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.

kirza4 [7]

At t =0, the velocity of A is greater than the velocity of B.

We are told in the question that the spacecrafts fly parallel to each other and that for the both  spacecrafts, the velocities are described as follows;

A: vA (t) = ť^2 – 5t + 20

B: vB (t) = t^2+ 3t + 10

Given that t = 0 in both cases;

vA (0) = 0^2 – 5(0) + 20

vA = 20 m/s

For vB

vB (0) = 0^2+ 3(0) + 10

vB = 10 m/s

We can see that at t =0, the velocity of A is greater than the velocity of B.

Read each question carefully. Show all your work for each part of the question. The parts within the question may not have equal weight. Spacecrafts A and B are flying parallel to each other through space and are next to each other at time t= 0. For the interval 0 <t< 6 s, spacecraft A's velocity v A and spacecraft B's velocity vB as functions of t are given by the equations va (t) = ť^2 – 5t + 20 and VB (t) = t^2+ 3t + 10, respectively, where both velocities are in units of meters per second. At t = 6 s, the spacecrafts both turn off their engines and travel at a constant speed. (a) At t = 0, is the speed of spacecraft A greater than, less than, or equal to the speed of spacecraft B?

A tennis player swings her 1000 g racket with a speed of 10 m/s. She hits a 60 g tennis ball that was approaching her at a speed
Mashutka [201]

(a)

consider the motion of the tennis ball. lets assume the velocity of the tennis ball going towards the racket as positive and velocity of tennis ball going away from the racket as negative.

m = mass of the tennis ball = 60 g = 0.060 kg

v₀ = initial velocity of the tennis ball before being hit by racket = 20 m/s

v = final velocity of the tennis ball after being hit by racket = - 39 m/s

ΔP = change in momentum of the ball

change in momentum of the ball is given as

ΔP = m (v - v₀)

inserting the above values

ΔP = (0.060) (- 39 - 20)

ΔP = - 3.54 kgm/s

hence , magnitude of change in momentum : 3.54 kgm/s
