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

Gravity is the force that pulls you down.
(This is kind of a duh! question ... How do we know
which way is "down" ?  We feel gravity, and we call
that the "down" direction.)

Magnetic force holds things to fridge doors.

Contact forces need to touch something in order to
exert their force.
Example:  Gravity is NOT a contact force.

I don't know about "rubbing things away".
This might be a description of friction, but if so,
it's not a good one.

Buoyant force is what keeps floating things floating.

Air resistance slows things down when they move in air.

A 0.20-kg block rests on a frictionless level surface and is attached to a horizontally aligned spring with a spring constant of
solmaris [256]

Answer:

0.57 ms^{-1}

Explanation:

k = spring constant of the spring = 40 Nm⁻¹

A = amplitude of the simple harmonic motion = 4 cm = 0.04 m

m = mass of the block attached to spring = 0.20 kg

w = angular frequency of the simple harmonic motion

Angular frequency of the simple harmonic motion is given as w = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\w = \sqrt{\frac{40}{0.20} }\\w = 14.14 rads^{-1}

v = Speed of the block as it pass the equilibrium point

Speed of the block as it pass the equilibrium point is given as

v = A w\\v = (0.04) (14.14)\\v = 0.57 ms^{-1}
