Answer:

On the basis of physical and chemical properties, pyrite can be differentiated from real gold.

Explanation:

Some properties which can be used to differentiate pyrite from real gold are given below:

i) Real gold is made of same kind of atoms while pyrite is made of combinations of atoms like Iron and Sulphur.

ii) Pyrite is lighter in color than real gold.

iii) When we heat pyrite and real gold, both show different colors at higher temperatures.  

iv) Pyrite is less dense and harder than real gold.

v) Real gold has weight 1.5 times than that of pyrite.

. Which of the following are forces that push upward on an indoor skydiver? Choose all that apply. *
SpyIntel [72]

The forces that push upward on an indoor skydiver are lift force and air resistance.

The forces that act on a skydiver moving downwards includes, gravity due to his weight, air resistance and lift force.

The downward forces on the indoor skydiver include the following;

  • <em>gravity due to its weight</em>
  • <em>downward force due its acceleration</em>

<em />

The upward force on the indoor skydiver include the following;

  • <em>lift force</em>
  • <em>air resistance</em>

Thus, we can conclude that the forces that push upward on an indoor skydiver are lift force and air resistance.

A simple pendulum consists of a small object of mass 1.70 kg hanging at the end of a 2.50 m long light string that is connected
kompoz [17]

Answer:  3.63 Nm

Explanation:

from the question we were given the following

mass = 1.7 kg

length of the string (r) = 2.5 ,m

angle θ = 5 degrees

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s

we can calculate the torque using the formula Torques = m x g x r x sin θ

torque = 1.7 x 9.8 x 2.5 x sin 5

torque = 3.63 Nm

Work and Energy
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

a) W_1 = 2332 J, W_2= 2332 J

The work done by the student in each trial is equal to the gravitational potential energy gained by the student:

W=mg\Delta h

where

m = 68 kg is the mass of the student

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

\Delta h is the gain in height of the student

For the first student, \Delta h = 3.5 m, so the work done is

W_1 = (68)(9.8)(3.5)=2332 J

The second student runs up to the same height (3.5 m), so the work done by the second student is the same:

W_2 = (68)(9.8)(3.5)=2332 J

2) P_1 = 204.6 W, P_2 = 274.4 W

The power exerted by each student is given by

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W is the work done

t is the time taken

For the first student, W_1 = 2332 J and t=11.4 s, so the power exerted is

P_1 = \frac{W_1}{t_1}=\frac{2332 J}{11.4 s}=204.6 W

For the second student, W_2 = 2332 J and t=8.5 s, so the power exerted is

P_2 = \frac{W_2}{t_2}=\frac{2332 J}{8.5 s}=274.4 W

Which body is in equilibrium?
zloy xaker [14]

Which body is in equilibrium?

(1) a satellite orbiting Earth in a circular orbit .  No.  The forces on it are unbalanced.  There's only one force acting on it ... the force of gravity, pulling it toward the center of the Earth.  That's a centripetal force, and the satellite is experiencing centripetal acceleration.

(2) a ball falling freely toward the surface of Earth.  No.  The forces on it are unbalanced.  There's only one force acting on it ... the force of gravity, pulling it toward the center of the Earth.  The ball is accelerating toward the ground.  

<em> (3) a car moving with a constant speed along a  straight, level road.  YES.</em> We don't even need to analyze the forces, just look at the car.  It's moving in a straight line, and its speed is not changing.  The car's acceleration is zero !  That  right there tells us that the NET force ... the sum of all forces acting on the car ... is zero.  THAT's called 'equilibrium'.

(4) a projectile at the highest point in its trajectory.  No.  The forces on it are unbalanced.  There's only one force acting on it ... the force of gravity, pulling it toward the center of the Earth.  The projectile is accelerating toward the ground.
