(a) State two uses of a polar satellite.
(b) What does the slope of a graph of tensile stress against tensile strain represent?
Verified Correct Answer: .
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
(a) The uses of polar satellites include:
(i) for location identification
(ii) to collect data on climate change
(iii) observe and predict a natural disaster
(iv) use for communication.
(b) The slope of a graph of tensile stress against tensile strain represents the modulus of elasticity, also known as Young's modulus. Young's modulus quantifies the stiffness of a material. A steeper slope indicates a stiffer material, while a flatter slope indicates a more flexible material.
