Answer: 5.5

Explanation:

Let's start by explaining that hardness is a property that materials have related to the opposition or resistance they offer to alterations such as penetration, abrasion, scratching, cutting, and permanent deformations, among others.

In this context, several hardness scales have been developed to catalog the materials (specifically minerals), being the Mohs scale the best known. This scale, proposed by the German geologist Friedrich Mohs in 1825, consists of a ratio of ten minerals numbered in increasing order by hardness, from least to greatest.

This is how the scale starts at 1 with the talc (considered the softest material) and ends at 10 with the diamond as the hardest.

Now, if we are told that the glass is in the middle of the hardness scale that goes from 1 to 10, logically its value will be 5 (volcanic glass). However, according to the scale, the glass is at 5.5.

A 5 cm spring is suspended with a mass of 3.8589 g attached to it which extends the spring by 1.5747 cm. The same spring is plac

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

charges of the beads is 1.173 × $10^{-15}$ C

Explanation:

given data

mass = 3.8589 g = 0.003859 kg

spring length = 5 cm = 0.05 m

extend spring x = 1.5747 cm = 0.15747 m

spring's extension = 0.0116 m

to find out

charges of the beads

solution

we know that force is

force = mass × g

force = 0.003859 × 9.8

force = 0.03782 N

so we know force for mass

force = -kx

so k = force / x

put here force and x value

k = -0.03782 / 0.1575

k = -0.24 N/m

and

force for spring's extension

force = -kx

force = -0.24 ( 0.0116) = 0.002784 N

so here

total length L = 0.05 + 0.0116 = 0.0616

so charges of the beads = force × L² / ke

charges of the beads = 0.002784 × (0.0616)² / (9 × $10^{9}$ )

so charges of the beads = 1.173 × $10^{-15}$ C
