Answer: 5.5
Explanation:
Let's start by explaining that hardness is a property that materials have related to the opposition or resistance they offer to alterations such as penetration, abrasion, scratching, cutting, and permanent deformations, among others.
In this context, several hardness scales have been developed to catalog the materials (specifically minerals), being the Mohs scale the best known. This scale, proposed by the German geologist Friedrich Mohs in 1825, consists of a ratio of ten minerals numbered in increasing order by hardness, from least to greatest.
This is how the scale starts at 1 with the talc (considered the softest material) and ends at 10 with the diamond as the hardest.
Now, if we are told that the glass is in the middle of the hardness scale that goes from 1 to 10, logically its value will be 5 (volcanic glass). However, according to the scale, the glass is at 5.5.
Hello!
Use the equation F = m · a (Newton's Second Law) to solve. Substitute in the given values:
F = 5 · 20
F = 100N
We know the equation
weight = mass × gravity
To work out the weight on the moon, we will need its mass, and the gravitational field strength of the moon.
Remember that your weight can change, but mass stays constant.
So using the information given about the earth weight, we can find the mass by substituting 100N for weight, and we know the gravity on earth is 10Nm*2 (Use the gravitational field strength provided by your school, I am assuming yours in 10Nm*2)
Therefore,
100N = mass × 10
mass= 100N/10
mass= 10 kg
Now, all we need are the moon's gravitational field strength and to apply this to the equation
weight = 10kg × (gravity on moon)
Answer:
268N
Explanation:
The upward force acting on the block are the reaction and the hooked table..
The total normal force acting = normal reaction + 24N
Note that the normal reaction is always equal the weight of the table
Hence the normal force acting in the block is 244.0+24 = 268.0N
Compression is above the equilibrium and rarefaction is below
