Answer:

a solid chemical compound with a fairly well-defined chemical composition and a specific crystal structure that occurs naturally in pure form. The geological definition of mineral normally excludes compounds that occur only in living beings.

Explanation:

Your welcome, your right it was easy :D

A mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic solid, with a definite chemical composition, and an ordered atomic arrangement. This may seem a bit of a mouthful, but if you break it down it becomes simpler.

Minerals are naturally occurring
They are not made by humans

Minerals are inorganic
They have never been alive and are not made up from plants or animals

Minerals are solids
They are not liquids (like water), or gases (like the air around you)

Minerals have a definite chemical composition
Each one is made of a particular mix of chemical elements

Minerals have an ordered atomic arrangement
The chemical elements that make up each mineral are arranged in a particular way - this is why minerals 'grow' as crystals

For a railgun, determine the current required to accelerate a 1000kg space vehicle to earths escape velocity on 10km of track wi
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

the current is 15.68 × 10^{5} A

Explanation:

mass = 1000 kg

magnetic fied = 2T

rail separation = 2m

escape velocity is 11.2km/s  = 11.2 × 10^{3} m/s

distance = 10 km = 10^{4} m

to find out

determine the current

solution

we know force F = I×L×B

here I is current and L is rail separation and B is magnetic field

so F = I ×2×2  = 4 I

so

acceleration is a = \frac{F}{mass}

a =  \frac{4I}{1000} m/s²

so equation of motion

v²-u² = 2 a S

here u is initial velocity and S is distance and a is acceleration and v is final velocity

11.2 × 10^{3} - 0 = 2×  \frac{4I}{1000} × 10^{4}

solve we get I

I = 15.68 × 10^{5} A

so the current is 15.68 × 10^{5} A

Kryger [21]
The formula that is usually used for the calculation of power is the product of force applied and the speed at which the action is done. That is,
                                     P = Fv
We let d be the distance covered and the equation for power would be,
                                     P = (500 N)(d/240 s)
                                     P = 2.08d

The amount of heat needed
Simora [160]
Q = mcθ
 
Where Q = Amount of heat in J
             m = Mass of substance in kg
              θ  = Temperature rise in °C or K
              C = Specific heat capacity in J/kgK

From given data:
Q = 33 kJ = 33 000 J, m= 2.0 kg,   θ  = 80 K,   c = ?

33000 =  2 * c * 80
33000 = 160c
160c   = 33000
       c   =  33000/160 = 206.25

Therefore specific heat capacity is 206.25 J/kgK

How long will it take an object to move 100 meters if the object is traveling with an average speed of 0.5 meter per second
ladessa [460]

Input:

s = 100 m

v = 0.5 m/s

t = ?


Equation:

v = s / t

t = s / v


t = 100 [m] / 0.5 [m/s]

t = 200 s


Answer: 200 seconds.
