<span>The difference between work done by the gravitational force on descending and ascending objects is that for descending objects a terminal velocity will be reached where the object will not fall any faster that it already is. For an ascending object, its velocity will come down the longer gravity has an effect on it until the object begins to descend and the velocity of an ascending object will continue to change the longer gravity has an effect on it.</span>
Scale: (soft 1-->6 hardest)
<span>1=Talc 2=Gypsum 3=Calcite 4=Fluorite 5=Apatite 6=Orthoclase
</span>Mineral #1 can only scratch two other minerals therefore it must have a hardness level of 2+1=3 which is Calcite. (scratches talc, gypsum)
Mineral #2 can scratch four other minerals therefore it must have a hardness level of 4+1=5 which is Apatite. (scratches all but Apatite, Orthoclase)
Looking through the possible conclusions.. It looks like answer is D.
A > Is the correct answer :)
Because of the law of inertia and it’s effect on the skater
