How do I remember the Mohs hardness scale?

Physics
1 answer:
yanalaym [24]3 years ago
6 0
It's a hardness scale from 1-10 determining how easy or hard it is to scratch the mineral.

Remember that talc (like chalk or baby powder) is the softest and easiest to scratch then diamond being 10 is the hardest mineral to scratch or break or cut

What is one difference between a homogeneous mixture and a heterogeneous mixture?
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

When oil and water are combined, they do not mix evenly, but instead form two separate layers.

Explanation:

By definition, a pure substance or a homogeneous mixture consists of a single phase. A heterogeneous mixture consists of two or more phases. When oil and water are combined, they do not mix evenly, but instead form two separate layers.

Answer:

a. 4.733 × 10⁻¹⁹ J = 2.954 eV b i. yes ii. 0.054 eV = 8.651 × 10⁻²¹ J

Explanation:

a. Find the energy of the incident photon.

The energy of the incident photon E = hc/λ where h = Planck's constant = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ Js, c = speed of light = 3 × 10⁸ m/s and λ = wavelength of light = 420 nm = 420 × 10⁻⁹ m

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

E = hc/λ

= 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ Js × 3 × 10⁸ m/s ÷ 420 × 10⁻⁹ m

= 19.878 × 10⁻²⁶ Jm  ÷ 420 × 10⁻⁹ m

= 0.04733 × 10⁻¹⁷ J

= 4.733 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

Since 1 eV = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ J,

4.733 × 10⁻¹⁹ J = 4.733 × 10⁻¹⁹ J × 1 eV/1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ J = 2.954 eV

b. i. Is this energy enough for an electron to leave the atom

Since E = 2.954 eV is greater than the work function Ф = 2.9 eV, an electron would leave the atom. So, the answer is yes.

ii. What is its  maximum energy?

The maximum energy E' = E - Ф = 2.954 - 2.9

= 0.054 eV

= 0.054 × 1 eV

= 0.054 × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

= 0.08651  × 10⁻¹⁹ J

= 8.651 × 10⁻²¹ J

The average marathon runner can complete the 42.2-km distance of the marathon in 3 h and 30 min. If the runner's mass is 85 kg,
Semenov [28]

Answer:

the runner's average kinetic energy during the run is 476.96 J.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the runner, m = 85 kg

distance covered by the runner, d = 42.2 km = 42,200 m

time to complete the race, t = 3 hours 30 mins = (3 x 3600s) + (30 x 60s)

                                                                               = 12,600 s

The speed of the runner, v = d/t

                                          v = 42,200 / 12,600

                                          v = 3.35 m/s

The runner's average kinetic energy during the run is calculated as;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

K.E = ¹/₂ × 85 × (3.35)²

K.E = 476.96 J

Therefore, the runner's average kinetic energy during the run is 476.96 J.
