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.

You charge an initially uncharged 65.7-mf capacitor through a 39.1-Ï resistor by means of a 9.00-v battery having negligible int
uysha [10]
In a RC-circuit, with the capacitor initially uncharged,  when we connect the battery to the circuit the charge on the capacitor starts to increase following the law:
Q(t) = Q_0 (1-e^{-t/\tau})
where t is the time, Q_0 = CV is the maximum charge on the capacitor at voltage V, and \tau = RC is the time constant of the circuit.
Using this law, we can answer all the three questions of the problem.

1) Using R=39.1 \Omega and C= 65.7 mF=65.7\cdot 10^{-3}F, the time constant of the circuit is:
\tau = RC=(39.1 \Omega)(65.7 \cdot 10^{-3}F)=2.57 s

2) To find the charge on the capacitor at time t=1.95 \tau, we must find before the maximum charge on the capacitor, which is
Q_0 = CV=(65.7 \cdot 10^{-3}F)(9 V)=0.59 C
And then, the charge at time t=1.95 \tau is equal to
Q(1.95 \tau) = Q_0 (1-e^{-t/\tau})=(0.59 C)(1-e^{-1.95})=0.51 C

3) After a long time (let's say much larger than the time constant of the circuit), the capacitor will be fully charged, this means its charge will be Q_0 = 0.59 C. We can see this also from the previous formule, by using t=\infty:
Q(t) = Q_0 (1-e^{-\infty})=Q_0(1-0) = 0.59 C

How long must a 0.70-mm-diameter aluminum wire be to have a 0.40 a current when connected to the terminals of a 1.5 v flashlight
Natalka [10]
By using Ohm's law, we can find what should be the resistance of the wire, R:
R= \frac{V}{I}= \frac{1.5 V}{0.40 A} =3.75 \Omega

Then, let's find the cross-sectional area of the wire. Its radius is half the diameter,
r=35 mm=0.35 \cdot 10^{-3} m
So the area is
A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.35 \cdot 10^{-3} m)^2=3.85 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2

And by using the resistivity  of the Aluminum, \rho=2.65 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m, we can use the relationship between resistance R and resistivity:
R= \frac{\rho L}{A}
to find L, the length of the wire:
L= \frac{RA}{\rho}= \frac{(3.75 \Omega)(3,85 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2)}{2.65 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m}=54.48 m

The property of matter that resists changes in motion is
vredina [299]

Answer:

Inertia

Explanation:

Inertia is the property that any physical object has of remaining in its state of relative motion. Therefore, it is the resistance that opposes matter to modify its state of motion, which includes changes in speed or changes in the direction of movement.
