Answer:
Option D is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Stress is the force per unit area that tend to change the shape of body.
Stress is defined as internal resistive force per unit area.
So, so stress distributed over an area is best described as internal resistive force.
Option D is the correct answer.
Answer:
When the same amount of heat is added to cold sand and cold water, the temperature change of sand will be higher because of its lower specific heat capacity.
What is specific heat capacity?
Specific heat capacity is the quantity
of heat required to raise a unit mass of
a substance by 1 kelvin.
Specific heat capacity of water and sand
{<em>refer to the above attachment}</em>
Δθ = Q/mc
Thus, for an equal mass of water and sand, when the same amount of heat is added to cold sand and cold water, the temperature change of sand will be higher because of its lower specific heat capacity.
Answer:
LAW 1 : For a given metal and frequency, the number of photoelectrons emitted is directly proportional to the intensity of the incident radiation.
---------------------------------------------
LAW 2: For a given metal, there exists a certain frequency below which the photoelectric emission does not take place. This frequency is called threshold frequency.
-----------------------------------------------
LAW 3: For a frequency greater than the threshold frequency, the kinetic energy of photoelectrons is dependent upon frequency or wavelength but not on the intensity of light.
-----------------------------------------------
LAW 4: Photoelectric emission is an instantaneous process. The time lag between incidence of radiations and emission of electron is 10^-9 seconds.
Explanation:
Answer: water freezes inside a rock, causing it to break
Weathering is a natural process in which the rocks break into pieces or sediments by the action of wind, water and chemical agents. Frost wedging is a physical weathering process. It occurs in an area where temperature fluctuations occurs due to change in the climatic conditions. This occurs due to rapid heating and cooling. The rocks lying in a cold environment, the water residing in the rocks gets freezed. The water in ice form that is solid form acquire more space than in liquid form, therefore, the developed ice will affect the physical structure of the rock. The formation of ice results in the development of break or crack in the rock typically in the shape of a wedge and thus the phenomena is called as frost wedging.
Hence, frost wedging happens when water freezes inside a rock, causing it to break.
