What occurs when two plates collide with enough force to break the crust?
When two plates collide with enough force, faulting occurs, breaking the crust. Faulting (Apex)
When is the work said to be done?
Work can be defined as the vissible change of something or someone so the work happens when you can detect or measure the change you are trying to provoke.Is necessary the application of a force to make the change.Mechanical work causes movement,Chemical work causes reactions and psychological work causes improvement in people´s behavior
How does a mineral break into smooth pieces when a tool is used to break it?
A mineral can have varying numbers of cleavage planes, areas where there exists an inclination to cleave when struck or force is applied.. Most mineral crystals exhibit a preferred cleavage in certain directions, but may have cleavage planes in other directions.
When two plates collide with enough force what occurs breaking the crust?
When two plates collide with enough force, faulting occurs, breaking the crust. Faulting (Apex)
What does newtons 2nd law state?
Newtons 2nd law means that when force is applied on any object an acceleration is produced in the direction of force which is applied on it. The acceleration produced in the object is directly proportional to the force applied on the object i.e. if force increases then acceleration will also increase and the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of object i.e. if the mass of the body decreases then acceleration will increase. If force is represented by 'F', acceleration by 'a' and mass by 'm' then a is directly proportional to F a is inversely proportional to m
When is static friction applied?
Static friction is not necessarily an applied force, but something that occurs when there is an applied force. Static friction occurs when there is no motion and there is a force being applied to an object on a surface.
Accerleration occurs when an object changes its?
applied force
What s the deformation of a solid due to an applied force?
when the reactive force is less as compared to the applied force on the body then a deformation occurs in the body.
What causes motion of an object?
Applied force to an object causes motion.
What causes a change in an objects accerleration?
Applied force
What occurs when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force?
work.
What occurs when a force causes an object to move in the direction of force?
work.
What occurs when force is applied over a curtain distance and motion is in the same direction as the force?
earthquakes
When does acceleraion occur?
Acceleration occurs when there is unbalanced force applied to an object.
How is work done in different situation?
Work can be completed in three different situations: when force is present, when force is applied to a particular object, and when the force applied occurs in a parallel motion.
What occurs when a force is applied over distance?
work is done, it results in an acceleration along the line of the force.
What causes inertia and momentum to increase?
Force applied to the object
