Does mica breaks along smooth flat surfaces?
Yes, the micas, which are aluminum silicates, separate into very thin, smooth layers.
Why must electric field line be perpendicular to equipotential surfaces?
If the field lines were not perpendicular to the surface, then they could be decomposed into components perpendicular and parallel to the surface. But if there is an E-field along the surface, the surface is no longer an equipotential.
How you find moment of inertia of isosceles triangle?
Along the height it is hb^3/48 and along base it is bh^3/36
To slide or move a figure to a new position along a straight line?
to slide or move a figure to a new position along a striaght line
A polyhedron is a two-dimensional figure bounded by polygons?
A polyhedron is a three-dimensional figure formed by flat surfaces that are bounded by polygons joining along their sides (the faces of the polyhedron).A circle is not a polygon, but we can say that a circle is the limit of a regular polygon with n sides. It means that if n becomes larger and larger, the polygon shape approaches to a circle. A circle is a two dimensional figure as a polygon is, but a three dimensional figure whose base(s) is/are a circle cannot be called a polyhedron.
Breaking of a mineral along irregular surfaces called?
The breaking of a mineral along irregular surfaces is called a fracture. The splitting of a mineral along smooth, flat surfaces is called cleavage.
What is the splitting of a mineral along flat surfaces?
cleavage
A mineral that splits into smooth flat pieces demonstrates this property.?
cleavage
Splitting into pieces with smooth regular surfaces that reflect light?
This process is called cleavage and is a property of minerals. Minerals with cleavage break along planes of weakness into smooth, flat surfaces that reflect light. Cleavage is a result of the arrangement of atoms within the mineral, and the number and orientation of cleavage planes can vary between different minerals.
Is it true or false that fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break along a smooth flat surface?
False. Fracture refers to how a mineral breaks when it does not break along a cleavage plane. Minerals can break along smooth flat surfaces (cleavage) or irregular surfaces (fracture) depending on their internal structure and arrangement of atoms.
Is cleavage splitting of rocks in definite surfaces?
Cleavage is the splitting of rocks or minerals along defined surfaces.
When a mineral breaks along a weakly boned plane it is called?
A mineral that breaks along a weakly bonded plane is called "cleavage". Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along smooth, flat surfaces determined by its internal atomic structure.
What is the difference between fracture and cleavage in a mineral?
Cleavage is the breaking of a mineral along flat surfaces. Fracture, on the hand is just the chipping or "fracture" of a mineral.Cleavage is the tendency to break along flat surfaces, and fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break into irregular pieces.
What is the tendency of a mineral to break along planes of weakness producing smooth parallel breaks known as?
The tendency of a mineral to break along planes of weakness and produce smooth parallel breaks is known as cleavage. It occurs due to the internal arrangement of atoms within the mineral, which results in distinct planes of weakness along which the mineral will break when subjected to stress.
When a mineral splits into pieces that smooth and flat it is called?
Cleavage. Minerals with cleavage break along specific planes, resulting in smooth and flat surfaces. The number and angle of cleavage planes depend on the mineral's atomic structure.
What are 3 differences between cleavage and fracture?
Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along planes of weak atomic bonding, resulting in smooth, flat surfaces, while fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break with rough, irregular surfaces. Cleavage results in smooth, reflective surfaces that reflect light, whereas fracture surfaces are dull and do not reflect light. Cleavage is a property that is characteristic of certain minerals and can be used for mineral identification, while fracture can vary depending on the specific conditions of the break and is less consistent across different minerals.
If a mineral lacks planes along which it may cleave what will occur?
If a mineral lacks planes along which it may cleave, it will likely fracture instead of cleave. This means that the mineral will break irregularly and not along smooth, flat surfaces like in cleavage. The fracture pattern can vary depending on the mineral's physical properties.
