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.

At what speed would a 3.00 x 10^4 kg airplane have to fly and with a momentum of 1.60 x 10^9 kg.m/s

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

5.3×10⁴ m/s

Explanation:

From the question,

Momentum = mass× velocity

M = mV................ Equation 1

Where M = momentum of the airplane, m = mass of the airplane, V = Velocity of the airplane

make V the subject of the equation

V = M/m.................. Equation 2

Given: M = 1.6×10⁹ Kg.m/s, m = 3.0×10⁴ kg

Substitute these values into equation 2

V = 1.6×10⁹/3.0×10⁴

V = 5.3×10⁴ m/s

The current through two identical light bulbs connected in series is 0.25 A. The voltage across both bulbs is 110 V. The resista

Rus_ich [418]

The resistance of a single light bulb is 220 ohms per bulb.

Ohm's Law is a formula used to determine how voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit relate to one another.

Ohm's Law (E = IR) is as basic to students of electronics as Einstein's Relativity equation (E = mc2) is to physicists.

E = I x R

The formula reads voltage = current x resistance, or V = A xΩ., or volts = amps x ohms.

110volts divided by .25amps = 440 ohms. 440 divided by 2 =220 ohms per bulb.

R = 110/(2*0.25) = 220 ohms

A battery with an internal resistance ofrand an emf of 10.00 V is connected to a loadresistorR=r. As the battery ages, the inter

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The current is reduced to half of its original value.

Explanation:

Assuming we can apply Ohm's Law to the circuit, as the internal resistance and the load resistor are in series, we can find the current I₁ as follows:

$I_{1} = \frac{V}{R_{int} +r_{L} }$

where Rint = r and RL = r
Replacing these values in I₁, we have:

$I_{1} = \frac{V}{R_{int} +r_{L} } = \frac{V}{2*r} (1)$

When the battery ages, if the internal resistance triples, the new current can be found using Ohm's Law again:

$I_{2} = \frac{V}{R_{int} +r_{L} } = \frac{V}{(3*r) +r} = \frac{V}{4*r} (2)$

We can find the relationship between I₂, and I₁, dividing both sides, as follows:

$\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} } = \frac{V}{4*r} *\frac{2*r}{V} = \frac{1}{2}$

The current when the internal resistance triples, is half of the original value, when the internal resistance was r, equal to the resistance of the load.

Rank the tensions in the ropes, t1, t2, and t3, from smallest to largest, when the boxes are in motion and there is no friction

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

<span>AS T1,T2,T3 are the tensions in the ropes,assuming that there are Three blocks of mass 3m, 2m, and m.T3 is the string between 3m and 2m,T2 is the string between 2m and m ,T1 is the string attached to m thus T1 pulls the whole set of blocks along, so it must be the largest. T2 pulls the last two masses, but T3 only pulls the last mass, so T3 < T2 < T1.</span>
