Answer: The clumps, known as glacier mice, have been found to contain miniature ecosystems
Explanation: Because glaciers are in constant, if slow, motion and are frequently blasted by strong winds.
Metallic luster refers to the way light casts off of a mineral. Polished metals such as gold have a metallic luster, which makes them look bright and shiny, and reflect more light than other minerals. There are also minerals that have metallic luster, but are not shiny or reflect much light, which is called dull metallic luster.
Metallic luster - bright, shiny
Dull metallic luster - not shiny
Answer:
A) 7.9 x 10⁶ inches
B) 1004 g
C) 2.8 x 10³ inches/ min
D) 1.2 x 10⁻⁴ mm
Explanation:
A) Since 39.37 inches = 1 m, you can convert meters to inches by multiplying by the conversion factor (39.37 inches / 1 m).
Notice that if 39.37 inches = 1 m then 39.37 inches / 1 m = 1. That means that when you multiply by a conversion factor, you are only changing units since it is the same as multiplying by 1 :
2.0 x 10⁵ m * (39.37 inches / 1 m) = 7.9 x 10⁶ inches
B) Conversion factors : (2.205 pounds / 1 kg) and (453.59 g / 1 pound), because 2.205 pounds = 1 kg and 1 pound = 453.59 g. Then:
1.004 kg * ( 2.205 pounds / 1 kg) * ( 453.59 g / 1 pound) = 1004 g
C) Conversion factor: (39.37 inches / 1 m) and (60 s / 1 min)
1.2 m/s * (39.37 inches / 1 m) * ( 60 s / 1 min) = 2.8 x 10³ inches/ min
D)Converison factor ( 1 mm / 1 x 10⁶ nm):
120 nm (1 mm / 1 x 10⁶ nm) = 1.2 x 10⁻⁴ mm
