Answer:

A ruby is measures a 9 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness, second only to diamond and matched with sapphire. This makes a ruby an extremely hard and durable gemstone.

A sapphire is the birthstone for September. It is also a traditional gift for those celebrating 5th or 45th anniversaries.

The name “ruby” comes from the Latin word ruber, which means red.

Sapphires get their colors from trace elements in the mineral corundum. Classic blue sapphires contain iron and titanium, and trace elements of chromium can turn corundum pink, while more chromium turns it into a ruby.

A compact car, mass 660 kg, is moving at 1.00 ✕ 102 km/h toward the east. The driver of the compact car suddenly applies the bra

Maslowich

Answer: $59.43\times 10^3 kg-m/s$

Explanation:

Given

mass of car $m=660 kg$

Initial velocity of car $=102 km/h\approx 28.33 m/s$ towards east

Time taken to stop $t=2.1 s$

Force exerted $F_{avg}=4.8\times 10^3 N$

change in momentum is given by impulse imparted to the car

$Impulse(J)=-F\cdot t$

$J=-4.8\times 10^3\times 2.1$

$J=-59.49\times 10^3 kg-m/s$

negative Sign indicates that impulse is imparted opposite to the direction of motion

magnitude of momentum $J=59.49\times 10^3$

A tank of volume 0.25 ft is designed to contain 50 standard cubic feet of air. The temperature is 80° F.Calculate the pressure i

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The inside Pressure of the tank is $4499.12 lb/ft^{2}$

Solution:

As per the question:

Volume of tank, $V = 0.25 ft^{3}$

The capacity of tank, $V' = 50ft^{3}$

Temperature, T' = $80^{\circ}F$ = 299.8 K

Temperature, T = $59^{\circ}F$ = 288.2 K

Now, from the eqn:

PV = nRT (1)

Volume of the gas in the container is constant.

V = V'

Similarly,

P'V' = n'RT' (2)

Also,

The amount of gas is double of the first case in the cylinder then:

n' = 2n

$\]frac{n'}{n} = 2$

where

n and n' are the no. of moles

Now, from eqn (1) and (2):

$\frac{PV}{P'V'} = \frac{nRT}{n'RT'}$

$P' = 2P\frac{T'}{T} = 2\times 2116\times \frac{299.8}{288.2} = 4499.12 lb/ft^{2}$

Rzqust [24]

<span>A tri-fold brochure has two parallel folds, splitting the brochure into three sections. Even when printed on low-weight paper, tri-folds can stand up easily, which makes them a great choice for displaying at conventions. You can fold both folds inwards so that the left and right sections of the brochure sit on top of one another, or you can have one fold inwards and the other outwards, to create an accordion effect, which looks very attractive.</span>

5) Find the initial velocity for a 700 kg car that

Serhud [2]

Answer:

Δv = 12 m/s, but we are not given the direction, so there are really an infinite number of potential solutions.

Maximum initial speed is 40.6 m/s

Minimum initial speed is 16.6 m/s

Explanation:

Assume this is a NET impulse so we can ignore friction.

An impulse results in a change of momentum

The impulse applied was

p = Ft = 1400(6.0) = 8400 N•s

p = mΔv

Δv = 8400 / 700 = 12 m/s

If the impulse was applied in the direction the car was already moving, the initial velocity was

vi = 28.6 - 12 = 16.6 m/s

if the impulse was applied in the direction opposite of the original velocity, the initial velocity was

vi = 28.6 + 12 = 40.6 m/s

Other angles of Net force would result in various initial velocities.
