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.

Planet Tatoone is about 1.7 AU from its Sun. Approximately how long will it take for light to travel from the Sun to Tatoone in

Radda [10]

Answer:

The value is $t = 14.129 \ minutes$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance of planet Tatoone is $d = 1.7 \ AU = 1.7 *1.496* 10^{11}=2.543*10^{11} \ m$

The speed of light is $c = 3.0*10^{8} \ m/ s$

Generally the time taken is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{d}{c}$

=> $t = \frac{2.543*10^{11}}{3.0*10^{8} }$

=> $t = 847.7 \ s$

Now converting to minutes

$t = \frac{847.7}{60}$

=> $t = 14.129 \ minutes$
