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

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.

kozerog [31]

Answer:

Energy

A wave is a disturbance that carries energy from one place to another through matter and space.

Explanation:

A wave can be defined as a form of disturbance that carries energy from one place to another through matter and space.

The energy of wave depends on the frequency of the wave and the wavelength (lambda) of that particular wave.

Mathematically,

V = f × lambda

A 150-N box is being pulled horizontally in a wagon accelerating uniformly at 3.00 m/s2. The box does not move relative to the w

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Frictional force, F = 45.9 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the box, W = 150 N

Acceleration, $a=3\ m/s^2$

The coefficient of static friction between the box and the wagon's surface is 0.6 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.4.

It is mentioned that the box does not move relative to the wagon. The force of friction is equal to the applied force. Let a is the acceleration. So,

$m=\dfrac{W}{g}$

$m=\dfrac{150}{9.8}$

$m=15.3\ kg$

Frictional force is given by :

$F=ma$

$F=15.3\times 3$

F = 45.9 N

So, the friction force on this box is closest to 45.9 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
