Question 1 Report

(a) State two uses of a polar satellite.

(b) What does the slope of a graph of tensile stress against tensile strain represent?

Answer Details

(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.
