Answer:

Option D

A mineral’s color reflects the wavelengths of light that are absorbed by the mineral.

Explanation:

Color is one of the physical properties of minerals. Many minerals have a wide range of colors but there are some minerals with one consistent color and such minerals are referred as monochromatic minerals for example azurite. Normally, the streak color tends to be less variable than the color of the whole mineral and impurities or minor chemical components in a mineral react and often control the display color of resultant mineral. Option D is incorrect since mineral's color don't reflect wavelengths of light absorbed by such minerals.

A medium-sized jet has a 3.8-mm-diameter fuselage and a loaded mass of 85,000 kg. The drag on an airplane is primarily due to th
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

F_{thrust} ≅ 111 KN

Explanation:

Given that;

A medium-sized jet has a 3.8-mm-diameter i.e diameter (d) = 3.8

mass = 85,000 kg

drag co-efficient (C) = 0.37

(velocity (v)= 230 m/s

density (ρ) = 1.0 kg/m³

To calculate the thrust; we need to determine the relation of the drag force; which is given as:

F_{drag} = \frac{1}{2} × CρAv²

where;

ρ = density of air wind.

C = drag co-efficient

A = Area of the jet

v = velocity of the jet

From the question, we can deduce that the jet is in motion with a constant speed; as such: the net force acting on the jet in the air = 0

SO, F_{drag}-F_{thrust} = 0

We can as well say:

F_{drag}= F_{thrust}

We can now replace F_{thrust} with F_{drag} in the above equation.

Therefore, F_{thrust} = \frac{1}{2} × CρAv²

The A which stands as the area of the jet is given by the formula:

A=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}

We can now have a new equation after substituting our A into the previous equation as:

F_{thrust} = \frac{1}{2} × Cρ (\frac{\pi d^2}{4})v^2

Substituting our data from above; we have:

F_{thrust} = \frac{1}{2} × (0.37)(1.0kg/m^3)(\frac{\pi(3.8m)^2 }{4})(230m/s)^2

F_{thrust} = \frac{1}{8}   (0.37)(1.0kg/m^3)({\pi(3.8m)^2 })(230m/s)^2

F_{thrust} = 110,990N

F_{thrust}  in N (newton) to KN (kilo-newton) will be:

F_{thrust} = (110,990N)*\frac{1KN}{1,000N}

F_{thrust} = 110.990 KN

F_{thrust} ≅ 111 KN

In conclusion, the jet engine needed to provide 111 KN thrust in order to cruise at 230 m/s at an altitude where the air density is 1.0 kg/m³.

Write the chemical equation of the polymerization reaction to synthesize PS
marin [14]

Explanation:

Styrene is  a vinyl monomer in which there is a carbon carbon double bond.

The polymerization of the styrene, which is initiated by using a free radical which reacts with the styrene and the compound thus forms react again and again to form polystyrene (PS).

The equation is shown below as:

\begin{matrix}& C_6H_5 \\&|\\n H_2C & =CH\end{matrix}        ⇒                \begin{matrix}&C_6H_5 \\&|\\ -[-H_2C & -CH-]-_n\end{matrix}

For laminar flow over a hot flat plate, the local heat transfer coefficient decreases with distance because (select all that are
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

B. The thickness of the heated region near the plate is increasing.

Explanation:

First we know that, a boundary layer is the layer of fluid in the immediate vicinity of a bounding surface where the effects of viscosity are significant. The fluid is often slower due to the effects of viscosity. Advection i.e the transfer of heat by the flow of liquid becomes less since the flow is slower, thereby the local heat transfer coefficient decreases.

From law of conduction, we observe that heat transfer rate will decrease based on a smaller rate of temperature, the thickness therefore increases while the local heat transfer coefficient decreases with distance.
