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.

A 2.13-kg object on a frictionless horizontal track is attached to the end of a horizontal spring whose force constant is 5.00 N
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

17.54N in -x direction.

Explanation:

Amplitude (A) = 3.54m

Force constant (k) = 5N/m

Mass (m) = 2.13kg

Angular frequency ω = √(k/m)

ω = √(5/2.13)

ω = 1.53 rad/s

The force acting on the object F(t) = ?

F(t) = -mAω²cos(ωt)

F(t) = -2.13 * 3.54 * (1.53)² * cos (1.53 * 3.50)

F(t) = -17.65 * cos (5.355)

F(t) = -17.57N

The force is 17.57 in -x direction

V125BC [204]

Answer:

F = 1.24*10^4 N

Explanation:

Given

Depth of the ship, h = 25 m

Density of water, ρ = 1.03*10^3 kg/m³

Diameter of the hatch, d = 0.25 m

Pressure of air, P(air) = 1 atm

Pressure of water =

P(w) = ρgh

P(w) = 1.03*10^3 * 9.8 * 25

P(w) = 2.52*10^5 N/m²

P(net) = P(w) + P(air) - P(air)

P(net) = P(w)

P(net) = 2.52*10^5 N/m²

Remember,

Pressure = Force / Area, so

Force = Area * Pressure

Area = πr² = πd²/4

Area = 3.142 * 0.25²/4

Area = 3.142 * 0.015625

Area = 0.0491 m²

Force = 0.0491 * 2.52*10^5

F = 12373 N

F = 1.24*10^4 N
