Benny wonders why when he presses his finger against a map nothing happens to the map. However if he presses a thumbtack into th

e map using the same force the tack will probably poke a hole in the map.

Answer: The pressure exerted on a surface by an object increases as the surface area of contact decreases.

Explanation:

Pressure measures the amount of force exerted per a given area of an object. From this definition, the surface area of the object and force applied, affects the pressure applied.

As Benny presses his finger against a map, nothing happens to the map because the force applied is affected by the increased surface area of his finger. However as he presses a thumbtack into the map using the same force the tack will probably poke a hole in the map because the small( decreased) surface area of the sharp point of the thumbtack produces a much larger pressure on the map than the area of Benny finger. I hope this helps, thanks!

describe an experiment to show how the frequency of a note emitted by a vibrating string depends on the tension of the string
mart [117]
Easy ! 

Take any musical instrument with strings ... a violin, a guitar, etc.

The length of the vibrating part of the strings doesn't change ...
it's the distance from the 'bridge' to the 'nut'.

Pluck any string.  Then, slightly twist the tuning peg for that string,
and pluck the string again.

Twisting the peg only changed the string's tension; the length
couldn't change.

-- If you twisted the peg in the direction that made the string slightly
tighter, then your second pluck had a higher pitch than your first one.

-- If you twisted the peg in the direction that made the string slightly
looser, then your second pluck had a lower pitch than the first one.

Which transformation could take place at the anode of an electrochemical cell?
erica [24]
As I found out the choices for your question which are: 

<span>A) F2 to F-
B) Cr2O7²- → Cr2+ 
C) O2 to H2O
D) HAsO2 to As
</span>
Unfortunately, the answer does not belong to the choices provided. In fact, it is the oxidation half-reaction that occurs at the anode of an electrode for it to transform chemical energy to consumable electrical energy.

Which one of the following statements is true? Explain.
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

All the given option is false.

Explanation:

A)

This is not true for all the materials like composite because the Poisson ratio for composite material can be negative that is why positive tensile stress may produce positive lateral strain.

B)

This is not true for all the material because the Poisson ratio for some material can be positive  that is why positive tensile stress may produce negative lateral strain.

C)

The explanation is same as option A.

D)

This is not true for all the materials ,It is valid only up to elastic limit .After the elastic limit the strain and stress does not follow linear path.

E)

This is not true for all the materials because some materials like composite is having negative value of Young's modulus.

Therefore all the given option is false.
