STREAK: The streak (also called "powder color") of a mineral is the color of the powder produced when it is dragged across an un-weathered surface.

CLEAVAGE: Cleavage refers to how some minerals break along flat planes when exposed to stress, such as being hit with a hammer.

How is streak important to identifying a mineral?-

The color of a mineral's powder is often a very important property for identifying the mineral. The streak test is done by scraping a specimen of the mineral across a piece of unglazed porcelain known as a "streak plate." This can produce a small amount of powdered mineral on the surface of the plate.

How is cleavage important to identifying a mineral?-

Cleavages are described in terms of their quality - how smoothly the mineral breaks - and their difficulty - how easy, or how hard, it is to produce the cleavage. The quality of cleavages are perfect, imperfect, distinct, good, fair, and poor. The difficulty is described as easy, hard, and difficult to produce. So, cleavage can be used to identify minerals on the Mohs’ hardness scale.

Un neumático sin cámara, soporta una presión de 1.5 atm cuando la temperatura ambiente es de 300°K. ¿Qué presión llegará a sopor
arlik [135]

Answer:

El neumático soportará una presión de 1.7 atm.

Explanation:

Podemos encontrar la presión final del neumático usando la ecuación del gas ideal:

PV = nRT

En donde:

P: es la presión

V: es el volumen

n: es el número de moles del gas

R: es la constante de gases ideales

T: es la temperatura

Cuando el neumático soporta la presión inicial tenemos:

P₁ = 1.5 atm

T₁ = 300 K

V_{1} = \frac{nRT_{1}}{P_{1}}  (1)  

La presión cuando T = 67 °C es:

P_{2} = \frac{nRT_{2}}{V_{2}}   (2)

Dado que V₁ = V₂  (el volumen del neumático no cambia), al introducir la ecuación (1) en la ecuación (2) podemos encontrar la presión final:

P_{2} = \frac{nRT_{2}}{V_{2}} = \frac{nRT_{2}}{\frac{nRT_{1}}{P_{1}}} = \frac{P_{1}T_{2}}{T_{1}} = \frac{1.5 atm*(67 + 273)K}{300 K} = 1.7 atm  

Por lo tanto, si en el transcurso de un viaje las ruedas alcanzan una temperatura de 67 ºC, el neumático soportará una presión de 1.7 atm.

Espero que te sea de utilidad!

Why does the sky change colors at sunset?
KiRa [710]

Atmospheric refraction is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height. ... Refraction not only affects visible light rays, but all electromagnetic radiation, although in varying degrees.

So in short, the answer is D.

(My answer got deleted because it didnt explain which is dumb)

For the second question you’re solving for resistance. resistance= voltage/ current. 120/0.5= 240. the answer is 240 ohms
for the third question you would do 2*4 since it’s asking for voltage, the answer is 8 volts :)

A Meteorite Strikes On October 9, 1992, a 27-pound meteorite struck a car in Peekskill, NY, leaving a dent 22 cm deep in the tru
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Acceleration of the meteorite, a=-38409.09\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

A Meteorite after striking struck a car, v = 0

Initial speed of the Meteorite, u = 130 m/s

Distance covered by Meteorite, s = 22 cm = 0.22 m

We need to find the magnitude of its deceleration. It can be calculated using the third equation of motion as :

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}

a=\dfrac{-(130)^2}{2\times 0.22}

a=-38409.09\ m/s^2

So, the deceleration of the Meteorite is -38409.09\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.
