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
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.
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
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
Is cleavage splitting of rocks in definite surfaces?
Cleavage is the splitting of rocks or minerals along defined surfaces.
What is the tendency of a mineral to break along planes of weakness producing smooth parallel breaks known as?
Cleavage is the tendency of a minerals to break along flat surfaces. It means that the make up of the mineral is uneven, dense on one side and not dense in the other, causing the mineral to break along flat surfaces. The tendency of a mineral to break irregurlary is fracture.
What does the presence of cleavage planes within a mineral tell you about the chemical bonds that hold a mineral together?
minerals with cleavage break along smooth, flat surfaces in one or more directions.
What is the manner in which a mineral breaks along curved or irregular surfaces?
the manner in which a mineral breaks along either curved or irregular surfaces is called a FRACTURE.
What is a manner in which a mineral breaks along curved or irregular surfaces?
the manner in which a mineral breaks along either curved or irregular surfaces is called a FRACTURE.
What is a manner in which a mineral breaks along either curved or irregular surfaces?
the manner in which a mineral breaks along either curved or irregular surfaces is called a FRACTURE.
Common mineral that breaks along smooth flat surface?
cleavage, if a natural property of the mineral (e.g. mica); or a fault, such as in a gemstone.
What scientist use to determine a minerals resistance to being scratched?
Moh's hardness scale was used to determine a mineral's resistance to being scratched. The tendency of a mineral to break along smooth flat surfaces is cleavage.
Think critically what does the presence of cleavage planes within a mineral tell you about the chemical bonds that hold the mineral together?
It tells you that that mineral is smooth and flat ,and so are the chemical bonds. Because if it didn't it would be a fracture which means it is jagged and not smooth. I am sure of this answer because cleavage means physical property of some minerals that cause them to break along smooth, flat surfaces.
What is the difference between mineral cleavage and mineral fracture.?
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.
