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.

How much heat is lost by 2.0 grams of water if the temperature drops from 31 °C to 29 °C? The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/
Elanso [62]

Given :

Mass of water, m = 2 grams.

The temperature of water drops from 31 °C to 29 °C .

The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/(g • °C).

To Find :

Amount of heat lost in this process.

Solution :

We know, heat lost is given by :

Heat\ lost,H = ms( T_f - T_i)\\\\H = 2\times 4.184 \times ( 31 - 29 )\ J\\\\H = 16.736\ J

Therefore, amount of heat lost in this process is 16.736 J.

At a given location from a source charge, the electric field______________.a. strength is dependent on the source charge and the
noname [10]

Answer:

b. The electric field points away from the source charge, if the source charge is positive

d. The electric field points toward the source charge, if the source charge is negative.

Explanation:

A positive source charge would create an electric field that would exert a repulsive effect upon a positive test charge. Thus, the electric field vector would always be directed away from positively charged objects. On the other hand, a positive test charge would be attracted to a negative source charge. Therefore, electric field vectors are always directed towards negatively charged object.

Also electric field strength depends only on test charge

The correct options include b and d

The electric field points away from the source charge, if the source charge is positive.

Also, the electric field points toward the source charge, if the source charge is negative.
