Aleks [24]3 years ago

Answer:

This property could be used to create technologically-advanced tools or machines that could easily locate the mineral deposits.

Explanation:

Mineral deposits are hard to find, unless you have the skill or the proper tools in locating them. This is the reason why many people are mining in order to explore the different areas where they could find these deposits.

If one would consider the property of minerals, such as being good conductors of heat and electricity,<u> then they could create a tool or machine that would aid in their exploration.</u> Inventors could probably come up with a sensitive detector which signals when it reaches an area of high heat and electric conductivity. Since most minerals such as <em>gold, silver, copper, galena, bornite </em>and the like have this property, then miners will have a lesser amount of time looking for them.

If this technology will be implemented, though, regulation policy must be strictly implemented because it might lead to<em> over-mining</em> thus leading to the depletion of mineral deposits.

A ball is thrown upward at an angle with a speed and direction such that it reaches a maximum height of 16.0 m above the point i
shtirl [24]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of motion for which the height of a particle is defined as a function of gravity as,

v^2 = 2gh

Where,

h = Height

g = Gravity constant

v = Velocity

There is not change in the horizontal component, therefore there is only the component horizontal given (18m/s) and the vertical component:

v^2=2*g*h

v^2=2*9.8*16

v=17.70 m/s

Applying the vector theory to find the magnitude of a vector we have to

|\vec{V}| = \sqrt{17.7^2+18^2}

|\vec{V}| = 25.38m/s

The speed at which the ball was thrown was 25.38

A 0.50-kg toy is attached to the end of a 1.0-m very light string. The toy is whirled in a horizontal circular path on a frictio
Deffense [45]

Answer:

26.5 m/s

Explanation:

The tension in the string provides the centripetal force that keeps the toy in circular motion. So we can write:

T=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where:

T is the tension in the spring

m = 0.50 kg is the mass of the toy

r = 1.0 m is the radius of the circle (the length of the string)

v is the speed of the toy

The maximum tension in the string is

T = 350 N

If we substitute this value into the equation, we find the maximum speed that the mass can have before the string breaks:

v=\sqrt{\frac{Tr}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{(350)(1.0)}{0.50}}=26.5 m/s

With the switch open, roughly what must be the resistance of the resistor on the right for the current out of the battery to be
jeyben [28]

Question:

Assumptions

Voltage of battery = 24 V

Resistance on the right,20Ω parallel to 10 Ω resistor

Answer:

For the current out of the battery to be the same as when the switch was opened with the switch closed, the resistance on the resistor on the right must be approximately 20/3 Ω

Explanation:

We note that the switch in the assumption is on the same line as the 20 Ω resistor.

With a voltage of 24 V, and the switch closed, we have;

Total resistance =  \frac{1}{\frac{1}{10} +\frac{1}{20} } = \frac{20}{3} \Omega

Current out of voltage, I  = Voltage/(total resistance)

= 24 ÷ 20/3 = 24 × 3/20 = 18/5 A

Therefore, with the switch opened, we get

Resistance on the right = Initial total resistance =  \frac{20}{3} \Omega

Therefore, with the switch opened, the resistance on the resistor on the right must be approximately equal to the resultant resistance of the two resistances in parallel.
