Explanation:

You are given the initial velocity, the displacement, and the acceleration. You're looking for the final velocity. So you use the equation:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

When you solve for v, you take the square root. Your calculator will return a positive answer, but there are actually two possible answers: positive and negative.

v = ±√(v₀² + 2aΔy)

You must use the physical context of the problem. If we take up to be the positive direction, then v must be negative, since the projectile is moving down.

Objective Lenses: Usually you will find 3 or 4 objective lenses on a microscope. They almost always consist of 4X, 10X, 40X and 100X powers. When coupled with a10X (most common) eyepiece lens, we get total magnifications of 40X (4X times10X), 100X , 400X and 1000X.

You are given five transparent objects: a calcite crystal, a diamond, a piece of window glass, a sample of quartz, and a piece o

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The calcite Crystal can be identified by carrying out an acid test on it. This is done by bringing it in contact with a weak acid which cause crack in it structure. Hence a little of carbondioxide gas is released.

Since diamond is the hardest object,it can be identified on a Mohs scale. Likewise it can be tested by bringing it in contact with a newspaper, if the letters on the paper are not seen, that shows it is a pure diamond.

Window glass is identified by the code on it.

While Quartz Crystal is identified by scratch test. When it is used to scratch all other softer stones and metal, it leaves mark on them.

A main difference between asteroids and comets is that asteroids are mostly made of rock and comets are mostly made of metals ca

avanturin [10]

We can confirm that the difference between a comet and an asteroid lies in their compositions and physical characteristics derived from those compositions.

As stated in the question, the main difference between an asteroid and a comet is their compositions, meaning the materials from which they form.

Asteroids are rocky objects which a heavy metal composition, while comets tend to be made of dust, ice, and some rocky material. Some extra differences include:

Comets reflect a steady amount of light (because of their ice composition)
Asteroids will reflect light at random intervals due to some metals that may be present on their surface
Comets tend to have a tail made of water from the melting ice when reflecting sunlight.

Therefore, we can confirm that the main difference between asteroids and comets is their compositions, which lead to distinct physical characteristics.
