When a ceramic rod is broken into two parts in tension each part will apparently be stronger than the original whole why?

Because the break occurred at the weakest point in the rod. All other points, in both parts, are stronger than that point was.

How can the forces of compression and tension work together to make a stronger bridge?
The forces of tension and compression may work together by pushing the pieces of the bridge together. This can help ensure maximum even weight distribution, and ensure joint contact.
Three types of stress that occurs in Earth's crust?
Tension, Compresion, and Shear :)
What is a belt tension pulley?
Most cars now have a serpentine belt that drive the alternator, water pump, power steering unit, etc. The belt tension pulley is a spring loaded pulley that keeps the proper tension on all these units. It can be moved to release the tension in order to remove the belt.
Why are ceramics strong?
Ceramics are strong but only in some ways. They are: They resist to high temperatures, they don't conduct electricity and they have a high Young/elasticity module - that is, the deform very little while resisting to high tensions. Atoms in ceramics are either linked by covalent or ionic bounds, which are the strongest bounds at the atomic level. Therefore they tend to have high thermal resistance since its very hard for those bounds to be broken, and so it's very hard for a ceramic to melt. That's why they're used in space shuttle. They don't conduct electricity because there aren't free electrons or free ions capable of transmitting an electric current.
How do you tighten a new timing belt?
Power steering/Drive belt Adjustment To adjust P/S belt tension, loosen tension pulley bolts and turn tension pulley using hexagon wrench. Adjust belt tension to specification described in CHECK. Then tighten tension pulley bolts to specified torque. Tightening torque P/S belt tension pulley bolt (a): 25 Nm (2.5 kgf-m, 18.5 ft. lbs.)
Are straws stronger under tension or compression?
tension when it bends the ridges are pulling apart and thats tension
How do you put the word apparently and amid in a sentence?
Amid the tension of the crowd, the senator was apparently calm.
Why is tensile strength stronger than compressive strength?
Neither tensile strength nor compressive strength is inherently "stronger." Some materials are stronger in tension; other materials are stronger in compression. For example, rope is much stronger in tension than in compression, but concrete is much stronger in compression than in tension.
Stone slabs are stronger under compression or tension?
Stone slabs are stronger under compression.
What does baby powder do to water's surface tension?
Makes it stronger
Are marshmallows stronger in tension or compression?
Marshmallows are strronger in comperesseion.
Is spaghetti stronger in tension or compression?
Spaghetti is stronger under tension because spaghetti is brittle and therefore a smaller yield point. This is bad for compression because compression requires a large elastic value, which spaghetti doesn't have. Because tension hardly changes spaghetti it makes it stronger than compression.
Is brick stronger than metal?
Brick will usually be stronger in compression, but metals will usually be stronger in tension.
Can the surface tension of water be made stronger?
yes with baby powder
Why tensile strength is higher than shear strength?
because of how the molecules are arranged, most materials are a lot stronger in tension than in shear. This is not true for all materials, like chalk or concrete, which are much stronger in shear than in tension.
What is HT line in Electricity?
High tension line so a stronger wire for more electricity to run through
What does surface tension have to do wih floating?
surface tension relates with flotation in that the stronger the surface tension, the easier an object will float.
