Ludmilka [50]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The International Mineralogical Association (IMA) currently recognizes 5,327 distinct mineral species. Some, such as the major rock-forming silicates and carbonates, are well known and found in abundance the world over. But most are documented based on just a few known occurrences

Stels [109]

A hologram is a physical structure that diffracts light into an image. The term ‘hologram’ can refer to both the encoded material and the resulting image.  A holographic image can be seen by looking into an illuminated holographic print or by shining a laser through a hologram and projecting the image onto a screen. Hope this helps! Oh and here's a good source to use just don't forget to credit the sources you use.

Define power and describe how to determine power. (4 points)
Allushta [10]

Answer: The power is a measure of the rate at which work is done (or similarly, at which energy is transferred). The standard unit of power is Watt (1W). The power is determined by the change in energy, delta E (number of joules) and delta t, which is the time taken in seconds then: P= delta E/ delta t.

Define the following:
belka [17]
Define the following:
Potential energy: In physics, potential energy is the energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors.
Kinetic energy: In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes.
Mechanical energy:
Chemical energy: chemical energy, Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds. Chemical energy may be released during a chemical reaction, often in the form of heat; such reactions are called exothermic. Reactions that require an input of heat to proceed may store some of that energy as chemical energy in newly formed bonds
Sound energy: In physics, sound energy is a form of energy that can be heard by living things. Only those waves that have a frequency of 16 Hz to 20 kHz are audible to humans. However, this range is an average and will slightly change from individual to individual.
Light energy: Light energy is a kind of kinetic energy with the ability to make types of light visible to human eyes. Light is defined as a form of electromagnetic radiation emitted by hot objects like lasers, bulbs, and the sun. Light contains photons which are minute packets of energy.
Nuclear energy: Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions to produce electricity. Nuclear power can be obtained from nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion reactions. Presently, the vast majority of electricity from nuclear power is produced by nuclear fission of uranium and plutonium in nuclear power plants

A migrating bird flew across a lake at an average speed of 18 meters per second. Was the distance that the bird flew across the
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

It cannot be said with 100% guarantee.

Explanation:

Since bird is travelling with 18 meters per second, that means that it covers a distance of 18 meters in 1 second.

for part 1 we convert 20 minutes into seconds, thus, 20 * 60 = 1200 seconds.

Distance covered in 1200 seconds will be:

S = v * t (S is distance , v is speed, t is time)

18 * 1200 = 21600 meters = 21.6 Kilometers

If the bird took less than 20 minutes than distance covered would be less than 21.6 Kilometer which could be greater than or lesser than 21 Kilometers. On average we can say that the distance bird travelled will be less than 21 Kilometer. But it is not definite.

For part B convert 0.4 hours into seconds to find the distance it travelled.

0.4 * 60 * 60 = 1440 seconds

Distance covered will be

18 * 1440 = 25920 meters = 25.9 Kilo meters.

Again, if the bird takes less than 0.4 hours to cover the lake, the lake will be less than 25.9 kilometers long. This means that it could be greater than or lesser than 21 kilometers. It cannot be definitive
