A Mineraloid is a natural, inorganic, amorphous (lacking "defined chemical composition") solid body that does not exhibit crystallinity. It exhibits characteristics similar to those of minerals, but does not have the "ordered atomic structure" necessary to meet the definition of a mineral.

Glasses or colloids have a totally random structure on an atomic scale. They are amorphous and get the honorary name of mineraloid.

<u><em>Solid materials that do not possess an orderly arrangement of atoms are called glasses (mineraloids).</em></u>

A potential energy function is given by U(x)=(3.00J)x+(1.00J/m2)x3. What is the force function F(x) (in newtons) that is associa

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

$F(x)=-3 N - (3N)x^2$

Explanation:

The force is defined as the negative of the derivative of the potential energy:

$F=-\frac{dU}{dx}$

If we use the potential energy function given in this problem:

$U(x)=3.00 x + 1.00 x^3$

and we calculate the force, we get:

$F(x)=-\frac{d}{dx}(3x+x^3)=-3-3x^2$

So, the force is

$F(x)=-3 N - (3N)x^2$

When sound is created it travels to the car through a

Rasek [7]

A sound wave is a longitudinal wave caused by vibrations and carried through a substance. The particles of the substance, such as air particles, vibrate back and forth along the path that the sound waves travel. Sound is transmitted through the vibrations and collisions of the particles.

This could maybe help you with your answer.
