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.

12) Water flows through a horizontal pipe of cross-sectional area 10.0 cm2 at a pressure of 0.250 atm with a flow rate is 1.00 L
masha68 [24]

Answer:

The pressure after passing the valve is 23,8 [Kpa] ( 0,234 atm) and the pressure drop is about 1,53 [Kpa]

Explanation:

We need to use the formula of bernoulli, in the attached image we can see the fluid throw the pipe, we also can calculate the velocity inside the pipe using the flow rate and the cross sectional area.

For this case, we don't use the elevation difference and therefore those terms can be cancelled.

When the area has reduced the velocity of the fluid is increased but there is a drop pressure through the valve.

The search for black holes involves searching for The search for black holes involves searching for Group of answer choices sing
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Large spherical regions from which no light is detected

Explanation:

A black hole is an object that has an extremely high density such that it possesses very powerful gravitational force that prevents the escape of all objects including light from it, and consumes nearby objects.

Due to the power of the gravitational force of a black hole, at the center, objects are infinitesimally compressed resulting in the inapplicability of the concept of space and time and the location is known as a singularity

Therefore, the search for black holes involves searching for <em>large spherical regions from which no light is detected</em>.

Zero, a hypothetical planet, has a mass of 5.8 x 1023 kg, a radius of 2.7 x 106 m, and no atmosphere. a 10 kg space probe is to
Tom [10]
To answer these questions just use the equations for potential energy using the mass and heights described. the potential energy at the prescribed heights = the initial kinetic energy required to reach that height.

Make sure you calculate the force of gravity on the surface using the radius of the planet.

What are forces that two objects apply on each other
liq [111]
Answer: Whenever two objects are touching, they usually exert forces on each other. The force of gravity, on the other hand, is an example of a force that exists between objects without them having to be in contact. Objects with mass exert forces on each other via the force of gravity.
