How is specific gravity or density used in identifying minerals

1 answer:

7 0

<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 -5.0 μC charge experiences a 11 i^ N electric force in a certain electric field. [Recall that i^ is a unit vector in the x-dir

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

$\vec{F}= -3.52\times 10^{-13}\hat{i}\ N$

Explanation:

given,

charge = -5.0 μC

Electric force, F = 11 i^ N

force would a proton experience = ?

we know

$\vec{F} = q \vec{E}$

$11\hat{i} = -5 \times 10^{-6} \vec{E}$

$\vec{E} =-2.2 \times 10^{6}\hat{i}$

we know charge of proton is equal to 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

using formula

$\vec{F} = q \vec{E}$

$\vec{F}= 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\times -2.2 \times 10^{6}\hat{i}$

$\vec{F}= -3.52\times 10^{-13}\hat{i}\ N$

Force experienced by the photon in the same field is equal to $\vec{F}= -3.52\times 10^{-13}\hat{i}\ N$

A race car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to 69 mph in 4.5 s.

Marizza181 [45]

For this question we should apply
a = v^2 - u^2 by t
a = 69 - 0 by 4.5
a = 69 by 4.5
a = 15.33
a = 6.85 m/s^2

If the answer in option is near to answer then , you can mark it as correct.
.:. The acceleration is 6.9 m/s^2

A car of mass 1000 kg is moving at 25 m/s. It collides with a car of mass 1200 kg moving at 30 m/s. When the cars collide, they

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The total momentum of the cars before the collision is 61,000 kg.m/s

The total momentum of the cars after the collision is 61,000 kg.m/s

The velocity of the cars after the collision is 27.727 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first car, m₁ = 1000 kg

initial velocity of the car, u₁ = 25 m/s

mass of the second car, m₂ = 1200 kg

initial velocity of the second car, u₂ = 30 m/s

The common velocity of the cars after collision = v

The total momentum of the cars before collision is calculated as;

P₁ = m₁u₁ + m₂u₂

P₁ = (1000 x 25) + (1200 x 30)

P₁ = 61,000 kg.m/s

The total momentum of the cars after collision is calculated as;

P₂ = m₁v + m₂v

where;

v is the common velocities of the cars after collision since they stick together.

P₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

To determine "v" apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum for inelastic collision.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

(1000 x 25) + (1200 x 30) = v(1000 + 1200)

61,000 = 2,200v

v = 61,000/2,200

v = 27.727 m/s

The total momentum after collsion = v(m₁ + m₂)

= 27.727(1000 + 1200)

= 61,000 kg.m/s

Thus, momentum before and after collsion are equal.

If electric lights are an accurate gauge of electricity usage, what areas use the most electricity?

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Places like cities

Explanation:

Cities have more necessities when it comes to technology like live TV, technology companies, electric companies, homes in cities for things like the TV, AC, more luxurious stuff, and I can't even list more because there are so many technological reasons they use, well, technology.

It all comes down to logic and thinking.
