The kinetic molecular theory explains that all matter is composed of particles constantly moving in random directions. These particles are gaseous particles. When a particle has the freedom to move freely in its surrounding without care of the bonding between them, they are gaseous particles.

Glass has a hardness that is in the middle of the hardness scale. What is the hardness of Glass?
sweet [91]

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.

A toy car having mass m = 1.10 kg collides inelastically with a toy train of mass M = 3.55 kg. Before the collision, the toy tra
kkurt [141]

Answer:

V_{ft}= 317 cm/s

ΔK = 2.45 J

Explanation:

a) Using the law of the conservation of the linear momentum:

P_i = P_f

Where:

P_i=M_cV_{ic} + M_tV_{it}

P_f = M_cV_{fc} + M_tV_{ft}

Now:

M_cV_{ic} + M_tV_{it} = M_cV_{fc} + M_tV_{ft}

Where M_c is the mass of the car, V_{ic} is the initial velocity of the car, M_t is the mass of train, V_{fc} is the final velocity of the car and V_{ft} is the final velocity of the train.

Replacing data:

(1.1 kg)(4.95 m/s) + (3.55 kg)(2.2 m/s) = (1.1 kg)(1.8 m/s) + (3.55 kg)V_{ft}

Solving for V_{ft}:

V_{ft}= 3.17 m/s

Changed to cm/s, we get:

V_{ft}= 3.17*100 = 317 cm/s

b) The kinetic energy K is calculated as:

K = \frac{1}{2}MV^2

where M is the mass and V is the velocity.

So, the initial K is:

K_i = \frac{1}{2}M_cV_{ic}^2+\frac{1}{2}M_tV_{it}^2

K_i = \frac{1}{2}(1.1)(4.95)^2+\frac{1}{2}(3.55)(2.2)^2

K_i = 22.06 J

And the final K is:

K_f = \frac{1}{2}M_cV_{fc}^2+\frac{1}{2}M_tV_{ft}^2

K_f = \frac{1}{2}(1.1)(1.8)^2+\frac{1}{2}(3.55)(3.17)^2

K_f = \frac{1}{2}(1.1)(1.8)^2+\frac{1}{2}(3.55)(3.17)^2

K_f = 19.61 J

Finally, the change in the total kinetic energy is:

ΔK = Kf - Ki = 22.06 - 19.61 = 2.45 J

A piece of wood is floating in a bathtub. A second piece of wood sits on top of the first piece, and does not touch the water. I
Fofino [41]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Water level remains unchanged

The first thing to realize is that the buoyancy force is the same as, or equal to the weight of the wood, this same force is also the same as or equal to the weight of the water displaced by the wood. In the two cases, the weight of the wood will be unaffected nonetheless, and thus the water level will remain the same.

Therefore, the answer is B, the water level remains unchanged.

Which compound is an example of a binary ionic compound?
Mrrafil [7]
C, Since binary ionic compound is only of 2 elements. Mg is ionic and so i F so thats it. H20 is covalent B is more than 1 element, D looks dodgy, nah its dat ionic compunds wouldnt form big ones like SF (6)
