Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along smooth planes parallel to zones of weak bonding. Fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break along curved surfaces without a definite shape. These minerals do not have planes of weakness and break irregularly.

Its when you cut/break a mineral and the break is flat

ex. this is what it would look like after it has broke.

Answer:

$a=3125000 m/s^2\\a=3.125*10^6 m/s^2$

Acceleration, in m/s, of such a rock fragment = $3.125*10^6m/s^2$

Explanation:

According to Newton's Third Equation of motion

$V_f^2-V_i^2=2as$

Where:

$V_f$ is the final velocity

$V_i$ is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance

In our case:

$V_f=V_{escape}, V_i=0,s=4 m$

So Equation will become:

$V_{escape}^2-V_i^2=2as\\V_{escape}^2-0=2as\\V_{escape}^2=2as\\a=\frac{V_{escape}^2}{2s}\\a=\frac{(5*10^3m)^2}{2*4}\\a=3125000 m/s^2\\a=3.125*10^6 m/s^2$

Acceleration, in m/s, of such a rock fragment = $3.125*10^6m/s^2$

The answer to your question would be team C, because the lifted the most weight in the shortest time. Team A might have been the fastest team but the also lifted the least amount of weight. And team B lifted a good amount of weight but they also did it the slowest.
