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.

When two oppositely charged electrodes are immersed in a solution, positively charged ions are attracted to the negative electro
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

conductivity of solution is reduced.

Explanation:

When two oppositely charged electrodes are immersed in a solution, positively charged ions are attracted to the negative electrode and gain electrons. The negatively charged ions are attracted to the positive electrode and release electrons.

Due to the process mentioned above , the negatively charged ions are accumulated at the positive electrode and the positively charged ions are accumulated at the negative electrode . This accumulation prevents further attraction of ions at oppositely charged electrodes because the incoming ions face repulsion from already accumulated ions at electrodes.  Further , it creates an emf acting in opposite direction . It reduces the current through the solution. Hence conductivity of solution is reduced.

A ray of red light in air is incident at an angle of 30. on a
Vlad [161]

Answer:

20 degrees.

Explanation:

From Snell’s law of refraction:

sinθ1•n1 = sinθ2•n2

where θ1 is the incidence angle, θ2 is the refraction angle, n1 is the refraction index of light in medium1, and n2 is the refraction index for virgin olive oil. The incidence angle of the red light is θ1 = 30 degrees.

The red light is in air as medium1, so n1 (air) = 1.00029

So, to find θ2, the refracted angle:

sinθ1•1.00029 = sinθ2•1.464

sin(30)•1.00029 / 1.464 = sinθ2

0.5•1.00029 / 1.464 = sinθ2

sinθ2 = 0.3416291

θ2 = arcsin(0.3416291)

θ2 = 19.976 degrees

To the nearest degree,

θ2 = 20 degrees.

maks197457 [2]
No spacecraft has been built yet that was able to absorb harmful
radiations in space, change weather conditions on Earth, or destroy
meteors and comets which might strike Earth.

We should continue to send robotic spacecrafts into space
because they help discard some myths about objects in space. 
In other words, they help us learn things that we never knew before.

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

1.40 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given data

Velocity= 17.4 m/s

time= 12.4 seconds

We want to find the acceleration of the rock

We know that

acceleration = velocity/time

Substitute

acceleration= 17.4/12.4

acceleration=1.40 m/s^2

Hence the acceleration is 1.40 m/s^2
