Answer:

Explanation:

goes down as the temperature decreases, and vice versa. Sound's frequency is independent of temperature, while its speed is directly proportional to temperature. Heat, like sound, is a form of kinetic energy. Molecules at higher temperatures have more energy, thus they can vibrate faster. Since the molecules vibrate faster, sound waves can travel more quickly. ... This is faster than 331 meters per second, which is the speed of sound in air at freezing temperatures.

hope this helps!!!!

Answer: VENUS

Explanation:

Venus tiene una lenta rotación retrógrada, lo que significa que gira de este a oeste, en lugar de hacerlo de oeste a este como lo hacen la mayoría de los demás planetas mayores (Urano también tiene una rotación retrógrada, aunque el eje de rotación de Urano, inclinado 97.86°, prácticamente descansa sobre el plano.

Mumz [18]

Complete Question:

Given $\sigma = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}10&12&13\\12&11&15\\13&15&20\end{array}\right]$ at a point. What is the force per unit area at this point acting normal to the surface with $\b n = (1/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + (1/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z$ ? Are there any shear stresses acting on this surface?

Answer:

Force per unit area, $\sigma_n = 28 MPa$

There are shear stresses acting on the surface since $\tau \neq 0$

Explanation:

$\sigma = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}10&12&13\\12&11&15\\13&15&20\end{array}\right]$

equation of the normal, $\b n = (1/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + (1/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z$

$\b n = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }\\0\\\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }\end{array}\right]$

Traction vector on n, $T_n = \sigma \b n$

$T_n = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}10&12&13\\12&11&15\\13&15&20\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }\\0\\\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }\end{array}\right]$

$T_n = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{23}{\sqrt{2} }\\0\\\frac{27}{\sqrt{33} }\end{array}\right]$

$T_n = \frac{23}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{33}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z$

To get the Force per unit area acting normal to the surface, find the dot product of the traction vector and the normal.

$\sigma_n = T_n . \b n$

$\sigma \b n = (\frac{23}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{33}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z) . ((1/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + 0 \b e_y +(1/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z)\\\\\sigma \b n = 28 MPa$

If the shear stress, $\tau$ , is calculated and it is not equal to zero, this means there are shear stresses.

$\tau = T_n - \sigma_n \b n$

$\tau = [\frac{23}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{33}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z] - 28( (1/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + (1/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z)\\\\\tau = [\frac{23}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{33}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z] - [ (28/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + (28/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z]\\\\\tau = \frac{-5}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{5}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z$

$\tau = \sqrt{(-5/\sqrt{2})^2 + (27/\sqrt{2})^2 + (5/\sqrt{2})^2} \\\\ \tau = 19.74 MPa$

Since $\tau \neq 0$ , there are shear stresses acting on the surface.

Sophie [7]

Answer:

B) 100 J

Explanation:

Assuming the distance given is measured along the incline, the vertical change in height is (5 m)(sin 30°) = 2.5 m. Then the change in potential energy is ...

∆PE = mg(∆h) = (4 kg)(10 m/s^2)(2.5 m) = 100 J
