Rzqust [24]3 years ago

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.

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

final temperature of  slug of gold is 37°C

final temperature of  slug of manganese is 28.56°C

Explanation:

Hello! To solve this problem we must take into account the concept of heat capacity, this is defined as the ratio between energy and temperature rise.

In other words it is the amount of energy that is required to increase a temperature degree.

Taking into account the above we infer the following equation

where  

C=heat capacity
