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.

What is the source of all mechanical waves?
frutty [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Vibration.

Explanation:

Mechanical waves is formed by the oscillation of matter and therefore transfer energy from one medium to the other. Unlike electromagnetic waves, mechanical waves need some medium to propagate. It requires an initial energy input and thus carries this energy when it propagates. There are three types of mechanical waves namely transverse waves, longitudinal waves and surface waves. Examples of such waves are sound waves, water waves and seismic waves.

The electrons in the beam of a television tube have an energy of 19.0 keV. The tube is oriented so that the electrons move horiz
igomit [66]

Answer:

The direction is due south

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The energy of the electron is E = 19.0keV = 19.0 *10^3 eV

      The earths magnetic field is B = 42.3 \muT = 42.3 *10^{-6} T

     

Generally the force on the electron is perpendicular to the velocity of the elecrton and the magnetic field and this is mathematically reresented as

          \= F = q (\= v * \=B)

On the first uploaded image is an  illustration of the movement of the electron

    Looking at the diagram  we can see that in terms of direction  the magnetic force  is

             \= F  =q(\=v * \= B)= -( -\r i * - \r k)

                = -(- (\r i * \r k))

generally  i cross k = -j

      so the equation above becomes

             \= F = -(-(- \r j))

                = - \r j

This show that the direction is towards the south

A motorist travels at 270 km in p hours at a certain average speed. an expression for the distance that this motorist travelled
wel
Average speed = total distance / time ⇒ total distance = average speed *  time

Average speed = 270 km / p hours
distance = d
hours = x

d = 270/p * x

PLEASE HELP !!!
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer and Explanation:

The answer is <u>D) Alpha and Gamma</u>

Gamma radiation does not cause transmutations.

A <u>transmutation</u> is the <u>conversion of an atom of one element to an atom of another. This generally occurs through nuclear reacting.</u>

There are three main types of radiation: alpha, beta, and gamma. Both beta and alpha decay cause changes to the mass and atomic numbers. This results in a transmutation. Gamma radiation, however, does not.

Gamma radiation is the result of a gamma ray. In essence, the nucleus emits a high-energy proton. This is very penetrating and can only be stopped by aluminum, lead, soil, water, and concrete. This type of radiation does not change the element and, therefore, does not cause a transmutation.
