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>

The change in momentum of an object is equal to the ____________ that acts on it.
meriva

Answer : The change in momentum of an object is equal to the impulse that acts on it.

Explanation :

Change in momentum : The change in momentum of an object is the product of the mass and the change in velocity of an object.

The formula of change in momentum is,

\Delta p=m\times \Delta v

Impulse : An impulse of an object is the product of the force applied on an object and the change in time. Impulse is also equivalent to the change in momentum of  an object.

J=F\times \Delta t

Proof :

J=F\times \Delta t\\\\J=(m\times a)\times \Delta t\\\\J=m\times (a\times \Delta t)\\\\J=m\times \Delta v=\Delta p

Hence, the change in momentum of an object is equal to the impulse that acts on it.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

D) Standing wave

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Standing wave also called stationary wave  is a wave which oscillates in time but whose peak amplitude profile does not move in space.
  • A standing wave pattern is a vibrational pattern created within a medium when the vibrational frequency of the source causes reflected waves from one end of the medium to interfere with incident waves from the source.
  • Examples of standing waves include the vibration of a violin string and electron orbitals in an atom.
