Glass has a hardness that is in the middle of the hardness scale. What is the hardness of Glass?

sweet [91]

Answer: 5.5

Explanation:

Let's start by explaining that hardness is a property that materials have related to the opposition or resistance they offer to alterations such as penetration, abrasion, scratching, cutting, and permanent deformations, among others.

In this context, several hardness scales have been developed to catalog the materials (specifically minerals), being the Mohs scale the best known. This scale, proposed by the German geologist Friedrich Mohs in 1825, consists of a ratio of ten minerals numbered in increasing order by hardness, from least to greatest.

This is how the scale starts at 1 with the talc (considered the softest material) and ends at 10 with the diamond as the hardest.

Now, if we are told that the glass is in the middle of the hardness scale that goes from 1 to 10, logically its value will be 5 (volcanic glass). However, according to the scale, the glass is at 5.5.

Belly-flop Bernie dives from atop a tall flagpole into a swimming pool below. His potential energy at the top is 7000 J (relativ

elena55 [62]

Answer:

KE₂ = 6000 J

Explanation:

Given that

Potential energy at top U₁= 7000 J

Potential energy at bottom U₂= 1000 J

The kinetic energy at top ,KE₁= 0 J

Lets take kinetic energy at bottom level = KE₂

Now from energy conservation

U₁+ KE₁= U₂+ KE₂

Now by putting the values

U₁+ KE₁= U₂+ KE₂

7000+ 0 = 1000+ KE₂

KE₂ = 7000 - 1000 J

KE₂ = 6000 J

Therefore the kinetic energy at bottom is 6000 J.

A 150kg motorcycle starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate along with a distance of 350m. The applied force is 250N

mart [117]

Answer:

205N

Explanation:

The net force (F) is the difference between the applied force( $F_{A}$ ) and the kinetic frictional force( $F_{R}$ ). i.e

F = $F_{A}$ - $F_{R}$ -----------------(i)

Note that;

$F_{R}$ = μmg

Where;

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction

m = mass of the body

g = acceleration due to gravity = 10m/s²

Equation (i) then becomes;

F = $F_{A}$ - μmg -------------------(ii)

<em>Given from question;</em>

m = mass of motorcycle = 150kg

μ = 0.03

$F_{A}$ = 250N

Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;

F = 250 - (0.03 x 150 x 10)

F = 250 - (45)

F = 205N

Therefore, the net force applied to the motorcycle is 205N

By how much do the critical angles for red (660 nm) and violet (410 nm) light differ in a diamond surrounded by air?

Stella [2.4K]

the critical angle for red light in diamond is 24.51°

critical angle for violet light in diamond is 24.01°.

given:

wavelength of red light λr =660nm

wavelength of violet light λv =410nm

refractive index for air=1

as the refractive index of red and violet colour in diamond is

Refractive index of red color nr= 2.407

Refractive index of violet color nv= 2.451

as it is mentioned that angle is critical angle,thus θr =90°

so,from Snell's law

n1sinθc=n2 sin 90°

Here,

n1 is the refractive index for incident medium

n2 is the refractive index for refractive medium

θc is the critical angle after which light starts reflecting internally

The critical angle for red light is here,n1=2.407, n2=1

n1sinθc=n2 sin 90°

2.407×sin θc=1×1

sin θc =(1/2.407)

θc=sin-1 0.415

θc=24.51°

Thus,the critical angle for red light in diamond is 24.51°

The critical angle for violet light is,

here,n1=2.451,n2=1

n1sinθc=n2 sin 90°

2.407×sin θc=1×1

sin θc= (1/2.451)

θc=sin-1 0.407

=24.01°

Thus,the critical angle for violet light in diamond is 24.01°.
