Answer:

D. 803 lbs

Explanation:

In order to find the compressive stress on all three blocks we first need to find the normal surface area of each:

Surface Area of 1 Block = 3.5 x 3.5

Surface Area of 1 Block = 12.25

Surface Area of all 3 Blocks = A = 3 x 12.25

Area = 36.75

Now, the stress is given by the following formula:

Stress = Force/Area

Stress = 29500 lbs/36.75

Stress = 802.72 lbs

Hence, the correct option will be:

<u>D. 803 lbs</u>

e

h

Explanation:

Note that the swing direction was not giving in the question and direction could be sideways (in a turn) or in a track or both

The question show something in common ...acceleration

So let's look at the statements and pick the correct ones

a is false while b is correct as the train is accelerating

c is correct. The train is accelerating even thou the speed could not be ascertained

d is false and not feasible as the train is accelerating

e is true as the train maybe moving at a constant speed in a circle

f is false. This could be constant velocity in a circle. Same as g (false)

h is true. It's accelerating

Why are most of the world’s deserts located between latitudes 10°n to 30°n and 10°s to 30°s.
RoseWind [281]

The bulk of the world's deserts are located at 30 degrees north latitude and 30 degrees south latitude, when the warm equatorial air begins to descend. The heavy, warm, descending air vaporises large amounts of water from the ground's surface. As a result, the environment is rather dry.

<h3>Why are the majority of the desert regions on Earth located between 20 and 30 degrees latitude?</h3>

The zones of falling air are those between 20 and 30 latitudes on the western borders of continents (high pressure and dry weather). As a result, the moisture continues to decrease as the air is compressed and warmed as it falls.

Where the scorching equatorial air starts to descend, the majority of the world's deserts are found between 30 degrees north and 30 degrees south latitude. Large volumes of water are vaporised off the surface of the ground by the thick, warming, falling air. As a result, the climate is extremely dry.

Fiona claims that the diagram below shows simple machines, but Chad claims that it shows a compound machine.
Elza [17]

Answer:

Simple machine

Explanation:

It is a simple machine because the person wants to raise the load by an inclined plane. Simple machines perform work with the mechanical advantage offered by the machine itself, such as using a bar as Lever, lifting a load by means of a pulley. simple machines multiply or change direction a force. While Composite machines are the Union of several simple machines that perform a given job, examples of combined machines are found on bicycles, a washing machine, a car, and others.
