Why is powdered or ground up quartz used as an abrasive?

Physics

lara [203]3 years ago

Explanation:

The high hardness of quartz, seven on the Mohs Scale, makes it harder than most other natural substances. As such it is an excellent abrasive material. Quartz sands and finely ground silica sand are used for sand blasting, scouring cleansers, grinding media, and grit for sanding and sawing.

Alternating Current In Europe, the voltage of the alternating current coming through an electrical outlet can be modeled by the
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

\frac{50}{\pi }Hz

Explanation:

In alternating current (AC) circuits, voltage (V) oscillates in a sine wave pattern and has a general equation as a function of time (t) as follows;

V(t) = V sin (ωt + Ф)            -----------------(i)

Where;

V = amplitude value of the voltage

ω = angular frequency = 2 π f        [f = cyclic frequency or simply, frequency]

Ф = phase difference between voltage and current.

<u><em>Now,</em></u>

From the question,

V(t) = 230 sin (100t)              ---------------(ii)

<em><u>By comparing equations (i) and (ii) the following holds;</u></em>

V = 230

ω = 100

Ф = 0

<em><u>But;</u></em>

ω = 2 π f = 100

2 π f = 100             [divide both sides by 2]

π f = 50

f = \frac{50}{\pi }Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the voltage is \frac{50}{\pi }Hz

How does the width of the floodplain change over time?
serg [7]
Floodplains are landscapes shaped by running water. As streams and their larger forms, rivers, flow across the surface of land, they transport eroded rock and other material. (Erosion is the gradual wearing away of Earth surfaces through the action of wind and water.) At points along that journey, when their flow slows, the material they carry is dropped to create what are termed depositional landforms. Among these landforms are deltas and floodplains.

Astronomers observe two separate solar systems each consisting of a planet orbiting a sun. The two orbits are circular and have
Oxana [17]

Answer:

(D) 3

Explanation:

The angular momentum is given by:

\vec{L}=\vec{r}\ X \ \vec{p}

Thus, the magnitude of the angular momenta of both solar systems are given by:

L_1=Rm_1v_1=Rm_1(\omega R)=R^2m_1(\frac{2\pi}{T_1})=2\pi R^2\frac{m_1}{T_1}\\\\L_2=Rm_2v_2=2\pi R^2\frac{m_2}{T_2}

where we have taken that both systems has the same radius.

By taking into account that T1=3T2, we have

L_1=2\pi R^2\frac{m_1}{3T_2}=\frac{1}{3}2\pi R^2\frac{1}{T_2}m_1=\frac{1}{3}\frac{L_2}{m_2}m_1

but L1=L2=L:

L=\frac{1}{3}L\frac{m_1}{m_2}\\\\\frac{m_1}{m_2}=3

Hence, the answer is (D) 3

A bumblebee is flying to the right when a breeze causes the bee to slow down with a constant leftward acceleration of magnitude
romanna [79]

Answer:

3.75 m/s

Explanation:

Given that a bumblebee is flying to the right when a breeze causes the bee to slow down with a constant leftward acceleration of magnitude 0.50 m/s^2. After 2.0 s the bee is moving to the right with a speed of 2.75 m/ s

What was the velocity of the bumblebee right before the breeze?

Since the breeze blows with the acceleration of 0.5 m/s^2 for 2 seconds, we can calculate the magnitude of the velocity at which it moves.

Acceleration = velocity/ time

Substitute the acceleration and time into the formula

0.5 = V/2

Cross multiply

V = 2 × 0.5

V = 1 m/s

The bumblebee is travelling right ward while the wind travels leftward.

The relative velocity = 2.75 m/s

Let the bumblebee speed = Vb

While the wind = VW

Vb - Vw = 2.75

Substitute the wind speed into the formula

Vb - 1 = 2.75

Vb = 2.75 + 1

Vb = 3.75 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the bumblebee right before the breeze is 3.75 m/s

A horizontal spring with spring constant 85 N/m extends outward from a wall just above floor level. A 2.5 kg box sliding across
Nikolay [14]

As the box compresses the spring, the spring performs

-1/2 (85 N/m) (0.065 m)² ≈ -0.18 J

of work on the box. By the work energy theorem, the total work performed on the box (which is done only by the spring since there's no friction) is equal to the change in the box's kinetic energy. At full compression, the box has zero instantaneous speed, so

<em>W</em> = ∆<em>K</em>   ==>   -0.18 J = 0 - 1/2 (2.5 kg) <em>v</em> ²

where <em>v</em> is the box's speed when it first comes into contact with the spring. Solve for <em>v</em> :

<em>v</em> ² ≈ 0.14 m²/s²   ==>   <em>v</em> ≈ 0.38 m/s
