2 answers:

A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and a crystalline structure formed by geological processes. A rock is an aggregate of one or more minerals whereas a rock may also include organic remains and mineraloids. some rocks are predominantly composed of just mineral

A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and a crystalline structure formed by geological processes.

A rock is an aggregate of one or more minerals. It may also contain organic remains and mineraloids apart from regular mineral formations. Since rocks vary in their mineral and chemical composition, they are classified according to the process of their formation.

The index of refraction of silicate flint glass for red light is 1.620 and for violet light is 1.660 . A beam of white light in

Sonja [21]

Answer:

10.16 degrees

Explanation:

Apply Snells Law for both wavelenghts

$n_{1}sin\theta_{1} = n_{2}sin\theta_{2}$

For red

(1.620)(sin 25.5) = (1)(sin r)

For red, the angle is 35.45degrees

For violet

(1.660)(sin 25.5) = (1)(sin v)

For violet, the angle is 45.6 degrees

The difference is 45.6- 35.45 = 10.16 degrees

A 392 N wheel comes off a moving truck and rolls without slipping along a highway. At the bottom of a hill it is rotating at 24

alex41 [277]

Answer:

h=12.41m

Explanation:

N=392

r=0.6m

w=24 rad/s

$I=0.8*m*r^{2}$

So the weight of the wheel is the force N divide on the gravity and also can find momentum of inertia to determine the kinetic energy at motion

$N=m*g\\m=\frac{N}{g}\\m=\frac{392N}{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}$

$m=40kg$

moment of inertia

$M_{I}=0.8*40.0kg*(0.6m} )^{2}\\M_{I}=11.5 kg*m^{2}$

Kinetic energy of the rotation motion

$K_{r}=\frac{1}{2}*I*W^{2}\\K_{r}=\frac{1}{2}*11.52kg*m^{2}*(24\frac{rad}{s})^{2}\\K_{r}=3317.76J$

Kinetic energy translational

$K_{t}=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}\\v=w*r\\v=24rad/s*0.6m=14.4 \frac{m}{s}\\K_{t}=\frac{1}{2}*40kg*(14.4\frac{m}{s})^{2}\\K_{t}=4147.2J$

Total kinetic energy

$K=3317.79J+4147.2J\\K=7464.99J$

Now the work done by the friction is acting at the motion so the kinetic energy and the work of motion give the potential work so there we can find height

$K-W=E_{p}\\7464.99-2600J=m*g*h\\4864.99J=m*g*h\\h=\frac{4864.99J}{m*g}\\h=\frac{4864.99J}{392N}\\h=12.41m$

A solid brass cylinder and a solid wood cylinder have the same radius and mass (the wood cylinder is longer). Released together

Lena [83]

Answer:

a. They will be tie

b. Win the wood cylinder

Explanation:

The both cylinders will reach the bottom at the same time notice the relation in the equation in indepent of the length and both have the same radius and the same rotational inertia.

$I=\frac{1}{2}*m*r^2$

$a=\frac{g*sin(\beta)}{1+I_{com}/m*r^2}$

So both will be tie

$a_{brass}=\frac{g*sin(\beta)}{1+I_{brass}/m*r^2}=a_{wood}=\frac{g*sin(\beta)}{1+I_{wood}/m*r^2}$

The acceleration of the wood cylinder is larger than the acceleration of the brass cylinder so the cylinder of wood will reach the bottom first

$a_{brass}$

So the wood win the race
