At depths of greater than 60 m, ice moves by plastic deformation. What causes this transition from brittle to ductile behavior?

Physics

mafiozo [28]4 years ago

Answer:

Increase in the intensity of pressure allows very less deformation

Explanation:

For the water the variation of pressure at any depth is directly proportional to the depth of the water above that level.

Thus, at depth greater than 60 m the intensity of pressure on ice is very high and therefore very little deformation is possible.

Hence, the transition from brittle to ductile behavior is observed.

Use energy conservation to calculate the speed!

When a circuit is arranged in parallel
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

A. There are multiple paths that electrons can take through the circuit, and it is possible for the electron to pass through one circuit component but not another.

Explanation:

Parallel arrangement of components in an electric circuit puts different parts of the circuit on different branches. In a parallel connection, there are multiple paths for the electrons to take, and it is possible for electrons to pass through on circuit component without going through another. This is the reason why If there is a break in one branch of the circuit, electrons can still flow in other branches, and the same reason why one bulb going off in your home does prevent the other components in your home from coming on (your home is wired in a parallel electric circuit).

A Red-Tailed Hawk leaves its nest and flies 100.0 meters across the sky in 20 seconds, when it spots a garter snake on the groun
igomit [66]
Speed = distance / time.

Speed of him leaving the nest:
S = 100 / 20sec

5 m/s.

Catching the snake:
S2 = 50 / 5sec

10 m/s.

Average of 5& 10 = 7.5

7.5 m/s has to be the answer.
