Explain how force and surface area affect the applied pressure.​

Physics

Answer:

force and surface area are two factors affecting pressure on solids

more the force you apply, more will be the pressure

pressure and force are directly proportional meaning if Force is greater, pressure will also be greater

more the surface area of the solid less will be the pressure

surface area and pressure are inversely proportional meaning if surface are is big, pressure will be less, surface area small, pressure will be greater

Answer and Explanation:

We have a basic equation: Pressure = Force/Area.

So for example:

Increase pressure - increase the force or reduce the area the force acts on.

Decrease pressure - decrease the force, or increase the area the force acts on

The force per unit area is pressure. The force on the object is spread over the surface area. The area where the force is applied is divided by the equation for pressure.

This is the phase of matter with no fixed shape or volume.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer: Gas

Explanation:

Matter exists in three different phases, they are:

- Solid

the phase of matter with fixed shape, high density and non-moving particles that are held together by strong bonds. Example of solids are stone and chalk

- Liquid

the phase of matter with loosely held particles that are held together and take up the shape of the containing vessel. Examples of liquid are water, orange juice

- Gas

This is the phase of matter with no fixed shape or volume, rather its molecules travel rapidly and randomly within the containing vessel. Examples of gases are ammonia and oxygen

Thus, the phase of matter with no fixed shape or volume is known as gas

One student did an experiment with two unknown minerals, Mineral 1 and Mineral 2. The hardness scale shown below was used for th
Umnica [9.8K]
Scale: (soft 1-->6 hardest)
<span>1=Talc 2=Gypsum 3=Calcite 4=Fluorite 5=Apatite 6=Orthoclase

</span>Mineral #1 can only scratch two other minerals therefore it must have a hardness level of 2+1=3 which is Calcite. (scratches talc, gypsum)

Mineral #2 can scratch four other minerals therefore it must have a hardness level of 4+1=5 which is Apatite. (scratches all but Apatite, Orthoclase)

Looking through the possible conclusions.. It looks like answer is D.

ladessa [460]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C

Fire cut of fireman cut is diagonal cut which is provided at the end of the beam to prevent the fall of masonry wall if a fire breaks out in the building.

Fire cut allows joist to leave if it fails without affecting the masonry wall standing.

Without fire cut, the burnt beam will rotate downward affecting the connection of beam and wall and leading to damage it.
