What happens overtime to rocks that are stressed

Physics
1 answer:
malfutka [58]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Stress is the force applied to an object. In geology, stress is the force per unit area that is placed on a rock. Four types of stresses act on materials.

A deeply buried rock is pushed down by the weight of all the material above it. Since the rock cannot move, it cannot deform. This is called confining stress.

Compression squeezes rocks together, causing rocks to fold or fracture (break) (Figure below). Compression is the most common stress at convergent plate boundaries.

A motorist drives north for 35.0 minutes at 85.0 kph. He then stops for 15.0 minutes. The motorist then drives 130.0 km in 2.0 h
o-na [289]

Answer:

A. 216.36 \frac{km}{h}

B. 96.56 \frac{km}{h}

Explanation:

Let s_{1} be the distance in first part.

s_{1} = velocity × time

s_{1} = 85 × \frac{35}{60}

s_{1} = 49.58 km

Let s_{2} be the distance in first part.

s_{2} = 130 km

Average velocity = \frac{Total displacement}{Total time}

When second leg of the trip is

A. Toward north

Average velocity = \frac{[tex] s_{1} + s_{2}}{Total time}  [/tex]

Average velocity = \frac{130+49.58}{0.25+0.58}

Average velocity =216.36 \frac{km}{h}

B. Toward south

Average velocity = \frac{[tex] s_{1} - s_{2}}{Total time}  [/tex]

Average velocity = \frac{130-49.58}{0.25+0.58}

Average velocity =96.56 \frac{km}{h}
