Answer:

Streak of a mineral is used to identify a specific mineral.

Explanation:

Streak of a mineral is a color of a particular mineral in its powder form. Geologist carry out "Streak Test" to identify the mineral type by its color. Here's how:

For example: we have a mineral like Hematite which consists several different specimens in it and each specimen possess different colors like black, red, brown or silver. But all of these specimens gives a combined streak of reddish color which is a characteristic of Hematite Mineral.

Answer:

a. 11 m/s at 76° with respect to the original direction of the lighter car.

Explanation:

In this exercise, since both cars make a right angle, let's assume that the lighter car only has a horizontal velocity component (vx) and that the heavier one only has a vertical velocity component (vy). The final velocities for both components for the system can be determined as:

$m_{1} v_{x1}+m_{2}v_{x2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v_{fx}\\m_{1} v_{y1}+m_{2}v_{y2} =(m_{1}+m_{2})v_{fy}$

Assume that the lighter car has a 1kg mass and that the heavier car has a 4 kg mass.

$1*13 + 4*0 = (1+4) v_{fx}\\v_{fx}=\frac{13}{5} =2.6\\1*0 + 4*13 = (1+4) v_{fy}\\v_{fy}=\frac{13*4}{5} =10.4\\$

The magnitude of the final velocity of the wreck can be found as:

$v_{f}^{2}= v_{fx}^{2}+ v_{fy}^{2}\\v_{f}=\sqrt[]{2.6^{2} + 10.4^{2}} \\v_{f}= 10.72$

The final velocity has an intensity of roughly 11 m/s

As for the angle, it can be determined in respect to the lighter car (x axis) as follows:

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{v_{fx} }{v_{f}} )\\\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{2.6}{10.7} )\\\theta = 76^{o}$

Therefore, the wreck has a velocity with an intensity of 11 m/s at 76° with respect to the original direction of the lighter car.

A metal can containing condensed mushroom soup has mass 215 g, height 10.8 cm, and diameter 6.38 cm. It is placed at rest on its

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Part a)

Moment of inertia of the cylinder is given as

$I = 1.21 \times 10^{-4} kg m^2$

Part B)

Height of the cylinder is of no use here to calculate the inertia

Part C)

Since we don't know about the viscosity data of the soup inside the cylinder so we can't say directly about the moment of inertia of the cylinder as $I = 1/2 mR^2$

Explanation:

As we know that the inclined plane is of length L = 3 m

and its inclination is given as 25 degree

so we know that acceleration of center of mass of the cylinder is constant so we will have

$v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2 a L$

so we have

$v_f^2 = 0 + 2a(3)$

now we know that

$v_{avg} = \frac{L}{t} = \frac{v_f + v_i}{2}$

$\frac{3}{1.50} = \frac{v_f + 0}{2}$

$v_f = 4 m/s$

Now we have know that final speed of the cylinder due to pure rolling is given as

$v_f = \sqrt{\frac{2gH}{1 + \frac{I}{mR^2}}}$

$4 = \sqrt{\frac{2(9.81)(3 sin25)}{1 + \frac{I}{0.215(0.0319)^2}}}$

$I = 1.21 \times 10^[-4} kg m^2$

Part B)

Height of the cylinder is of no use here to calculate the inertia

Part C)

Since we don't know about the viscosity data of the soup inside the cylinder so we can't say directly about the moment of inertia of the cylinder as $I = 1/2 mR^2$

Find the voltage across the 15 Q resistor. [?] V No links please

Margaret [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

same idea as before Liam, first, find the parallel resistance in 35 || 20

(35*20) / (35+20) = 700 / 55 = 12.727272 ohms

now add the 12.727272 + 15 = 27.727272 ohms total resistance

V = IR

10 = I * 27.727272

10 / 27.727272 = I

0.360655 = I

V = IR (again, but across the 15 ohm resistor)

V = 0.360655 * 15

V = 5.4098

What would the circuit resistance be if a 7.5 Amp draw was present with the engine running and the charging system producing 15

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

2 ohms

Explanation:

Hi there!

Ohm's law states that $V=IR$ where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance.

Plug in the given information (I=7.5, V=15) and solve for R

$V=IR\\15=(7.5)R$

Divide both sides by 7.5 to isolate R

$\frac{15}{7.5}= \frac{7.5R}{7.5} \\2=R$

Therefore, the circuit resistance would be 2 ohms.

I hope this helps!

A star is located at a distance of about 100 million light years from Earth. An astronomer plans to measure the distance of the

nlexa [21]

d. The parallaxes beyond a few thousand light years are
too small to be measured with common instruments.

I'm not sure that parallax can even be used out to a few
thousand light years.

The NEAREST star to Earth has the BIGGEST parallax.
The star is Alpha Centauri. It's only 4 light years away
from us, and its parallax is 0.000206 of a degree !
I have no idea how astronomers can measure angles
so small ... and that's the BIGGEST parallax angle of
ANY star.
