Answer:

Today, to benefit humankind, radiation is used in medicine, academics, and industry, as well as for generating electricity. In addition, radiation has useful applications in such areas as agriculture, archaeology (carbon dating), space exploration, law enforcement, geology (including mining), and many others.

Magnetism, reactivity, and fluorescence are three special properties used to identify minerals. Please select the best answer fr
astraxan [27]

Answer: True

Explanation: Following are the properties that are used to identify minerals:

(1) Color

(2) Hardness

(3) Magnetism : It is the property of mineral to attract or repel with other magnetic materials.

(4) Luster : It is the property that shows the surface is reflecting light or not.

(5) Reactivity: Reactivity is also responsible to identify mineral. How the mineral is reacting with acids, bases etc helps to identify type of minerals.

What is the volume of a 1.2kg and displaced 1.0g/cm3
Zinaida [17]
Mass = 1.2 kg = 1200 grams.

Volume = mass/density = 1200 cm3.

Hope this helps!

A circular curve of radius 150 m is banked at an angle of 15 degrees. A 750-kg car negotiates the curve at 85.0 km/h without ski
Crazy boy [7]

Answer: a) 7.1 * 10^3 N; b) -880 N directed out of the curve.

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to use the Newton laws, then we have the following:

Pcos 15°-N=0

Psin15°-f= m*ac

from the first we obtain N, the normal force

N=750Kg*9.8* cos (15°)= 7.1 *10^3 N

Then to calculate the frictional force (f) we can use the second equation

f=P sin (15°) -m*ac where ac is the centripetal acceletarion which is equal to v^2/r

f= 750 *9.8 sin(15°)-750*(85*1000/3600)^2/150= -880 N

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

(a) Most reactive {}       Metal B

{}                                    Metal D

{}                                    Metal A

Least reactive {}           Metal C

(b) (i) Bubbles should form very slowly

(ii) No reaction takes place

Explanation:

(a) The given metals arranged in their order of reactivity are;

Most reactive {}       Metal B

{}                               Metal D

{}                               Metal A

Least reactive {}      Metal C

The other of reactivity is based on the nature of their reactivity of the metals in air

(b) (i) Based on the reactivity of the metals in air, whereby metal A reacts very slowly and an oxide is formed, we have that, based on the reactivity of the metal A, when mixed with dilute hydrochloric acid, bubbles should form very slowly

(ii) Similarly, given that metal C is unreactive, we have that when small pieces of metal C are added to dilute hydrochloric acid, no reaction takes place.
