Compare and contrast tension,compression and extension

Physics
1 answer:
Semmy [17]3 years ago
8 0
In physical science, tension can be described as the motion that applies a pulling force that is transmitted axially through cables, chains, or string. On the other hand, compression is the application of balanced inward forces while extension is the application of balanced outward forces in the same axis through the object.

Which of Newton's Three Laws Applies? Law 1, 2, or 3?
frozen [14]

Answer:

1. Newton's first law

2.Newton's second law

3.Newton's third law

Explanation:

1. Newton's first law stated, In an inertial frame of reference, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force... this is base of the concept of inertia.

2. Newton's second law stated, In an inertial frame of reference, the vector sum of the forces F on an object is equal to the mass m of that object multiplied by the acceleration a of the object: F = ma, or in easier words, F is directly proportional to a.

3. Newton's third law stated, When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body., In this case, the Normal Are opposite with gravititional force.

Explain the difference between impulse and impulsive force?
ExtremeBDS [4]
An impulsive force is a force that is acting only during a short time, I mean, for an instant. Impulse is a physics magnitude define by the product of the impulsive force and the time that it was acting.

The force of the added water produces a torque on the dam. In a simple model, if the torque due to the water were enough to caus
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The appropriate response is "\tau=\frac{1}{6} PgLh^3". A further explanation is described below.

Explanation:

The torque (\tau) produced by the force on the dam will be:

⇒  d \tau=XdF

On applying integration both sides, we get

⇒  \tau = \int_{0}^{a}x pgL(h-x)dx

⇒     = pgL\int_{0}^{h}(h-x)dx

⇒     =pgL[\frac{h^3}{2} -\frac{h^3}{3} ]

⇒     =\frac{1}{6} PgLh^3
