What type of stress is caused by two tectonic plates sliding past one another

Chemistry
1 answer:
user100 [1]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Shear stress

Explanation:

Shear stress occurs in what we call transform boundaries. Transform boundaries happen when two tectonic plates slide against each other.

There are 3 main types of stress and shear stress is one of them.

Additional information ahead, continue reading if you'd like to know more.

Compression stress occurs when two tectonic plates are convergin g (at convergent boundaries).

Tension stress occurs when two tectonic plates are diverging, or when they are moving apart, (at divergent boundaries).

Electrons are charged particles. Moving charged particles are a current. There is a current of electrons flowing through a coppe
Naddik [55]

Answer:

As the electrons flow through the wire, <em>electric current </em>is generated around the wire.

Explanation:

The rate of flow of charged particles in a given time is termed as the flow of current. Mostly the charge carriers are termed as electrons in a conductor. So the flow of electrons or movement of charged particles in a given time is the generation of electric current in that current. As the ratio of charge to time at which the charge is moving from one point to another is termed as the current flow in that time.

Current=\frac{Charge}{Time}

Thus, in the present case of electrons flowing in that wire will lead to generating of electric current in the opposite direction around the wire.

If a gas in a closed container is pressurized from 15.0 atmospheres to 16.0
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

T₂ = 317.87 K

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial pressure = 15 atm

Final pressure = 16 atm

Initial temperature = 298 K

Final temperature = ?

Solution:

According to Gay-Lussac Law,

The pressure of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant volume and number of moles.

Mathematical relationship:

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

Now we will put the values in formula:

15 atm / 298K = 16 atm/T₂

T₂ = 16atm × 298 K / 15 atm

T₂ = 4768 atm. K / 15 atm

T₂ = 317.87 K

A 2.00 kg piece of lead at 40.0°C is placed in a very large quantity of water at 10.0°C,and thermal equilibrium is eventually re
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Δ S = 26.2 J/K

Explanation:

The change in entropy can be calculated from the formula  -

Δ S = m Cp ln ( T₂ / T₁ )

Where ,

Δ S = change in entropy

m = mass  = 2.00 kg

Cp =specific heat of lead is 130 J / (kg ∙ K) .

T₂ = final temperature  10.0°C + 273 = 283 K

T₁ = initial temperature ,  40.0°C + 273 = 313 K

Applying the above formula ,

The change in entropy is calculated as ,

ΔS = m Cp ln ( T₂ / T₁ )  = (2.00 )( 130 ) ln( 283 K / 313 K )

ΔS = 26.2 J/K
