The correct answer is B. Calcite

Explanation:

Mohs hardness scale indicates the hardness of minerals using a scale from 1 to 10 as well as defining the objects or tools that can be used to scratch the minerals. These two features of minerals are shown in the table of the image. About this, it is shown gypsum and talc can be scratched by just a fingernail, considering minerals with a hardness of 2.5 or below can be scratched by a fingernail. In the case of calcite that has a hardness of 3, this cannot be scratched by a fingernail, but it can be scratched by a penny, which works for minerals with a hardness of 3.5 or below. Thus, the correct answer is Calcite.

Leto [7]

<span>The question is asking us what is BEST to say about a runner who is running at a constant velocity? A constant velocity (=speed) means that they are not getting faster or slower - they are running exactly as fast all the time. This meanst that their speed does not change, so their change of speed is equal to 0. A change of speed is called acceleration so their C. Their acceleration is zero. - C is the correct answer. </span>

A wooden block with mass 1.60 kg is placed against a compressed spring at the bottom of a slope inclined at an angle of 30.0° (p

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The amount of potential energy that was initially stored in the spring is 88.8 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of block = 1.60 kg

Angle = 30.0°

Distance = 6.55 m

Speed = 7.50 m/s

Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.50

We need to calculate the amount of potential energy

Using formula of conservation of energy between point A and B

$U_{A}+k_{A}+w_{A}=U_{B}+k_{B}$

$U_{A}+0-fd=mgy+\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$U_{A}=\mu mg\cos\theta\times d+mg h\sin\theta+\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Put the value into the formula

$U_{A}=0.50\times1.60\times9.8\cos30\times6.55+1.60\times9.8\times6.55\sin30+\dfrac{1}{2}\times1.60\times(7.50)^2$

$U_{A}=88.8\ J$

Hence, The amount of potential energy that was initially stored in the spring is 88.8 J.
