When you say something is supersonic this means that you see it before you hear it. it is faster than the speed of sound.

hope it helps!

What is the force per unit area at this point acting normal to the surface with unit nor- Side View √√ mal vector n = (1/ 2)ex +
Mumz [18]

Complete Question:

Given \sigma = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}10&12&13\\12&11&15\\13&15&20\end{array}\right] at a point. What is the force per unit area at this point acting normal to the surface with\b n = (1/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + (1/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z   ? Are there any shear stresses acting on this surface?

Answer:

Force per unit area, \sigma_n = 28 MPa

There are shear stresses acting on the surface since \tau \neq 0

Explanation:

\sigma = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}10&12&13\\12&11&15\\13&15&20\end{array}\right]

equation of the normal, \b n = (1/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + (1/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z

\b n = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }\\0\\\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }\end{array}\right]

Traction vector on n, T_n = \sigma \b n

T_n =  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}10&12&13\\12&11&15\\13&15&20\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }\\0\\\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }\end{array}\right]

T_n = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{23}{\sqrt{2} }\\0\\\frac{27}{\sqrt{33} }\end{array}\right]

T_n = \frac{23}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{33}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z

To get the Force per unit area acting normal to the surface, find the dot product of the traction vector and the normal.

\sigma_n = T_n . \b n

\sigma \b n = (\frac{23}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{33}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z) . ((1/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + 0 \b  e_y +(1/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z)\\\\\sigma \b n = 28 MPa

If the shear stress, \tau, is calculated and it is not equal to zero, this means there are shear stresses.

\tau = T_n  - \sigma_n \b n

\tau =  [\frac{23}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{33}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z] - 28( (1/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + (1/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z)\\\\\tau =  [\frac{23}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{33}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z] - [ (28/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + (28/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z]\\\\\tau =  \frac{-5}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{5}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z

\tau = \sqrt{(-5/\sqrt{2})^2  + (27/\sqrt{2})^2 + (5/\sqrt{2})^2} \\\\ \tau = 19.74 MPa

Since \tau \neq 0, there are shear stresses acting on the surface.

When hydrogen is burned in the presence of oxygen it will form water as per the equation: 2h2
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

B. In the first case, a combination reaction takes place and in the second case, a decomposition reaction takes place.

Explanation:

When hydrogen burns in oxygen, water is formed and when water is electrolysed then hydrogen and oxygen are produced. What type of a reaction takes place?

(i) In the first case,

(ii) In the second case?

A. In both the cases, i.e. (i) and (ii), a combination reaction takes place.

B. In the first case, a combination reaction takes place and in the second case, a decomposition reaction takes place.

C. In the first case, a combination reaction takes place and in the second case, a displacement reaction takes place.

D. In the first case, a displacement reaction takes place and in the second case, a decomposition reaction takes place.

Answer :

Hint: When hydrogen burns in air, H2H2 reacts with O2O2 to form water molecules. Here two reactants combine to form a single product. And, when water is electrolysed into hydrogen and oxygen, here a single compound decomposes into more than one product.

Complete step by step answer:

In the First case:

When hydrogen burns in oxygen, water is formed.

Hydrogen + Oxygen = Water

2H2+O2→2H2O2H2+O2→2H2O

When two reactants elements combine to form a single component, then this reaction is called the combination reaction. So, in this case, two reactants i.e. Hydrogen and oxygen combine to form a single product i.e. water molecules and heat is also released.

In the Second case:

When water is electrolysed then hydrogen and oxygen are produced.

2H2O→2H2+O22H2O→2H2+O2

When a single reactant is decomposed or broken down into two or more products, it is known as decomposition reaction. Here, a single reactant i.e. water, breaks or decomposes up to form two or more simple products i.e. hydrogen and oxygen. This decomposition reaction takes place by the action of electricity. So, we can see that in the first case, a combination reaction takes place and in the second case, a decomposition reaction takes place.

Therefore, the correct answer is option (B).

Note: Hydrogen is combustible and it burns with a popping sound in oxygen with an almost colourless flame to form water molecules and release heat. This reaction is highly exothermic. Hydrogen must be handled very carefully as the mixture of hydrogen and oxygen can be explosive when two are present in a particular ratio.

What is the significance of the fact that the gravitational constant, G, is a very small number and that Coulomb’s constant, k,
valina [46]
Both are constants used in the definition of Forces (gravitational and electric,respectively)

Since those constants are proportional to the magnitude of the forces:

Having a small gravitational constant explains why there is no apparent force of attraction with objects of considerable low mass (they would need to have great value of mass for the equation to give an apreciable force)

Electrical interactions are usually strong, and thus require an appropiate constant to depict the phenomenon. We deal in this case with charges really small, but the forces are in different order of magnitude.

viktelen [127]
<span>A baseball speeds up as it falls through the air.
Yes.  Forces on the balloon are unbalanced. 
The balloon is speeding up, so we know that the downward force
of gravity is stronger than the upward force of air resistance.

A soccer ball is at rest on the ground.
No. The ball is not accelerating, so we know that the forces on it
are balanced.
The downward force of gravity on the ball and the upward force
of the ground are equal.


An ice skater glides in a straight line at a constant speed.
No. The skater's speed and direction are not changing, so he is not
accelerating.  That tells us that the forces on him are balanced.

A bumper car hit by another car moves off at an angle.
Yes.  The direction in which the car was moving changed. 
That's acceleration, so we know that the forces on it are unbalanced,
at least at the moment of impact. 

A balloon flies across the room when the air is released.
Yes.  The balloon was not moving. But when the little nozzle was
opened, it started to zip around the room.  So its speed changed.
And, as it goes bloozing around the room, its direction keeps changing too. 
There's a whole lot of acceleration going on, so we know the forces on it
are unbalanced.</span>
