Answer:

D. the same as force. the applied force per cross-sectional area.

Explanation:

Tensile stress of a material is defined as the ratio of the applied force on the material to its cross sectional area. this is expressed mathematically as;

Tensile stress = Force/cross sectional area

Tensile stress = F/A

Force is measured in newton while cross sectional area is measured in m

Hence the unit of Tensile stress is N/m²

How can we protect space shuttles or astronauts from space radiation in the absence of the atmospheric layer?
Arisa [49]
Earth's protective magnetic bubble, called the magnetosphere, deflects most solar particles, but in the absence of atmospheric layer, Polyethylene is a good shielding material because it has high hydrogen content, and hydrogen atoms are good at absorbing and dispersing radiation.

The Earth’s atmospheres are kept in place by gravity. The air near the ground is pulled on by gravity and compressed by the air higher in the sky. This causes the air near the ground to be denser and creating different layers with different qualities in which are the atmosphere.

Hope that helps ^^

. Maria walked 1.5 miles south to her house in 0.5 hours. What is her speed in miles per hour?
Simora [160]

1) 3 miles/Hour

The speed is defined as the distance covered divided by the time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d = 1.5 mi is the distance

t = 0.5 h is the time taken

Substituting,

v=\frac{1.5}{0.5}=3 mi/h

2) 1.34 m/s south

Velocity, instead, is a vector, so it has both a magnitude and a direction. We have:

d=1.5 mi \cdot 1609 m/mi = 2414 m is the displacement in meters

t=0.5 h \cdot 3600 s/h =1800 s is the time taken in seconds

Substituting,

v=\frac{2414 m}{1800 s}=1.34 m/s

And the direction of the velocity is the same as the displacement, so it is south.

A cannonball is fired horizontally at the same time a ball being dropped from the same height How do the times it takes them to
ipn [44]

Answer:

The cannonball and the ball will both take the same amount of time before they hit the ground.

Explanation:

For a ball fired horizontally from a given height, there is only a vertical acceleration on it towards the ground. This acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity (g = 9.81 m/s^2). A ball dropped from a height will also only experience the same vertical acceleration downwards which is also equal to g = 9.81 m/s^2.

Therefore both the cannonball and the ball will take the same amount of time to hit the ground if they are released/fired from the same height.
