One student did an experiment with two unknown minerals, Mineral 1 and Mineral 2. The hardness scale shown below was used for th

e experiment.
Mineral Talc Gypsum Calcite Fluorite Apatite Orthoclase
Hardness 1 2 3 4 5 6

Any mineral on the hardness scale would scratch minerals below it on the scale. The student tested Mineral 1 and observed that it could scratch only two other minerals on the hardness scale. It was observed that Mineral 2 could scratch only four other minerals on the hardness scale. Which of these is a correct conclusion the student can make about Mineral 1 and Mineral 2?
A) Mineral 1 can be used to scratch talc and Mineral 2 can be used to scratch orthoclase.
B) Mineral 1 can be used to scratch orthoclase and Mineral 2 can be used to scratch talc.
C) Mineral 1 can be used to scratch calcite and Mineral 2 can be used to scratch gypsum.
D) Mineral 1 can be used to scratch gypsum and Mineral 2 can be used to scratch calcite.

Scale: (soft 1-->6 hardest)
<span>1=Talc 2=Gypsum 3=Calcite 4=Fluorite 5=Apatite 6=Orthoclase

</span>Mineral #1 can only scratch two other minerals therefore it must have a hardness level of 2+1=3 which is Calcite. (scratches talc, gypsum)

Mineral #2 can scratch four other minerals therefore it must have a hardness level of 4+1=5 which is Apatite. (scratches all but Apatite, Orthoclase)

Looking through the possible conclusions.. It looks like answer is D.

Calculate the energy gained by an ice block in the following experiment.
MAXImum [283]

The heat is exchanged when two different temperature objects come in contact. The energy gained by an ice block is 2.3 Joules.

<h3>What is temperature?</h3>

Temperature is the degree of hotness and coldness of the object.

A 7g block of ice was added to a coffee cup full of 103.4 grams of water. The water had an initial temperature T₁ = 24.5 C and a final temperature T₂ = 19.2 C after all the ice had melted.

Heat lost by water = Heat gained by ice

Qgain = ms(T₂ -T₁ )

Substituting the value for mass of water m =103.4 g= 0.1034 kg , specific heat of water s = 4.18 kJ/kg and temperature values, we get

Qgain = 0.1034 x 4.18 x (24.5 - 19.2)

Qgain = 2.3 Joules

Thus, the energy gained by an ice block is 2.3 Joules.

A suspended object A is attracted to a charged object B, can one conclude that A is charged? Explain
irinina [24]

Explanation:

In my view, when the Object A is attracted to a Charged object B. Object B should be Negatively or Positively charged. So Object B should be the Opposite charged according to the Object B

Example =

If Object B is Negatively Charged, the Object A should be Positively Charged

If the Object B is Positively Charged, the Object A should be Negatively Charged

Sometimes it can Mix as a Neutral as well

Hope this Helps

4. How does the type of medium affect a sound wave?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The type of medium affects a sound wave as sound travels with the help of the vibration in particles.

Explanation:

As different mediums have different amount and size of particles, for example, the speed of sound is faster through solid than liquid as solids have closely packed particles whereas liquids are loosely packed.
