Answer is:

a) watermelon being run over by a steamroller is a shear stress.

b) a person diving into the deep end of a swimming pool is a confining pressure.

C) playing a game of tug- of-war is a tensional stress.

d) Kneading bread dough is a compressional stress

e) slipping on banana peel is shear stress.

The explanation:

a) when  the shear stress is that force which affect on the body by slippage on a plane of the body , and here, the ground is the plane and the watermelon is pushed by slippage on the ground by steamroller .

b) when the confining pressure is the pressure which caused by the effect of the weight overburden the body, and here the water in the pool is the weight that is overburden the body of the diving person which cause the confining pressure.

c) when the tensional stress is the force which is resulted from the pull body a part which perpendicular to the surface of the body, and here, playing a game of tug-of-war is represent a force of pull the rope apart so it is a tensional stress.

d) when the compressional stress is like squeezing surface of a body when the force is perpendicular to the body surface. and here Kneading bread dough is represent squeezing the bread dough  so, it  represent a compressional stress.

e) when  the shear stress is that force which affect on the body by slippage on a plane of the body , and here, the slipping on a banana peel is a shear stress as the slipping force on the banana represents the shear stress .

is it true or false that the rivalries between Serb, Croat and Muslim communities in Yugoslavia date back centuries
Elenna [48]

The correct answer is - True.

Even though, we are practically speaking about the same people, with same origin, and same language, there has been rivalries and hatred between them for centuries. In general, the biggest problem between them was created by the religion. The Croats are Catholic, the Serbs are Orthodox, and on top of it we have the population in Bosnia that was Christian, but converted to Islam under the pressure of the Ottomans. Big rivalries came out from this, and unfortunately, the conflicts between them ended up with genocides, the Croats killed Serbs in the World War II, than the Serbs in the early 90's took revenge and were killing Croats, and in the middle of it were the Muslims which also suffered genocide over them.

A scientist hypothesizes that the water in all of the earths oceans are connected. What would most likely allow this hypothesis
Tresset [83]

The difference between a hypothesis and theory is that the hypothesis is based on observations, but doesn't have a solid proof, while the theory is based on solid proof.

So in order for the scientist to make his hypothesis into theory about the connection of all the Earth's oceans, will need to provide a proof. This proof can be obtained by a sea traveling that will be well documented, and during the travel the scientist to manage to sail through all of the Earth's oceans without having any physical obstacle between any of them.
