Acceleration is always measured in meters per second squared. Why is acceleration not measured in meters per second like speed?

Explain.

Answer:

Because 'distance per second' is a velocity, not an acceleration.

Explanation:

Because 'distance per second' is a velocity, not an acceleration. For example, at 1 m/s an object is travelling a distance of 1 metre every second. But a rate of acceleration is a steady increase in velocity. So at 1 m/s^2, an object's velocity is increasing by 1 m/s every second.

8. How is the crystal size different for extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks?
eduard
<span>Igneous rocks which form by the crystallization of magma at a depth within the Earth are called intrusive rocks. Intrusive rocks are characterized by large crystal sizes, i.e., their visual appearance shows individual crystals interlocked together to form the rock mass.  hope that helped</span>

A single crystal of a metal that has the FCC crystal structure is oriented such that a tensile stress is applied parallel to the
algol13

Stress required to cause slip on in the direction [ 1 1 0 ] is 7.154 MPa

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given -

Stress Direction, A = [1 0 0 ]

Slip plane = [ 1 1 1]

Normal to slip plane, B = [ 1 1 1 ]

Critical stress, Sc = 2.92 MPa

Let the direction of slip on = [ 1 1 0 ]

Let Ф be the angle between A and B

cos Ф = A.B/ |A| |B| = [ 1 0 0 ] [1 1 1] / √1 √3

cos Ф = 1/√3

σ = Sc / cosФ cosλ

For slip along [ 1 1 0 ]

cos λ = [ 1 1 0 ] [ 1 0 0 ] / √2 √1

cos λ = 1/√2

Therefore,

σ = 2.92 / 1/√3 1/√2

σ = √6 X 2.92 MPa = 2.45 X 2.92 = 7.154MPa

Therefore, stress required to cause slip on in the direction [ 1 1 0 ] is 7.154MPa

As a solid element melts, the atoms become __________ and they have __________ attraction for one another. more separated, more
galina1969 [7]
The complete statement is 

As a solid element melts, the atoms become more separated and they have less attraction for one another. 

Let me explain to you how this happens. In solid phase. Its molecules are arranged in a very compact manner that is why it takes a definite shape and volume. When it is heated, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases. This is characterized by more frequent collisions. The rise in temperature causes the molecules to move rapidly by vibrating. When it reaches an amount of energy that causes the solid to change phase, this is called the latent energy. The molecules break their form and move farther away from each other until it resembles that of a liquid melting. At this point, the molecules would have lesser attraction because of the distance between them.
