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.

How can an object become charged
morpeh [17]

Answer:

An object gets charged when it's atoms lose or gain an electron to become an ion. For example: ... This means that the fur loses it's electrons to the plastic rod and both objects are now charged. The fur is positively charged because it lost electrons and the rod is negatively charged because it gained electrons

Three forces act on a moving object. One force has a magnitude of 83.7 N and is directed due north. Another has a magnitude of 5
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

  • |\vec{F}_3| = 102.92 \ N
  • \theta = 57 \° 24 ' 48''

Explanation:

For an object to move with constant velocity, the acceleration of the object must be zero:

\vec{a} = \vec{0}.

As the net force equals acceleration multiplied by mass , this must mean:

\vec{F}_{net} = m \vec{a} = m * \vec{0} = \vec{0}.

So, the sum of the three forces must be zero:

\vec{F}_1 + \vec{F}_2 + \vec{F}_3 = \vec{0},

this implies:

\vec{F}_3  = - \vec{F}_1 - \vec{F}_2.

To obtain this sum, its easier to work in Cartesian representation.

First we need to define an Frame of reference. Lets put the x axis unit vector \hat{i} pointing east,  with the y axis unit vector \hat{j} pointing south, so the positive angle is south of east. For this, we got for the first force:

\vec{F}_1 = 83.7 \ N \ (-\hat{j}),

as is pointing north, and for the second force:

\vec{F}_2 = 59.9 \ N \ (-\hat{i}),

as is pointing west.

Now, our third force will be:

\vec{F}_3  = - 83.7 \ N \ (-\hat{j}) - 59.9 \ N \ (-\hat{i})

\vec{F}_3  =  83.7 \ N \ \hat{j}  + 59.9 \ N \ \hat{i}

\vec{F}_3  =  (59.9 \ N , 83.7 \ N )

But, we need the magnitude and the direction.

To find the magnitude, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.

|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{R_x^2 + R_y^2}

|\vec{F}_3| = \sqrt{(59.9 \ N)^2 + (83.7 \ N)^2}

|\vec{F}_3| = 102.92 \ N

this is the magnitude.

To find the direction, we can use:

\theta = arctan(\frac{F_{3_y}}{F_{3_x}})

\theta = arctan(\frac{83.7 \ N }{ 59.9 \ N })

\theta = 57 \° 24 ' 48''

and this is the angle south of east.

What is inertia and how is it related to the newton's first law of motion?
Alina [70]

Answer:

Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to any change in its velocity. This includes changes to the object's speed, or direction of motion. An aspect of this property is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed, when no forces act upon them.

Explanation:

Some sort of a local field, maybe not our A field, is really the cause of inertia. When you push on an object a gravitational disturbance goes propagating off into either the past or the future. Out there in the past or future the disturbance makes the distant matter in the universe wiggle.
