Answer: stronger than iron

Explanation: Steel is an alloy of iron mixed with small quantities of carbon. Iron being a pure metal is soft as the atoms can slip over one another due to the presence of free electrons.

Addition of carbon to iron, makes the iron hard as the carbon hinders the movement of atoms past one another. The tensile strength or resistance to break under applied force for steel gets more as compared to iron.

A plate drops onto a smooth floor and shatters into three pieces of equal mass.Two of the pieces go off with equal speeds v at r

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Speed of the this part is given as

$v_3 = \sqrt2 v$

Also the direction of the velocity of the third part of plate is moving along 135 degree with respect to one part of the moving plate

Explanation:

As we know by the momentum conservation of the system

we will have

$P_1 + P_2 + P_3 = P_i$

here we know that

$P_1 = P_2$

the momentum of two parts are equal in magnitude but perpendicular to each other

so we will have

$P_1 + P_2 = \sqrt{P^2 + P^2}$

$P_1 + P_2 = \sqrt2 mv$

now from above equation we have

$P_3 = -(P_1 + P_2)$

$mv_3 = -(\sqrt 2 mv)$

$v_3 = \sqrt2 v$

Also the direction of the velocity of the third part of plate is moving along 135 degree with respect to one part of the moving plate

9. Which of the following statements is true about scientific theories?

AleksAgata [21]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. Scientific theories summarize patterns found in nature. Although, the statement scientific theories are never proven is somewhat true. They are either disproved or they are never disproved. Hope this answers the question.
