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 uniform solid disk with a mass of 24.3 kg and a radius of 0.364 m is free to rotate about a frictionless axle. Forces of 90.0

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

a. $-12.7 Nm$

b. $-7.9 rad/s^2$

Explanation:

I have attached an illustration of a solid disk with the respective forces applied, as stated in this question.

Forces applied to the solid disk include:

$F_1 = 90.0N\\F_2 = 125N$

Other parameters given include:

Mass of solid disk, $M = 24.3kg$

and radius of solid disk, $r = 0.364m$

a.) The formula for determining torque ( $T$ ), is $T = r * F$

Hence the net torque produced by the two forces is given as a summation of both forces:

$T = T_{125} + T_{90}\\= -r(125)sin90 + r(90)sin90\\= 0.364(-125 + 90)\\= -12.7 Nm$

b.) The angular acceleration of the disk can be found thus:

using the formula for the Moment of Inertia of a solid disk;

$I_{disk} = {\frac{1}{2}}Mr^2$

where $M$ = Mass of solid disk

and $r$ = radius of solid disk

We then relate the torque and angular acceleration ( $\alpha$ ) with the formula:

$T = I\alpha \\-12.7 = ({\frac{1}{2}}Mr^2)\alpha \\\alpha = -{\frac{12.7}{1.61}} = -7.9 rad/s^2$

How are electromagnetic waves that are produced by oscillating charges and sound waves that are produced by oscillating tuning f

Dovator [93]

They are both created by waves of different forms of energy... sound is the oscillation of other substances, called a medium, while the electromagnetic waves are oscillating through electromagnetic energy.

madreJ [45]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

When we have an object in periodic motion, the amplitude will be the maximum displacement from equilibrium. Take for example, when there’s a back and forth movement of a pendulum through its equilibrium point (straight down), then swings to a highest distance away from the center. This distance will be represented as the amplitude, A. The full range of the pendulum has a magnitude of 2A.

position = amplitude x sine function(angular frequency x time + phase difference)

x = A sin(ωt + ϕ)

x = displacement (m)

A = amplitude (m)

ω = angular frequency (radians/s)

t = time (s)

ϕ = phase shift (radians)

Kindly check the attached image below to see the step by step explanation to the question above.
