Why are diamonds so good at cutting things answers?

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.

A space station consists of two donut-shaped living chambers, A and B, that have the radii shown in the drawing. As the station
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
The angle subtended by the arc of movement of both chambers is the same. Thus:
S = r∅, for chamber A:

2.3 x 10² = 3.2 x 10² ∅
∅ = 0.72 rad

∅ is the same for B so:
S = 1.1 x 10³ x 0.72
S = 7.92 x 10² m

A student wants to use a ramp to move boxes into a truck bed that is 3 m high. He has a choice of 2 different ramps. The length
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

B. 8 m, because he has to apply less force over a greater distance

Explanation:

In the given question, in order for the student to lift the boxes onto the tuck with less amount of force, he applies the principle of Mechanical Advantage

The mechanical advantage is given by the measure by which a force is amplified through the use of a tool

Given that the work done = The force × The distance, we have

F₁ × d₁ = F₂ × d₂, which gives;

d₁/d₂ = F₂/F₁

Where;

F₁ = The input force

F₂ = The output force

d₁ = The input distance

d₂ = The output distance

The Mechanical advantage, MA = d₁/d₂ = F₂/F₁

Therefore, when the input distance is increased the input force will be reduced for a given output force

What structure help support plants
natka813 [3]
The cell structure that helps support plants is the cell wall. It provides a shell structure around the main cell of the plant and its layers so then it will have the adequate amount of strength that it needs. It's also one of the reasons why even non-woody plants such as herbs have the strength of support itself.

What is the mass of a bird if it has a potential energy of 147J when flying at a height of 30 m above the ground?
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

0.5kg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Potential energy = 147J

Height  = 30m

Unknown:

Mass of the bird  = ?

Solution:

Potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body. Now, the expression for finding the potential energy is given as;

      P.E  = mgH

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

H is the height

      147  = m x 9.8 x 30

         m = 0.5kg
