Scale: (soft 1-->6 hardest)
<span>1=Talc 2=Gypsum 3=Calcite 4=Fluorite 5=Apatite 6=Orthoclase
</span>Mineral #1 can only scratch two other minerals therefore it must have a hardness level of 2+1=3 which is Calcite. (scratches talc, gypsum)
Mineral #2 can scratch four other minerals therefore it must have a hardness level of 4+1=5 which is Apatite. (scratches all but Apatite, Orthoclase)
Looking through the possible conclusions.. It looks like answer is D.
Answer:
Yes it is possible to control to some extent.
Explanation:
In general there are two types of magnets : permanent and temporary (electromagnets).
Electromagnets can be controlled since it basically depends on electricity. By switching on and off the electric supply the magnets also can be switched on and off respectively. We can also control the intensity of magnetic power.
On the other hand permanent magnet cannot be switched on and off but the magnetic properties can be altered event to an extent when it loses all its magnetic properties. It can be caused by high temperature, physical impact and also exposure to other magnetic fields. For every element there is a point of temperature called curie temperature above which the permanent magnet loses its magnetic properties. This can be brought back again by induced magnetism. The only issue is that induced magnetism work in most cases but not in all.
Answer:
a) 
b) the motorcycle travels 155 m
Explanation:
Let 
, then consider the equation of motion for the motorcycle (accelerated) and for the car (non accelerated):
where:
is the speed of the motorcycle at time 2
is the velocity of the car (constant)
is the velocity of the car and the motorcycle at time 1
d is the distance between the car and the motorcycle at time 1
x is the distance traveled by the car between time 1 and time 2
Solving the system of equations:
![\left[\begin{array}{cc}car&motorcycle\\x=v_0\Delta{t}&x+d=(\frac{v_0+v_{m2}}{2}}) \Delta{t}\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Dcar%26motorcycle%5C%5Cx%3Dv_0%5CDelta%7Bt%7D%26x%2Bd%3D%28%5Cfrac%7Bv_0%2Bv_%7Bm2%7D%7D%7B2%7D%7D%29%20%5CDelta%7Bt%7D%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
For the second part, we need to calculate x+d, so you can use the equation of the car to calculate x:
Answer:
The first flowering plants appeared in the Mesozoic era, not the Paleozoic era
Explanation:
The Mesozoic era is well known and most famous because of the rule of the dinosaurs which were the dominant animals for most of this are. Also, it is the era in which the mammals appeared, though they lived in the shadows of the dinosaurs and only became dominant after their extinction. Another important evolution that took place and is not mentioned very often is the appearance of the first flowering plants. This was a revolutionary trait for the plants, and it helped them to survive in the changing climate on Earth. Soon this trait enabled this type of plants to spread out significantly and to become one of the most dominant organisms on the planet in the following era.
