2 answers:

8 0

Quartz and Feldspar are the two common minerals in the earths crust

Quartz is hard white or colorless mineral consisting of silicon dioxide, found widely in igneous metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. It is often colored by impurities.

Feldspar is an abundant rock froming mineral typically ocurring as colorless or pale colored crystals and consisting of alluminosilicates of potasium, sodium, and calcium

The one most common mineral is the feldspar, which takes up 60 % of the weight, and the second most common is quartz. Both have silicon and oxygen in them.

Describe briefly with used of practical knowledge the effect of the voltage stores across and current

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Answer in explanation

Explanation:

The path of flow of circuit is called electric circuit. In an electric circuit, resistances are connected in two different ways, which are:

1- Series Combination of Resistances

2- Parallel Combination of Resistances

Series combination of resistances

In series combination resistors are connected end to end, and there is only one path for the flow of current.

Characteristics Of Series Circuit:

1. In series circuit there is only one path for the flow of current.

2. Same amount of current flows through each resistor.

I = I₁ = I₂ = I₃ = In

3. Total voltage of the battery is equal to the sum of voltages across each resistor.

V = V₁ +V₂ + V₃ + ... + Vn

4. In series combination the combined resistance of the resistors can be obtained by adding the value of each resistor.

R = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + … + Rn

Parallel combination of resistances

Resistances are set to be connected in parallel, when each of them is connected directly from the terminals of electric source.

Characteristics Of Series Circuit:

1. There are more than one path for the flow of current.

2. The value of potential difference remains constant on each resistor.

V = V₁ = V₂ = V₃ = Vn

3. Total current is equal to the sum of current passing through each resistor.

I = I₁ + I₂ + I₃ +...+ In

4. Reciprocal of equivalent resistance is equal to the sum of reciprocals of resistances connected in parallel.

1/R = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + 1/R₃ + … + 1/Rn

An ant crawls in a straight line at a constant speed of 0.24 m/s for a distance of 3.0 m, beginning in the corner of a square cl

Talja [164]

Answer:

vavg = 0.37 m/s

Explanation:

The average speed is just the relationship between the total distance traveled, and the total time required for that travel , as follows:

$v_{avg} = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t} (1)$

We know that for the first leg of the journey, the ant crawls at a constant speed of 0.24 m/s, moving 3.0 m.
We can find the time required for this part, just applying the definition of average velocity, and solving for the time t (which we will call t₁), as follows:

$t_{1} =\frac{x_{1}}{v_{1} } = \frac{3.0m}{0.24m/s} = 12.5 s (2)$

From the givens, we know that the time for the second part is exactly the half of the value found in (2), so we can write the total time Δt as follows:

$\Delta t = t_{1} + \frac{t_{1} }{2} = 12.5 s + 6.25 s = 18.75 s (3)$

We also know that in the second leg of the journey, the ant traveled 4.0 m, which adds to the 3.0 m of the first part, making a total distance of 7.0 m.
Per definition of average speed, we can write the following expression as in (1) replacing Δx and Δt by their values, as follows:

$v_{avg} = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t} = \frac{7.0m}{18.75m} = 0.37 m/s (4)$

Describe scarlar and vector quantites of how they are alike and how they are different

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Hello! Here are your answers!

SCALAR: Scalar quantities have a size or magnitude only.

VECTOR: Vector quantities have both magnitudes and direction.

Explanation:

They are alike as they are both used to explain physical quantities and represent the magnitudes or sizes of the physical quantities...

They are different as VECTOR quantities describe an objects DIRECTION as well as magnitude whilst SCALAR doesn't

ie...SCALAR: MASS, TIME

VECTOR: VELOCITY, ACCELERATION...

I HOPE THIS HELPS!!
