A material is said to be ductile if it can be stretched thin when tensile stress is administered. Such a material can be stretched into a wire.

This is different from malleability which describes a material that can bend or alter shape using compressive force e.g. hammering , rather than tensile stress.

Tensile stress is a type of force or stress that alters the length of a material in the same direction as the force being applied.

The opposite of ductile is brittle. Brittle materials can break when subjected too much tensile stress.

Explaining How Momentum Can Cause

Ghella [55]

Answer:

The astronaut can throw the hammer in a direction away from the space station. While he is holding the hammer, the total momentum of the astronaut and hammer is 0 kg • m/s. According to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum after he throws the hammer must still be 0 kg • m/s. In order for momentum to be conserved, the astronaut will have to move in the opposite direction of the hammer, which will be toward the space station.

a linear function has the same y-intercept as x + 4y equals 16 and it's graph contains the point (4,5). Find the slope of the li

navik [9.2K]

Answer: $\bold{\text{Slope (m)}=\dfrac{1}{4}}$

Explanation:

A linear equation is of the form: y = mx + b where

m is the slope
b is the y-intercept (where it crosses the y-axis)

x + 4y = 16

4y = -x + 16

$y = -\dfrac{1}{4}x+\dfrac{16}{4}$

$y=-\dfrac{1}{4}x+4$

The y-intercept (b) = 4

Next, find the slope given point (4, 5) and b = 4

$y=mx+b\\\\5=m(4)+4\\\\1=4m\\\\\dfrac{1}{4}=m\\\\\\\\\large\boxed{Slope (m)=\dfrac{1}{4}}$

A mass accelerates uniformly when the resultant force on it:

WARRIOR [948]

F = ma
So if you want the "a" to stay constant (as it is then uniform acceleration), the F must also be constant to apply a constant force.
