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.

Why is Vy negative and not positive because I solved it and it resulted in a positive number?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Explanation:

You are given the initial velocity, the displacement, and the acceleration.  You're looking for the final velocity.  So you use the equation:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

When you solve for v, you take the square root.  Your calculator will return a positive answer, but there are actually two possible answers: positive and negative.

v = ±√(v₀² + 2aΔy)

You must use the physical context of the problem.  If we take up to be the positive direction, then v must be negative, since the projectile is moving down.

The table shows results from an experiment in which objects made up of different materials are rubbed with each other. Based on
Anna [14]

Answer:

D) The rubber object will become negatively charged, and the glass object will become positively charged.

Explanation:

Electron affinity of rubber or glass will decide the thing that rubber will get the negative charge or the glass will get the negative charge

As we know that if the electron affinity of a given material is high then that material will not lose its electron while rubbing with some other material.

When we compare rubber and glass then we know that electron affinity of rubber is more as compare to glass.

So rubber will get negative charge when we rub it with glass

so correct answer will be

D) The rubber object will become negatively charged, and the glass object will become positively charged.

D. Dyspareunia
I would say d because dyspareunia means painful sex so endometriosis, cyst, pelvic infections, and allergic reactions can all cause this.
