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.

A 1400 kg car is moving at 33.8 m/s when a force is applied the opposite direction of the car's motion. The car slows down to 21
zubka84 [21]

Solve for acceleration:

<em>a</em> = (21.4 m/s - 33.8 m/s) / (4.7 s)

<em>a</em> ≈ -2.6 m/s²

Solve for force:

<em>F</em> = (1400 kg) <em>a</em> ≈ -3700 N

The minus sign tells you the force points in the opposite direction of the car's motion. Its magnitude is always positive, so <em>F</em> = 3700 N.

A physics student looks into a microscope and observes that small particles suspended in water are moving about in an irregular
Dominik [7]

Answer:

d. the actual motion is regular, but the speeds of particles are too large to observe the regular motion

Explanation:

The speeds of the particles are very large and comparatively the average  free path is very small . Therefore time taken in covering the free path ( path between two consecutive collision with medium particles ) is very small . Hence the st line  path covered by particles between two collision is less likely to be visible. Hence motion appears irregular or zig-zag.

a soccer ball accelerates more than a bowling ball when thrown with the same force. which law of newton best supports this?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Newtons second law of motion known as the law of acceleration

Explanation:

The second law explains that a greater mass requires a greater force

How much is the plane's acceleration while breaking if it takes 15 s for its velocity
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

A. 4.67 m/s²

Explanation:

u = 145 m/s

v = 75 m/s

t = 15 s

a = v - u / t

= 145 - 75 / 15

= 4.67 m/s²

Hope this helped...
