The best answer is D.

Stress is a force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume. Because stress is a force, it adds energy to the rock, which is stored in the rock until either the rock breaks or changes shape.

There are three kinds of stress, namely shearing, tension and compression.

Shearing- force that pushes a mass of rock in two opposite directions and can cause rock to break and slip apart or change shape.

Tension - force that pulls on the crust, stretching rock so that it becomes thinner in the middle.

Compression - force that squeezes rock until it folds or breaks

Verizon [17]

Answer: v = 4.4 m/s

Explanation:

In the absence of friction, the total mechanical energy will be constant

KE₀ + PE₀ = KE₁ + PE₁

0 + mg(6) = ½mv₁² + mg(5)

½mv₁² = mg(6 - 5)

v = √(2g(1)) = 4.4 m/s

Two identical charges q placed 2.0 mapart exert forces of magnitude 4.0 N on each other What is the value of the charge q? a) q

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

c) $4.2*10^{-5}C$

Explanation:

Coulomb's law says that the force exerted between two charges is inversely proportional to the square of distance between them, and is given by the expression:

$F=\frac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}$

where k is a proportionality constant with the value $k=9*10^{9}\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}}$

In this case $q_{1}=q_{2}=q$ , so we have:

$F=\frac{kq^{2}}{r^{2}}$

Solving the equation for q, we have:

$kq^{2}=Fr^{2}$

$q^{2}=\frac{Fr^{2}}{k}$

$q=\sqrt{\frac{Fr^{2}}{k}}$

Replacing the given values:

$q=\sqrt{\frac{4.0N*(2.0m)^{2}}{9*10^{-9}\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}}}}$

$q=4.2*10^{-5}C$

Stells [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sunlight comes in the form of light energy. Upon striking the solar panels, it converts the light energy into electrical energy so as to run throughout the circuits. Then since it's used to power light, the electrical energy will be converted back into light energy
