Question

A rock is stuck deep in the dirt. When you pull on the rock to remove it, what type of force are you exerting?

A.Compression
B.Strong nuclear force
C.Tension
D.Air resistance

Answer 1

It is Tension as the other 3 answer choices would not make sense. Compression would mean you are pressing the rock on both sides or in this case, pushing it into the dirt. It can't be nuclear force as you are pulling out a rock. Air resistance would not make sense either as there is no air involved in the scenario at all.

Answer 2

C). Tension Force

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the different forces will act at different situations

A) Compression : here when compression occurs then the force is applied along the length of the object due to which its length will contract and it will apply force linearly.

B) Strong Nuclear Force : This only occurs are nuclear level when nuclei comes closer to each other then only this force will exert and it will be the strongest force.

C). Tension : This force will occur when we pull an object and there is no change in the length of the object. So tension force will be the force when there is a pull.

D) Air resistance : this force is due to opposite force of air molecules due to which it resist the motion of object
