Answer:

1. Changing Beam Material

2. Corrugation

3. Changing Beam form

4. Steel Reinforcing Bars

Explanation:

Changing Beam Material

Some materials are stronger when used in beams than others. Beams made of steel for instance are stronger than beams made of wood. Therefore changing material can improve the strength of the beam. It is quite important to take into account the weights of the material though as different structures have different requirements.

Corrugation.

You can fold the beam into triangular shapes to increase strength. If you look at roofs you will notice that they are folded and this increased their strength. The same logic can be applied to beams.

Changing Beam Form

Another way to make Beams stronger is to change their form or rather their shape. Straight beams are not as strong as I-beams for instance. I-beams look like the capital letter I with the lines at both ends. I-beams are usually used in construction which shows that they are quite strong.

Steel Reinforcing Bars

When placed in concrete beams, Steel Reinforcing Bars which are also called Rebar can help strengthen a beam by helping it withstand the forces of tension. A concrete beam with Rebar inside it is known as Reinforced Concrete.

user100 [1]
If there is no net force on an object, then the object will <span>maintain it's rate of speed. Basically, net force is the change in an object's motion. If it is stationary and not moving, the object will stay stationary. If the object is moving at a rate of 2 miles per hour, it will constantly continue to move 2 mph because there is no net force.</span>

Which of the following items is a salt? (1 point)
Tems11 [23]

  • Calcium carbonate is the  salt  among the given options.

  • Calcium carbonate ( CaCO3) can be regarded as  which appears as white and odorless powder or  as a colorless crystals it is  insoluble in water.

  • The chemical  formula is CaCO3. It can be used as an antacid as well as food colouring and a  food firming agent and a fertilizer.

  • Calcium carbonate is calcium salt as well as carbonate salt with one-carbon compound

  • Salt can be regarded as substance which is  produced by reaction between acid and  base. It  consists negative ion (anion) of that acid as well as positive ion (cation) of the base.

  • Sodium hydroxide is a base and not a salt

  • Carbonic acid is an acid and not a salt

  • Therefore, calcium carbonate is the only salt in the among the given options.
