Answer:

Explanation:

The calcite Crystal can be identified by carrying out an acid test on it. This is done by bringing it in contact with a weak acid which cause crack in it structure. Hence a little of carbondioxide gas is released.

Since diamond is the hardest object,it can be identified on a Mohs scale. Likewise it can be tested by bringing it in contact with a newspaper, if the letters on the paper are not seen, that shows it is a pure diamond.

Window glass is identified by the code on it.

While Quartz Crystal is identified by scratch test. When it is used to scratch all other softer stones and metal, it leaves mark on them.

In science, a broad idea that has been repeatedly verified so as to give scientists great confidence that it represents reality
Colt1911 [192]

In science, a broad idea that has been repeatedly verified so as to give scientists great confidence that it represents reality is called "a theory".

<u>Explanation:</u>

In science, the interpretation of a feature of the organic world that can be tested in repeat manner and analysed by applying agreed tests validation methods, calculation and observation in according to the scientific method, such process is called as a theory in science.

The difference lie between a theory and a hypothesis. Because hypothesis is an "educated guess". Overall it is either a proposed interpretation of an observed phenomenon, or a logical inference of a possible causal association between several phenomena.

A 2400W electric toaster is connected to a standard 120 V wall outlet. A family
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

1)  energy = 15.6 kWh,  2)    total_cost = $ 2.03

Explanation:

1) The energy dissipated is the product of the power and the time of use In a month it was used t = 6.5 h and the power of the toaster is

P = 2400 W = 2,400 kW

       energy = P  t

       energy = 2,400  6.5

        energy = 15.6  kWh

using rounding to a decimal

        energy = 15.6 kWh

2) The cost of energy is unit_cost = $ 0.13 / kWh

so the total cost

         total_cost = energy    unit_cost

         total_cost = 15.6   0.13

         total_cost = $ 2.028  

rounding to two decimal places

         total_cost = $ 2.03

A rocket sled accelerates from 10 m/s to 40 m/s in 2 seconds. What is the average acceleration of the sled?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

15m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 10m/s

Final velocity  = 40m/s

Time taken  = 2s

Unknown:

Average acceleration  = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time;

 Acceleration  = \frac{Final velocity   -  Initial velocity }{time}  

  Acceleration = \frac{40 - 10}{2}    = 15m/s²

Compared to the weak nuclear force the electromagnetic force
Crazy boy [7]

Explanation:

Weak nuclear force:

The interaction between the subatomic particles is called weak nuclear force.

The weak nuclear force is one of the four fundamental forces.

The weak nuclear force is effective at very short distance.

The range and relative strength of weak nuclear force is 10⁻¹⁸ m and 10²⁵ with respect to gravitational force respectively

Deuterium is formed due to the fusion of protons and neutrons under the action the weak force.

Example : Beta decay

Electromagnetic force:  

The interaction between the charged particles is called electromagnetic force.

The electromagnetic force is one of the four fundamental forces.

The electromagnetic force is effective at long range distance.  

The range and relative strength of electromagnetic force is infinity and 10³⁶ with respect to gravitational force respectively

Example : light

How long would it take an object to reach the ground from the top of a building that is 470 feet tall? Round to the nearest tent
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

It would take the object 5.4 s to reach the ground.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of the height of a free-falling object at any given time, neglecting air resistance, is the following:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Where:

h = height of the object at time t.

h0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-32.2 ft/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

t = time

Let´s supose that the object is dropped and not thrown so that v0 = 0. Then:

h = h0 + 1/2 · g · t²

We have to find the time at which h = 0:

0 = 470 ft - 1/2 · 32.2 ft/s² · t²

Solving for t:

-470 ft = -16.1 ft/s² · t²

-470 ft / -16.1 ft/s² = t²

t = 5.4 s
