How is specific gravity or density used in identifying​ minerals

Physics

<span>In summary, density and specific gravity are properties used to help identify minerals. Density is a measure of the mass of a certain volume of the sample. Specific gravity is a unitless measure, and it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of an equal volume of water.</span>

A 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S goes from 0-27 m/s in 2.5 seconds. What is the car's acceleration?
Natalka [10]

Answer:

-10.8m/s^2

Explanation:

a=change in velocity/change in time

-27 m/s/2.5=10.8m/s^2

or if its not negative

27m/s/2.5=10.8m/s^2

An object has a weight of 9 n when it is in air and 7.2 n when it is submerged into water. what is the specific gravity of the o
White raven [17]

The specific gravity of the object’s material is 5.09.

<h3>To calculate the specific gravity of the object:</h3>

Weight difference = 9 - 7.2 = 1.8 N = Buoyant force of water

Buoyant Force in water(Fb) = density of water x g x volume of the   body(Vb)

1.8 = 1000 x 9.81 x Vb

Vb = 1.8/9810 cubic meter

Now, in the air;

Weight of body = mg = 9 N

Mass of body,m = 9/9.81 Kg

So,

Density of body = m/ Vb

= 9/9.81 ÷ 1.8/9810

= 5094.44 kg per cubic meter

The specific gravity of body = density of body ÷ density of water

= 5094.44 ÷ 1000

= 5.09

Therefore, Specific gravity of body = 5.09
