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 4kg metal block absorbs 5000j of energy and increases to a temperature of 22°c. the metal has a specific heat capacity of 250j
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

17 °C

Explanation:

From specific Heat capacity.

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)................. Equation 1

Where Q = Heat absorb by the metal block, c = specific heat capacity of the metal block, m = mass of the metal block, t₂ = final temperature, t₁ = Initial temperature.

make t₁ the subject of the equation

t₁ = t₂-(Q/cm)............... Equation 2

Given: t₂ = 22 °C, Q = 5000 J, m = 4 kg, c = 250 J/kg.°c

Substitute into equation 2

t₁ = 22-[5000/(4×250)

t₁ = 22-(5000/1000)

t₁ = 22-5

t₁ = 17 °C

How often must you check the temperature of food that is being held with temperature control?.
loris [4]

You need to check the temperature of food being stored in a temperature-controlled environment every four hours. The process of changing a space's temperature is called temperature control.

Cooking food alone may not be enough to avoid food poisoning, though, if the bacteria in food are allowed to grow to large numbers. When the temperature is between 5°C and 63°C, bacteria can grow. The risk zone is the range between 5°C and 63°C.

Temperature control is a process where the passage of heat energy into or out of a space or substance is adjusted to achieve the desired temperature. This process involves measuring or otherwise detecting changes in the temperature of the space (and all of the objects contained therein) or of the substance.

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

15.3 s and 332 m

Explanation:

With the launch of projectiles expressions we can solve this problem, with the acceleration of the moon

    gm = 1/6 ge

    gm = 1/6  9.8 m/s² = 1.63 m/s²

We calculate the range

    R = Vo² sin 2θ  / g

    R = 25² sin (2 30) / 1.63

    R= 332 m

We will calculate the time of flight,

   Y = Voy t – ½ g t2  

   Voy = Vo sin θ

When the ball reaches the end point has the same initial  height Y=0

0 = Vo sin  t – ½  g t2

0 = 25 sin (30)  t – ½ 1.63 t2

0= 12.5 t –  0.815 t2

We solve the equation

0= t ( 12.5 -0.815 t)

 t=0 s

t= 15.3 s

The value of zero corresponds to the departure point and the flight time is 15.3 s

Let's calculate the reach on earth

R2 = 25² sin (2 30) / 9.8

R2 = 55.2 m

R/R2 = 332/55.2

R/R2 = 6

Therefore the ball travels a distance six times greater on the moon than on Earth
