\mathrm{m}, \qquad L_2 = 1.20~\mathrm{m}.\]The upper rod is hinged to a fixed pivot; gravity acts vertically downward with\[g = 9.81~\mathrm{m\,s^{-2}}.\]Define the generalized coordinates \(\theta_1,\theta_2\) as the angles each rod makes with thedownward vertical (positive anticlockwise, measured in radians unless stated otherwise).At \(t=0\) the system is released from rest with \[\theta_1(0)=120^{\circ}, \qquad\theta_2(0)=-10^{\circ}, \qquad\dot{\theta}_1(0)=\dot{\theta}_2(0)=0 .\]Using the exact nonlinear equations of motion (no small-angle or planar-pendulumapproximations) and assuming the rods never stretch or slip, determine the angle\(\theta_2\) at the instant\[t = 10.0~\mathrm{s}.\]Give the result in degrees, in the interval \((-180^{\circ},180^{\circ}]\).arrow_forwardWhat are the expected readings of the ammeter and voltmeter for the circuit in the figure below?
