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'.

Briefly answer the following questions. a) A clock is mounted on the wall. As you look at it, what is the direction of the angul

Lelu [443]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) The direction of angular velocity vector of second hand will be along the line going into the plane of dial perpendicular to it.

b ) If the angular acceleration of a rigid body is zero, the angular velocity will remain constant.

c ) If another planet the same size as Earth were put into orbit around the Sun along with Earth the moment of inertia of the system will increase because the mass of the system increases. Moment of inertia depends upon mass and its distribution around the axis.

d ) Increasing the number of blades on a propeller increases the moment of inertia , because both mass and mass distribution around axis of rotation increases.

e ) It is not possible that a body has the same moment of inertia for all possible axes because a body can not remain symmetrical about all axes possible. Sphere has same moment of inertia about all axes passing through its centre.

f ) To maximize the moment of inertia of a flywheel while minimizing its weight, the shape and distribution of mass should be such that maximum mass of the body may be situated at far end of the body from axis of rotation . So flywheel must have thick outer boundaries and this should be

attached with axis with the help of thin rods .

g ) When the body is rotating at the same place , its translational kinetic energy is zero but its rotational energy can be increased

at the same place.

A 5cm tall object is placed 4cm in front of a converging lens that has a focal length of 8cm. Where is the image located in ____

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

a. -8 cm

Explanation:

$d_{o}$ = distance of the object = 4 cm

$d_{i}$ = distance of the image = ?

$f$ = focal length of the converging lens = 8 cm

using the lens equation

$\frac{1}{d_{o}} + \frac{1}{d_{i}} = \frac{1}{f}$

$\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{d_{i}} = \frac{1}{8}$

$d_{i}$ = - 8 cm

How to calculate moments with 3 separate weights of different amounts at different points?

Rina8888 [55]

I don't completely understand your drawing, although I can see that you certainly
did put a lot of effort into making it. But calculating the moment is easy, and we
can get along without the drawing.

Each separate weight has a 'moment'.
The moment of each weight is:

(the weight of it) x (its distance from the pivot/fulcrum) .

That's all there is to a 'moment'.

The lever (or the see-saw) is balanced when (the sum of all the moments
on one side) is equal to (the sum of the moments on the other side).

That's why when you're on the see-saw with a little kid, the little kid has to sit
farther away from the pivot than you do. The kid has less weight than you do,
so he needs more distance in order for his moment to be equal to yours.

What line of code will call force with a value of 10 for mass and a value of 9.81 for acceleration?

Kaylis [27]

Line of code will call force with a value of 10 for mass and a value of 9.81 for acceleration is force(10, 9.81).

<h3 /><h3>Line of code for force and acceleration</h3>

In mechanics, acceleration refers to the rate at which an object's velocity with respect to time varies.
Acceleration is a vector quantity (in that they have magnitude and direction).
The direction of an object's acceleration is determined by the direction of the net force acting on it.
Newton's Second Law states that the combined effect of two factors determines how much an item accelerates.
The size of the net balance of all external forces acting on the object is, in accordance with the materials used to create it.
It inversely proportional to its mass, whereas the magnitude of the net resultant force is directly proportional to the net force.

def force(mass, acceleration):

force_val = mass*acceleration

return force_val

10 is assigned to mass and 9.81 is assigned to acceleration

def force(10, 9.81)

So, Line of code will call force with a value of 10 for mass and a value of 9.81 for acceleration is force(10, 9.81).
