How can you determine that a coin

Identifying What are five things

g100num [7]

Answer:

1. Naturally occuring

2. Solid

3. Inorganic

4. Crystalline

5. Specific Chemical Compostion

Explanation:

Minerals are inorganic, crystalline solids that occur during biogeochemical processes in nature like in cooled lava or evaporated sea water. Minerals are not rocks, but are actually the components that make up rocks. Though they vary in color and shape, each mineral has a distinct chemical composition.

1. Minerals are formed by natural geological processes. Most minerals form from molten lava, sea evaporation or hot liquids in caves or cracks. Laboratory-generated minerals like synthetic gems made for commercial purposes are not considered actual minerals.

2. Though minerals vary in shape, color, luster (the way a mineral reflects light) and hardness, all minerals are a solid at a given temperature. If a substance is not in its solid state, it is not currently a mineral. For example, ice is a mineral, but liquid water is not. The Mohr scale, rates a minerals hardness from one to 10, 10 being the hardest. Diamond is the hardest mineral. Talc is a very soft mineral with a Mohr rating of one.

3. Minerals are wholly inanimate, inorganic compounds. But there are exceptions to this qualifier. There are rare organic substances with definitive chemical compositions that are labeled as “organic minerals." The most famous of this oxymoronic exception is whewellite. Whewellite is a component of kidney stones and coal deposits.

4. Most minerals will grow into a crystal shape, space permitting. Mineral deposits are often small because there is usually a variety of minerals in the same vicinity competing for the same room to grow. A mineral’s crystalline structure determines its hardness, cleavage (how it breaks) and color. There are six different crystal shapes: cubic, tetragonal, orthohombic, hexagonal, monoclinic and triclinic.

5. A mineral is defined by its chemical composition. A rock, on the other hand, does not have a specific chemical composition because it is a composite of a variety of minerals. Minerals are classified based on their anionic group. The major mineral groups are native elements, sulfides, sulfosalts, oxides and hydroxides, halides, carbonates, nitrates, borates, sulfates, phosphates and silicates. Silica is abundant in the Earth’s crust, so silicates are the most common group of mineral.

The height of a typical playground slide is about 1.8 m and it rises at an angle of 30 ∘ above the horizontal.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

$5.94\ \text{m/s}$

$1.7$

$0.577$

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

$\theta$ = Angle of slope = $30^{\circ}$

v = Velocity of child at the bottom of the slide

$\mu_k$ = Coefficient of kinetic friction

$\mu_s$ = Coefficient of static friction

h = Height of slope = 1.8 m

The energy balance of the system is given by

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 1.8}\\\Rightarrow v=5.94\ \text{m/s}$

The speed of the child at the bottom of the slide is $5.94\ \text{m/s}$

Length of the slide is given by

$l=h\sin\theta\\\Rightarrow l=1.8\sin30^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow l=0.9\ \text{m}$

$v=\dfrac{1}{2}\times5.94\\\Rightarrow v=2.97\ \text{m/s}$

The force energy balance of the system is given by

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\mu_kmg\cos\theta l\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=\dfrac{gh-\dfrac{1}{2}v^2}{gl\cos\theta}\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=\dfrac{9.81\times 1.8-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.97^2}{9.81\times 0.9\cos30^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=1.73$

The coefficient of kinetic friction is $1.7$ .

For static friction

$\mu_s\geq\tan30^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow \mu_s\geq0.577$

So, the minimum possible value for the coefficient of static friction is $0.577$ .

Two stars have the same radius but have very different temperatures. the red star has a surface temperature of 3,000 k and the b

dangina [55]

I would say that insofar as the two stars temperatures are presumably closely related to their luminosity, that the blue star at 156,100 k compared to 3000k for the red star then the blue star has a luminosity of 52 times that of the red star.

] A new coal-fired 750 MWe power plant with a thermal efficiency of 42% burns 9000 Btu/lb coal, which contains 1.1% sulfur. a. I

Valentin [98]

Answer:

The net emissions rate of sulfur is 1861 lb/hr

Explanation:

Given that:

The power or the power plant = 750 MWe

Since the power plant with a thermal efficiency of 42% (i.e. 0.42) burns 9000 Btu/lb coal, Then the energy released per one lb of the coal can be computed as:

$\mathtt{=( 0.42\times 9000\times 1055.06) J}$

= 3988126.8 J

= 3.99 MJ

Also, The mass of the burned coal per sec can be calculated by dividing the molecular weight of the power plant by the energy released per one lb.

i.e.

The mass of the coal that is burned per sec $=\dfrac{750}{3.99}$

The mass of the coal that is burned per sec = 187.97 lb/s

The mass of sulfur burned $= \dfrac{1.1}{100} \times 187.97 \ lb/s$

= 2.067 lb/s

To hour; we have:

= 7444 lb/hr

However, If a scrubber with 75% removal efficiency is utilized,

Then; the net emissions rate of sulfur is (1 - 0.75) × 7444 lb/hr

= 0.25 × 7444 lb/hr

= 1861 lb/hr

Hence, the net emissions rate of sulfur is 1861 lb/hr
