Answer:

Because the location of many of the earth's natural resources like fertile soils, ore deposits, fossil fuels, and geothermal energy can be explained by the theory of plate tectonics.

At divergent boundaries, plates separate, forming a narrow rift valley. Here, geysers spurt super-heated water, and magma, or molten rock, rises from the mantle and solidifies into basalt, forming new crust. Thus, at divergent boundaries, oceanic crust is created.

A 10 mm Brinell hardness indenter is used for some hardness testing measurements of a steel alloy. a) Compute the HB of this mat

Lady_Fox [76]

Explanation:

(a) The given data is as follows.

Load applied (P) = 1000 kg

Indentation produced (d) = 2.50 mm

BHI diameter (D) = 10 mm

Expression for Brinell Hardness is as follows.

HB = $\frac{2P}{\pi D [D - \sqrt{(D^{2} - d^{2})}]}$

Now, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

HB = $\frac{2P}{\pi D [D - \sqrt{(D^{2} - d^{2})}]}$ = $\frac{2 \times 1000 kg}{3.14 \times 10 mm [D - \sqrt{((10 mm)^{2} - (2.50)^{2})}]}$

= $\frac{2000}{9.98}$

= 200

Therefore, the Brinell HArdness is 200.

(b) The given data is as follows.

Brinell Hardness = 300

Load (P) = 500 kg

BHI diameter (D) = 10 mm

Indentation produced (d) = ?

d = $\sqrt{(D^{2} - [D - \frac{2P}{HB} \pi D]^{2})}$

= $\sqrt{(10 mm)^{2} - [10 mm - \frac{2 \times 500 kg}{300 \times 3.14 \times 10 mm}]^{2}}$

= 4.46 mm

Hence, the diameter of an indentation to yield a hardness of 300 HB when a 500-kg load is used is 4.46 mm.

How can you tell the difference between a mixture and a pure substance

xenn [34]

Mixtures are combinations of materials that can be separated by in most cases time. For instance, oil and water is a mixture. You can tell this by placing the two chemicals in a container and shaking them. They will mix and look like one substance, however, they will separate into the two liquids after some time is given. Assuming that "pure substance" is a solution, a substance is similar to a mixture, but the materials used in the solution are not separable. Over time the materials in the containing will not separate. I believe this is the answer you are looking for.

Place the following types of attraction weakest to strongest:

avanturin [10]

Answer: The order from weakest to strongest is:

$\text{dispersion forces}$

Explanation:

Dispersion force is the weakest intermolecular force. It is a temporary attractive force that come into action when the electrons in two neighboring atoms are at the positions which results in formation of temporary dipoles.

Dipole interaction is an attractive interaction between the positive end and negative end of the polar molecule.

Hydrogen bond is a weak bond between two adjacent molecules due to an electrostatic attraction between a hydrogen atom in a molecule with an electronegative atom of an adjacent molecule.

Single covalent bond is more stronger bond than the the interaction stated above because there is sharing of an electron between two atoms.

Ionic bond is the strongest bonds in which complete transfer of electrons is present. Due to high electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms there is a high electrostatic interaction between the oppositely charged ions which makes ionic bond strongest from all the other types of the bonds.

So, the order is:

$\text{dispersion forces}$
