Why are diamonds so good at cutting things answers?

lesya692 [45]3 years ago

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 2000 kg car experiences a constant braking force
Marat540 [252]
In that case, there are three possible scenarios:

-- If the braking force is less than the force delivered by the engine,
then the car will continue to accelerate, and the brakes will eventually
overheat and erupt in flame.

-- If the braking force is exactly equal to the force delivered by the engine,
then the car will continue moving at a constant speed, and the brakes will
eventually overheat and erupt in flame.

-- If the braking force is greater than the force delivered by the engine,
then the car will slow down and eventually stop.  If it stops soon enough,
then the absorption of kinetic energy by the brakes will end before the
brakes overheat and erupt in flame.  Even if the engine is still delivering
force, the brakes can be kept locked in order to keep the car stopped ...
They do not absorb and dissipate any energy when the car is motionless.

A 3.9 kg ball traveling towards a soccer player at a velocity of -3.5 m/s rebounds off the soccer player's foot at a velocity of
Tresset [83]

Answer: 2.92 s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of ball is m=3.9\ kg

The initial velocity of the ball is u=-3.5\ m/s

Velocity after the rebound is v=15.9\ m/s

Force during the contact is F=25.9\ N

We know, change in momentum is Impulse

\Rightarrow F\cdot \Delta t=m(\Delta v)

\Rightarrow 25.9\cdot \Delta t=3.9(15.9-(-3.5))\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta t=\dfrac{3.9\times 19.4}{25.9}=2.92\ s

Thus, the force is applied for 2.92 s

The air that flows over the top part of an airplane's wing moves faster than the air that flows across the bottom. This faster m
kaheart [24]
As an airplane moves through the air, its wings cause changes in the speed and pressure of the air moving past them. These changes result in the upward force called lift.

The Bernoulli principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in the pressure exerted by the fluid.

A wing is shaped and tilted so the air moving over it moves faster than the air moving under it. As air speeds up, its pressure goes down. So the faster-moving air above exerts less pressure on the wing than the slower-moving air below. The result is an upward push on the wing—lift!

Two charged objects are 1 meter apart. Calculate the magnitude of the electric force between them if the two charges are +1.0 μC
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

0.00899 N

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges is given by the equation:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where:

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

q_1, q_2 are the charges

r is the distance between the two charges

And the force is:

- Repulsive if the two charges have same sign

- Attractive if the two charges have opposite sign

In this problem we have:

q_1=1.0\mu C = 1.0\cdot 10^{6}C (charge of object 1)

q_2=1.0\mu C = 1.0\cdot 10^{6}C (charge of object 2)

r = 1 m (separation between the objects)

So, the electric force is

F=(8.99\cdot 10^9)\frac{(1.0\cdot 10^{-6})^2}{1^2}=0.00899 N
