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>

I which types of galaxy are globular clusters most likely to be found?
NemiM [27]
Globular clusters are very tightly bound by gravity, which gives them their spherical shapes and relatively high stellar densities toward their centers. The name of this category of star cluster is derived from the Latin globulus—a small sphere.

A train moves from rest to a speed of 25 m/s in 30.0 seconds. What is the acceleration?
fredd [130]

Answer:

a = 0.83\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Uniform Acceleration </u>

When an object changes its velocity at the same rate, the acceleration is constant.

The relation between the initial and final speeds is:

v_f=v_o+a.t

Where:

vf  = Final speed

vo = Initial speed

a   = Constant acceleration

t   = Elapsed time

It's known a train moves from rest (vo=0) to a speed of vf=25 m/s in t=30 seconds. It's required to calculate the acceleration.

Solving for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

Substituting:

\displaystyle a=\frac{25-0}{30}

\boxed{a = 0.83\ m/s^2}
