What are the three main types of stress in rock

Physics

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.

Is there a definite end to our atmosphere?
Irina18 [472]
There is no definite end to earths atmosphere, but technically the border between the outer space and earth gets thinner as you move up from the earths surface. The Karman line is the closest definition there is which describes the end of the earth's atmosphere, it is 100 km above earth's sea level at approximately 1.56 % of total earth's radius. This describes the boundary between the outer space and the atmosphere.

Capacitor 2 has half the capacitance and twice the potential difference as capacitor 1. What is the ratio (U_{\rm C})_1/\,(U_{\r
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

1/2

Explanation:

The energy stored in a capacitor is given by

U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2

where

C is the capacitance

V is the potential difference

Calling C_1 the capacitance of capacitor 1 and V_1 its potential difference, the energy stored in capacitor 1 is

U=\frac{1}{2}C_1 V_1^2

For capacitor 2, we have:

- The capacitance is half that of capacitor 1: C_2 = \frac{C_1}{2}

- The voltage is twice the voltage of capacitor 1: V_2 = 2 V_1

so the energy stored in capacitor 2 is

U_2 = \frac{1}{2}C_2 V_2^2 = \frac{1}{2}\frac{C_1}{2}(2V_1)^2 = C_1 V_1^2

So the ratio between the two energies is

\frac{U_1}{U_2}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}C_1 V_1^2}{C_1 V_1^2}=\frac{1}{2}

leva [86]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply conservation of the moment and conservation of energy.

By conservation of the moment we know that

MV=mv

Where

M=Heavier mass

V = Velocity of heavier mass

m = lighter mass

v = velocity of lighter mass

That equation in function of the velocity of heavier mass is

V = \frac{mv}{M}

Also we have that m/M = 1/7 times

On the other hand we have from law of conservation of energy that

W_f = KE

Where,

W_f = Work made by friction

KE = Kinetic Force

Applying this equation in heavier object.

F_f*S = \frac{1}{2}MV^2

\mu M*g*S = \frac{1}{2}MV^2

\mu g*S = \frac{1}{2}( \frac{mv}{M})^2

\mu = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{7}v)^2

\mu = \frac{1}{98}v^2

\mu = \frac{1}{g(98)(5.1)}v^2

Here we can apply the law of conservation of energy for light mass, then

\mu mgs = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Replacing the value of \mu

\frac{1}{g(98)(5.1)}v^2  mgs = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Deleting constants,

s= \frac{(98*5.1)}{2}

s = 249.9m
