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.

what equastion do you use to solve Riders in a carnival ride stand with their backs against the wall of a circular room of diame
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

μsmín = 0.1

Explanation:

  • There are three external forces acting on the riders, two in the vertical direction that oppose each other, the force due to gravity (which we call weight) and the friction force.
  • This friction force has a maximum value, that can be written as follows:

       F_{frmax} = \mu_{s} *F_{n} (1)

       where  μs is the coefficient of static friction, and Fn is the normal force,

       perpendicular to the wall and aiming to the center of rotation.

  • This force is the only force acting in the horizontal direction, but, at the same time, is the force that keeps the riders rotating, which is the centripetal force.
  • This force has the following general expression:

       F_{c} =  m* \omega^{2} * r (2)

       where ω is the angular velocity of the riders, and r the distance to the

      center of rotation (the  radius of the circle), and m the mass of the

      riders.

      Since Fc is actually Fn, we can replace the right side of (2) in (1), as

      follows:

     F_{frmax} = m* \mu_{s} * \omega^{2} * r (3)

  • When the riders are on the verge of sliding down, this force must be equal to the weight Fg, so we can write the following equation:

       m* g = m* \mu_{smin} * \omega^{2} * r (4)

  • (The coefficient of static friction is the minimum possible, due to any value less than it would cause the riders to slide down)
  • Cancelling the masses on both sides of (4), we get:

       g = \mu_{smin} * \omega^{2} * r (5)

  • Prior to solve (5) we need to convert ω from rev/min to rad/sec, as follows:

      60 rev/min * \frac{2*\pi rad}{1 rev} *\frac{1min}{60 sec} =6.28 rad/sec (6)

  • Replacing by the givens in (5), we can solve for μsmín, as follows:

       \mu_{smin} = \frac{g}{\omega^{2} *r}  = \frac{9.8m/s2}{(6.28rad/sec)^{2} *2.5 m} =0.1 (7)

A Carnot air conditioner operates between an indoor temperature of 20°C and an outdoor temperature of 39°C. How much energy does
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

D. 130 J

Explanation:

The coefficient of performance for a machine that is being used to cool, is given by:

COP=\frac{Q_C}{W}=\frac{T_C}{T_H-T_C}

Here Q_C  is the heat removed from the cold reservoir, W is the work required, that is, the energy required to remove the heat from the interior of the house, T_C is the cold temperature and T_H is the hot temperature. Recall use absolutes temperatures(273.15+^\circ C). Replacing and solving for W:

W=Q_c\frac{T_H-T_C}{T_C}\\W=2000J\frac{312.15K-293.15K}{293.15K}\\W=129.63J
