Good question. The amount of 'stuff' in an object is it's mass.

A fundamental distinction we learn in physics is the difference between mass and weight. If we were in deep space, away from any very large objects of mass (like a planet), we would be 'weightless' e.g. not feel the effects of gravity, but we would not be 'massless'. Our mass doesn't change based upon our proximity to large objects (gravitational attraction), but the sense of weight does.

To solve this exercise it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to Tensile Strength and Shear Strenght.

In Materials Mechanics, generally the bodies under certain loads are subject to both Tensile and shear strenghts.

By definition we know that the tensile strength is defined as

$\sigma = \frac{F}{A}$

Where,

$\sigma =$ Tensile strength

F = Tensile Force

A = Cross-sectional Area

In the other hand we have that the shear strength is defined as

$\sigma_y = \frac{F_y}{A}$

where,

$\sigma_y =$ Shear strength

$F_y =$ Shear Force

$A_0 =$ Parallel Area

PART A) Replacing with our values in the equation of tensile strenght, then

$311*10^6 = \frac{F}{(15*10^{-6})(30*10^{-2})}$

Resolving for F,

$F= 1399.5N$

PART B) We need here to apply the shear strength equation, then

$\sigma_y = \frac{F_y}{A}$

$210*10^6 = \frac{F_y}{15*10^{-6}30*10^{-2}}$

$F_y = 945N$

In such a way that the material is more resistant to tensile strength than shear force.

Which of the following is fact-based science rather than part of a personal belief system?

marusya05 [52]

Since there are no choices, then this question calls for open-ended answers. Facts-based science must have proven underlying laws that support inferences such as Coulomb's Law, Kinetic Theory of Matter and many more. On the other hand, examples of science that focus on personal belief is philosophy. This depends on the perspective of known philosophers. An example would be Sigmund Freud who proposed the theory of 3 personalities. Although it is more on personal beliefs, this is used as a foundation in the study of psychology.

Sandra takes a class field trip to a geology museum. She sees an interesting sample of igneous rock. She wonders if the material

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

It is possible for sedimentary rocks to be converted to igneous rocks. Under conditions of high temperature and pressure, sedimentary rocks can be broken down into igneous rock by melting this rock type.

When the rock is broken down, it forms melt which when cooled and solidifies will form igneous rocks.

Sedimentary rocks are formed from the breaking down of pre-existing rocks through the action of weathering, erosion and sediment transportation. Within a basin, the sediments are compacted and lithified.

When this is subjected to intense pressure and temperature, the rock hardens and might further break down to melt.

Answer:

TDR means Timeout Detection and Recovery.

Explanation:

TDR is a feature of the Windows operating system which detects response problems from a graphics card, and recovers to a functional desktop by resetting the card. If the operating system does not receive a response from a graphics card within a certain amount of time (default is 2 seconds), the operating system resets the graphics card.
