The properties of minerals that might help Jimmy and his partners to identify the sample other than Hardness (scratch test) are:
1. Color
2. Crystalline Structure
3. Cleavage or Fracture
4. Transparency
5. Tenacity
Answer:
(a) 41.75m/s
(b) 4.26s
Explanation:
Let:
Distance, D = 89m
Gravity, 
= 9.8 m/
Initial Velocity, 
= 0m/s
Final Velocity, 
= ?
Time Taken, 
= ?
With the distance formula, which is
D = 
+ 
and by substituting what we already know, we have:
89 = 
×9.8×
With the equation above, we can solve for :
Now that we have solved , we can use the following velocity formula to solve for :
, where 
is also equals to , so we have
By substituting 
, 
, and 
,
We have:
This is a concept of momentum. In equation, momentum is the product of force and distance. When a ball is thrown, its force is constant all throughout unless disturbed by an external force. Therefore, force is the constant of proportionality that relates momentum with distance. When you block a ball from a given distance, you would feel the great force on your hand. In order to reduce the force, you have to follow the direction of the force in order to minimize the impact. By doing this, you gradually decrease the momentum of the ball.
