What happens overtime to rocks that are stressed

Physics
1 answer:
malfutka [58]3 years ago

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.

How much force is needed to stop a 80 kg football player if he decelerates at 5m/s?
cricket20 [7]

Use Newton's 2nd law of motion.
Here it is:

                     Force  =  (mass)  x  (acceleration)

                                 = (80 kg) x (-5 m/s²)

                                 =      -400 Newtons .

I called the acceleration negative because the player is slowing down.

The force comes out negative because it's in the direction opposite to
his motion.

Answer:

The current through the wire is equal to 0.8 A.

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of a copper wire = 2 m

Potential difference = 24 mV

The current through the wire is 0.40 A.

The new potential difference is 48 mV.

We need to find the current through the wire.

As the potential difference is doubled for second wire. So the new current will be :

I' = 2I

= 2 × 0.4

= 0.80 A

So, the current through the wire is equal to 0.8 A.
