Mercury forms in an ore called cinnabar, it is also frequently found in small amounts in other ores.

A method for separating mercury from cinnabar is to crush the ore and then heat it in a furnace in order to vaporize the mercury.

1. Water boils at 100°C at sea level. If the water in this experiment did not boil at 100°C, what could be the reason?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

It may not be at the sea level

Explanation:

The reason here is water only boils at sea level. This means that if you move water to a different height, say top of a mountain, the boiling temperature of water would change. This is due to the pressure drop at high place. The drop of pressure would make it harder to transform water liquid to gas, thus requiring more temperature.

The boiling point of water at sea level is 100 °c. at higher altitudes, the boiling point of water will be
Scilla [17]
   <span> The boiling point of water at sea level is 100 °C. At higher altitudes, the boiling point of water will be.....
a) higher, because the altitude is greater.
b) lower, because temperatures are lower.
c) the same, because water always boils at 100 °C.
d) higher, because there are fewer water molecules in the air.
==> e) lower, because the atmospheric pressure is lower.
--------------------------
Water boils at a lower temperature on top of a mountain because there is less air pressure on the molecules.

I hope this is helpful. </span>

One block rests upon a horizontal surface. A second identical block rests upon the first one. The coefficient of static friction
Sophie [7]

Answer:

F = 156.3 N

Explanation:

Let's start with the top block, apply Newton's second law

         F - fr = 0

         F = fr

         fr = 52.1 N

Now we can work  with the bottom block

In this case we have two friction forces, one between the two blocks and the other between the block and the surface. In the exercise, indicate that the two friction coefficients are equal

we apply Newton's second law

Y axis

        N - W₁ -W₂ = 0

        N = W₁ + W₂

as the two blocks are identical

        N = 2W

X axis

        F - fr₁ - fr₂ = 0

        F = fr₁ + fr₂

indicates that the lower block is moving below block 1, therefore the upper friction force is

          fr₁ = 52.1 N

          fr₁ = μ N

a

s the normal in the lower block of twice the friction force is

          fr₂ = μ 2N

          fr₂ = 2 μ N

          fr₂ = 2 fr₁

we substitute

          F = fr₁ + 2 fr₁

          F = 3 fr₁

          F = 3  52.1

          F = 156.3 N

The loudness of a sound is the waves amplitude <br><br><br><br> True or false
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

true i think

Explanation:

The amplitude of a sound wave determines its loudness or volume. A larger amplitude means a louder sound, and a smaller amplitude means a softer sound. In Figure 10.2 sound C is louder than sound B. The vibration of a source sets the amplitude of a wave.

People, animals, and all matter on Earth are
NemiM [27]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

To answer this, we can use process of elimination.

B: This question states that all matter has gravity. This is not correct. All matter is *effected* by gravity, but we do not have gravity inside of us.

C: If this were the case, we would all be floating off into space.

D: Same issue as question B.
