How would you go about separating the components of a mixture of sand, gravel, salt and iron filings

Pour the entire components into water.

First the iron filings can be separated using a magnet as iron is a magnetic element.

By pouring the mixture into water, it allows the salt to dissolve in the water, while the sand will not.

Next we can run this solution through a filtration device to separate the sand from the water.

Now all that's left is to let the water evaporate so that the salt will be exposed that dissolved into the water.

Rays traveling parallel to the principle axis of a concave mirror will reflect out through the mirrors focus?

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

When a ray travelling parallel to the principle axis of a concave mirror then the light ray reflect out through the mirrors and passing through the focus.

When a light ray travelling through focus of a concave mirror then after reflection the light ray reflect out through the mirror and go parallel to principle axis.

Therefore, rays travelling parallel to the principle axis of a concave mirror will reflect out through the mirrors focus.

It is true.

<h3>What is Potential and Kinetic energy?</h3>

Potential energy is the energy that is stored in any item or system as a result of its location or component arrangement. The environment outside of the object or system, such as air or height, has no impact on it. In contrast, kinetic energy refers to the energy of moving particles inside a system or an item.

mass of rod, mab = 2.4kg

mass of rod, mbc = 4kg

conservation of energy

$T_{1} + V_{1} = T_{2} + V_{2}$

$h_{ab} = h_{bc} = 0.18m$

potential energy at position 1,

$V1 = m_{ab} gh_{ab} + m_{bc} gh_{bc}$

V1 = 2.5 * 9.81 * 0.18 + 4 * 9.81 * 0.18

V1 = 11.30112

kinetic energy T1 at position 1 is zero

potential energy at position 2 is zero

K.E at position 2,

$T_{2} = \frac{1}{2} l_{ab} w^{2}_{ab} + \frac{1}{2} m_{bc} v^{2}_{G} + \frac{1}{2} lw^{2}_{bc}$

$l_{ab} =\frac{m_{ab} l^{2}_{ab} }{3}$

= 1/3 *4 * (0.36)²

=0.10368kg m²

$l =\frac{m_{bc} l^{2}_{bc} }{12}$

= 1/12 *4 * (0.6)²

=0.12kg m²

on putting the values in above equation we get,

T₂ = 1.0667vb²

0 + 11.30112 = 1.0667vb² + 0

vb = 3.2549 m/s

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The nuclear energy is defined as a type of energy which liberates either by the process of nuclear fusion or nuclear fission and is mainly used to generate electricity. This energy is stored in the core of an atom (or nucleus).

It is highly effective, cost-effective and there is no emission of greenhouse gases.

But it also has some disadvantages, of which one is that it produces radioactive waste materials, which are difficult to dispose these substances and is also a very expensive method. These materials emit radiations that are harmful to the organisms. So, it is very challenging to dispose these radioactive waste materials.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
