What are the three main types of stress in rock

Physics
1 answer:
Rzqust [24]3 years ago
7 0
Compression, shearing and tension are the three main types of stresses faced by rocks. In regards to the force of compression, external force acts on the rock to squeeze it until it disintegrates. In case of shearing, the rock is pulled in two opposite directions by force. This ultimately results in the rock breaking down into pieces. Tension is another force that pulls the rock, making it thin in the middle. This way the rock disintegrates as it becomes weaker and weaker in the middle. Most of the rocks present in the earths crust are hugely affected by these three forces.

Describe what happens to chromosomes before mitosis.
Brums [2.3K]

Explanation:

Before mitosis, the chromosomes are copied. They then coil up, and each chromosome looks like a letter X in the nucleus of the cell. The chromosomes now consist of two sister chromatids. Mitosis separates these chromatids, so that each new cell has a copy of every chromosome

A penny has a mass of 2.50 g, a diameter of 19.55 mm, and a thickness of 1.55 mm. Calculate the density of the material from whi
Dmitry [639]
Density = (mass) divided by (volume)

We know the mass (2.5 g).  We need to find the volume.

The penny is a very short cylinder.
The volume of a cylinder is (π · radius² · height).
The penny's radius is 1/2 of its diameter = 9.775 mm.
The 'height' of the cylinder is the penny's thickness = 1.55 mm.

Volume  =  (π) (9.775 mm)² (1.55 mm)

             =  (π) (95.55 mm²) (1.55 mm)

             =  (π) (148.1 mm³)

             =        465.3 mm³

We know the volume now.  So we could state the density of the penny,
but nobody will understand what we have.  Here it is:

         mass/volume = 2.5 g / 465.3 mm³  =  0.0054 g/mm³  .

Nobody every talks about density in units of ' gram/(millimeter)³ ' .
It's always ' gram / (centimeter)³ '.
So we have to convert our number for the volume.

                         (0.0054  g/mm³)  x  (10 mm / cm)³

                 =      (0.0054 x 1,000)  g/cm³

                 =          5.37  g/cm³  .

This isn't actually very close to what the US mint says for the density
of a penny, but it's in a much better ball park than 0.0054 was.

Question 2 (10 points)

The force required to slow the truck was -5020 N

Explanation:

First of all, we find the acceleration of the truck, which is given by

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

For the truck in this problem,

v = 11.5 m/s

u = 21.9 m/s

t = 2.88 s

So the acceleration is

a=\frac{11.5-21.9}{2.88}=-3.6 m/s^2

where the negative sign means that this is a deceleration.

Now we can find the force exerted on the truck, which is given by Newton's second law:

F=ma

where

m = 1390 kg is the mass of the truck

a=-3.6 m/s^2 is the acceleration

And substituting,

F=(1390)(-3.6)=-5004 N

So the closest answer among the option is -5020 N.
