Answer: 5.5
Explanation:
Let's start by explaining that hardness is a property that materials have related to the opposition or resistance they offer to alterations such as penetration, abrasion, scratching, cutting, and permanent deformations, among others.
In this context, several hardness scales have been developed to catalog the materials (specifically minerals), being the Mohs scale the best known. This scale, proposed by the German geologist Friedrich Mohs in 1825, consists of a ratio of ten minerals numbered in increasing order by hardness, from least to greatest.
This is how the scale starts at 1 with the talc (considered the softest material) and ends at 10 with the diamond as the hardest.
Now, if we are told that the glass is in the middle of the hardness scale that goes from 1 to 10, logically its value will be 5 (volcanic glass). However, according to the scale, the glass is at 5.5.
Cool down the Slowest
B. Seawater, because it heats up slower and gives away heat slower than sand.
Read the question wrong the first time
States that particles are attracts with every other particle. wich force is directily proportional product of two masses and inversely proportional to the distance between the centers.
Answer:
Explanation:
The rate of change in volume is proportional to the surface area:
dV/dt = kA
Integrating:
V = kAt + C
At t=0, V = s, so:
s = kA(0) + C
C = s
Therefore:
V = kAt + s
No, it will only melt if the temperature is lowered. If you compress it, it will change the shape, but it will not change the state it is in (i.e. solid).
