Why are diamonds so good at cutting things answers?

Physics

Diamonds are so good at cutting things, because they are very hard minerals. They can cut other minerals, but other minerals can’t cut them. Out of all the different kinds of minerals on the Mohs’ hardness scale, diamonds rank right at the top, at the hardness of 10. That means, that they are the hardest out of all of the other minerals. The higher the number, the harder it is to be cut.

If you walk 1.2 km north and then 1.6 km east, what are the magnitude and direction of your resultant displacement?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

B

Assume north and east as two sides of a right angled triangle. magnitude of the distance is then given by the length of the hypotenuse which is \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}

where a = 1.2 km north

and b = 1.6 km east

magnitude = 2 km

Direction is given by the angle between them, that is atan(a/b) = 36.86 deg north of east = 53.1 deg east of north.

A block sliding across a level surface has a mass of 2.5 kg and a mechanical energy of 20 joules. What is its velocity?
tia_tia [17]
Hi!

The energy of the block is 4 m/s

To calculate this, you need to use the equation for kinetic energy. The block is sliding (i.e. it's moving). If the object is sliding across a level surface, the only energy it has is kinetic energy, because there is no change in potential energy (which changes with height). So, the mechanical energy will be pure kinetic energy. The equation is the following, derived from the expression for kinetic energy:

v= \sqrt{ \frac{2*Ke}{m}}=\sqrt{ \frac{2*20 (kg*m^{2}*s^{-2}) }{2,5kg}}=4 m/s

Have a nice day!

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

1,920 Joules

Explanation:

K.E. = 1/2  mv2

so  K.E. =  1/2 (60)(8x8) = 1,920 Joules
