Answer:

Beryllium

Beryllium is an alkaline metallic element that is highly toxic. It is known for its sugary sweet taste and some of its common uses are in X-rays and fluorescent lights.

Beryllium : A very thorough and technical site about this mineral.

Chromite

Chromite is the ore of chromium and is a very hard metal, and diamond is the only thing harder. This hardness is what allows a chrome finish to take a high polish.

Chromite : This site talks about its history and characteristics.

Cobalt

Cobalt is famous for the incredible blue color it imparts to glass and pigment. It has been found in meteorites and is used in invisible ink. It is a brittle metal and resembles iron.

Cobalt : This site has photos, video, charts and physical and atomic descriptions.

Columbite-tantalite

Columbite-tantalite group is a mineral used widely in technology. Electronics, automotive systems and health products like the pacemaker need this mineral to operate. It is mined in Africa and has earned the name of Coltan over the last few years.

Columbite-tantalite : Information about its role in the world under the name 'Coltan'.

Copper

Copper is a common metal throughout the world. It is used for currency, jewelry, plumbing and to conduct electricity. It is a soft, orange-red metal.

Copper : This site talks about its properties, uses and makeup.

which do you think would be warmer on a winter day when there is no wind a thick forest or a grassy field? explain your answer

Tju [1.3M]

I think it would be warmer in a grassy field with no wind on a winter day because you'll have sunlight hitting you. However, if you were in a thick forest, all sunlight would be blocked and you would have no warmth from the sun.

Iron-rich minerals in rock pointed in one direction and then switched to the exact opposite direction. This supports what idea?

NISA [10]

Iron rich minerals in rock pointed in one direction the switch to the exact opposite direction. I'd say that what supports this idea is that Earth's magnetic field goes through pole reversals.

0.4823 m/s

The initial velocity u1 of the ball=0

From the law of conservation of linear momentum.

m1u1+m2u2=m1v1+m2v2

(160×0)+(170×u1)=(160×0.3)+(170×0.2)

u1=0.4823m/s

The x vector component of a displacement vector has a magnitude of 86.2 m and points along the negative x axis. The y vector com

Flauer [41]

Answer:

(a) Magnitude of Vector = 207.73 m

(b) Direction = 65.48°

Explanation:

(a)

The formula to find out the magnitude of a resultant vector with the help of its x and y components is given as follows:

$Magnitude\ of\ Vector = \sqrt{d_{x}^{2} + d_{y}^{2}} = \sqrt{(86.2\ m)^{2} + (189\ m)^{2}}\\\\$

Magnitude of Vector = 207.73 m

(b)

For the direction of the vector we have the formula:

$Direction = tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})\\\\Direction = tan^{-1}(\frac{189\ m}{86.2\ m})\\\\$

Direction = 65.48°

your friend sit in a sked in the snow. if you apply a force of 120 N to them, they have an acceleration of 1.3 m/s2. what is the

levacccp [35]

Need to know the equation for force
F=MA
F is force
M is mass- we need to know the mass
A is acceleration
use "x" for mass
120 N= 1.3x
divide 1.3 in both side
kg unit for mass
X=92.31 kg
or
mass = 92.31 kg
Hope this helps
