Hardness refers to the strength of the forces holding atoms together in a solid mineral. The Mohs scale will tell how easily a m

ineral can be scratched. It has a range from 1 to 10. Diamonds are a 10 on the Mohs scale. They are the hardest minerals in the world. The color of a mineral is often easy to identify. Many minerals are found in a range of colors. This is true for diamonds also. They can be yellow, brown, blue, green, orange, purple, black, pink, red, or colorless. Colored diamonds have impurities that cause them to change colors. Colorless diamonds, however, are very pure. Luster refers to how a mineral looks when it reflects light. A minerals luster could be metallic, dull, pearly, or adamantine. Diamonds have adamantine luster–their brilliant sparkle. Streak refers to the color of the powder left by a mineral. Streak is often found after a mineral is scratched on a porcelain tile. The color of the streak left on the tile helps to identify the mineral. The streak of a diamond is white.

The weight of an astronaut plus his space suit on the moon is only 291 n. how much (in n) do they weigh on earth? (the accelerat
Oksanka [162]
Weight on the Moon = 291 N.
W = g · m, where m stays for the mass and on the Moon g = 1.67 m/s²
291 N = 1.67 m/s² · m
m = 291 kg m / s² : 1.67 m/s²
m = 174.25 kg
Weight on Earth = 9.81 m/s² · 174.25 kg = 1,709.4 N
Answer:
The weight of an astronaut on Earth is 1,709.4 N.

What is the net force on these free body diagrams?
pentagon [3]

A

The horizontal force cancels out. The two 4Ns go in opposite directions. So they don't affect the outcome.

The Vertical force is 6N up - 2 N down = 4 N Up

Answer 4 N up

B

The horizontal and vertical forces cancel out. Each gives 3N - 3N =0

The net force is 0

C

You only have horizontal forces on this one

5N - 3N = 2N  

The answer is 2N to the right.
