Which of these is the easiest mineral identification property to use when you want to know whether you have pyrite or actual gol

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

c. streak

Explanation:

Pyrite is a mineral that looks like gold but actually is iron disulfide.

Pyrite and gold have comparable luster.

Pyrite and gold have different tones of yellow. This can be determined by their streak. Streak is the powdered form of a mineral. A streak of mineral can be found just by rubbing the mineral on a rough surface and comparing the colors.

Pyrite is diamagnetic which is not a strong form of magnetism. Gold is also diamagnetic

In a physics lab, light with a wavelength of 530 nm travels in air from a laser to a photocell in a time of 16.7 ns . When a sla

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

$\lambda'=78.086\ nm$

Explanation:

Given:

wavelength of light in the air, $\lambda=530\times 10^{-9}\ m$

time taken to travel from the source to the photocell via air, $t=16.7\ s$

time taken to reach the photocell via air and glass slab, $t'=21.3\times 10^{-9}\ s$

thickness of the glass slab, $x=0.87\ m$

<u>Now we have the relation for time:</u>

$\rm time=\frac{distance}{speed}$

hence,

$t=\frac{d}{c}$

c= speed of light in air

$16.7\times 10^{-9}=\frac{d}{3\times 10^8}$

$d=16.7\times 10^{-9}\times 3\times 10^8$

$d=5.01\ m$

For the case when glass slab is inserted between the path of light:

$\frac{(d-x)}{c} +\frac{x}{v} =t'$ (since light travel with the speed c only in the air)

here:

v = speed of light in the glass

$\frac{(5.01-0.87)}{3\times 10^8} +\frac{0.87}{v} =21.3\times 10^{-9}$

$v=4.42\times 10^7\ m.s^{-1}$

Using Snell's law:

$\frac{\lambda}{\lambda'} =\frac{c}{v}$

$\frac{530}{\lambda'} =\frac{3\times 10^8}{4.42\times 10^7}$

$\lambda'=78.086\ nm$

Vector B has x, y, and z components of 2.4,

Fed [463]

The magnitude of the vector B is 10.9

A vector is a quantity which has magnitude as well as direction and it follows vector laws of addition.

To calculate the magnitude of the vector, we have to put the square of the components of the vector along the axes under the root.

Vector B has components,

x = 2.4

y = 9.8

z = 4.1

Applying the formula,

|B| = √x²+y²+z²

|B| = √(2.4)² + (9.8)² + (4.1)²

|B| = √5.76+96.04+16.81

|B| = √118.61

|B| = 10.9

Talking about the direction the the Vector B, it will be the line joining the origin with the points (2.4,9.8,4.1)

Physicists often measure the momentum of subatomic particles moving near the speed of light in units of MeV/c, where c is the sp

maxonik [38]

Answer:

kg m/s

Explanation:

e = Charge = C

V = Voltage = $\dfrac{N}{C}m$

c = Speed of light = m/s

Momentum is given by

$\dfrac{MeV}{c}=\dfrac{e\times V}{c}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=\dfrac{C\times \dfrac{N}{C}\times m}{m/s}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=Ns\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=kg\times \dfrac{m}{s}\times s\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=kg\cdot m/s$

The unit of MeV/c in SI fundamental units is kg m/s
