Answer:

The correct answer is option A. "tension force".

Explanation:

Suspension bridges, like the Golden Gate Bridge or the Brooklyn Bridge, use tension force as the primary source of force that cables use to hold their spans up. The supporting cables receive the tension forces of the bridge, and this same force passes to the anchorages and into the ground. This equilibrium that the tension force gives among the different elements of the bridge, gives the support to hold the bridge together.

Answer:

A. Tension force

Explanation:

These are bridges that use cables to hold the road way up.

The cables in a suspension bridge receive the tension force of the bridge. These cables transmit these forces to the towers supporting the bridge and are compressed into the ground.

3. In what circumstance will a flash of lightning travel through the sky and<br> touch the ground?
alexgriva [62]

Answer: The answer is both. Cloud-to-ground lightning comes from the sky down, but the part you see comes from the ground up. A typical cloud-to-ground flash lowers a path of negative electricity (that we cannot see) towards the ground in a series of spurts.

How do you find the rest mass (kg) of a 3.1 eV electron?
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The rest energy of any substance is defined by the Einstein's mass energy equivalence relation. Thus the rest mass of a electron is 9.11x10^-31 kg. The speed of light is 299,792,458 m/s. Thus multiplying the square of speed of light with the rest mass of electron gives the rest energy of the electron.
