∙ 11y agoIf a mineral has a specific gravity of 5.5, it means that it is 5.5 times denser than water. This means that in 1 cm3 of the mineral, there is 5.5 times more matter compared to 1 cm3 of water.
Soil pores contain mineral matter along with organic matter, air, and water. The percentage of mineral matter in soil pores varies depending on the soil type and composition, but typically ranges from 40-60%. This mineral matter contributes to the physical structure and nutrient content of the soil.
A mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic solid that is formed through geological processes within the Earth's crust. Minerals are typically composed of one or more chemical elements arranged in a specific atomic structure.
No, electricity is not a mineral. Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic substances with a specific chemical composition and structure, while electricity is a form of energy produced by the movement of charged particles.
The amount of mass packed into a certain volume is the density of the substance. Density is calculated by dividing the mass of the substance by its volume. The unit for density is typically grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm^3) or kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m^3).
Gravity is the pull from matter. Less matter means less gravity, so yes.
Since water has a specific gravity of 1, the mineral with a specific gravity of 5.5 is 5.5 times denser than water. This means that there is 5.5 times more matter in 1 cm cubed of the mineral compared to water.
The same as the specific gravity for copper which is 8930. It doesn't matter what shape the copper is made into... it still has the same specific gravity.
Density aka specific gravity is a measure of the amount of matter in a given volume. Actually specific gravity is not the measure of the amount of matter in a given value, it is a comparison of the density of the substance to water's density. Specific gravity is a unitless quantity.
A cm (centimetre) is a measure of distance, not volume. As a result, there can be no matter inside 1 cm of the mineral.
Gas is not classified as animal, mineral, or vegetable. It is considered a state of matter that has no specific source classification.
Specific gravity is an intensive property. It does not depend on the amount of the substance present and remains constant regardless of the size of the sample.
The specific gravity of a substance is influenced by its density, temperature, and pressure. The specific gravity is a measure of how dense a substance is compared to the density of water, with water having a specific gravity of 1. Materials with specific gravities greater than 1 are denser than water, while those less than 1 are less dense.
Gravity is NOT matter, it is a force that effects matter.
Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects with mass. It is not specific to the Earth, but it is the force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth when they are near it.
Matter causes gravity in the first place.
No, a person is not a mineral. Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic substances with a specific chemical composition and crystal structure, while a person is a living organism composed of organic matter.
The amount of matter in a mineral, or any other substance, is measured as its mass.
