Physics

atroni [7]3 years ago

If you only know its speed, that's not enough information to catch it. You could even chase it at DOUBLE that speed, and you'd never catch it if you were chasing in the wrong direction.

You also have to know the DIRECTION the runaway car is going, so that you can chase in the same direction.

Now that you know its speed AND direction, you know its velocity. You need that information to have any chance of catching it.

Which is not a property of a mineral?<br>O magnetism<br>o cleavage<br>O color<br>o reflection​
yKpoI14uk [10]
Reflection. I used the process of elimination. Cleavage and color are properties of a mineral and magnetism is a property as well you just can’t find strong traces of it in all minerals. But it’s there no matter how weak or strong it’s attraction is drawn to magnetic fields.
