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 plane travels 2.5 KM at an angle of 35 degrees to the ground, then changes direction and travels 5.2 km at an angle of 22 degr
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

7.7 km 26°

Explanation:

The total x component is:

x = 2.5 cos(35°) + 5.2 cos(22°) = 6.87

The total y component is:

y = 2.5 sin(35°) + 5.2 sin(22°) = 3.38

The magnitude is:

d = √(x² + y²)

d = 7.7 km

The direction is:

θ = atan(y/x)

θ = 26°

What is the source of all electromagnetic waves?
kherson [118]

Answer:

Accelerating charges.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves produced by the vibration of both electrical and magnetic fields.

This interaction produces an energy source that does not require any medium to propagate.

To produce electromagnetic waves, electric and magnetic fields must be vibrating.

An electric charge produced when vibrating under voltage will produce electromagnetic waves. This is the same for all sources of these waves.

The sun produces electromagnetic waves. A lot of human activities also does this.

2. Two cars A and B are heading forward. The velocity of A and B are 30 m/s and 20 m/s
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

A.) 27000 kgm/s

18000 kgm/s

B.) Va = 22 m/s

C.) 19800 kgm/s

25200 kgm/s

Explanation: Given that the velocity of A and B are 30 m/s and 20 m/s. And of the same mass M = 9 × 10^5g

M = 9×10^5/1000 = 900 kg

A.) Initial momentum of A

Mu = 900 × 30 = 27000 kgm/s

Initial momentum of B

Mu = 900 × 20 = 18000 kgm/s

B.) if they have an accident and then the velocity of the B is 28 m/s, find out velocity of A.

Momentum before impact = momentum after impact

Given that Vb = 28 m/s

27000 + 18000 = 900Va + 900 × 28

45000 = 900Va + 25200

900Va = 45000 - 25200

900Va = 19800

Va = 19800/900

Va = 22 m/s

C.) Momentum of A after impact

MV = 900 × 22 = 19800 kgm/s

Momentum of B after impact

MV = 900 × 28 = 25200 kgm/s
