What would you need to know in order to calculate how many pre-1982 pennies and post-1982 pennies are in the mixed sample?

<span>In 1982, the physical composition of the penny was changed; the ratio of the zinc to copper was essentially reversed. As a result, a pre-82 penny has a different density from a post-82 penny. It would help to know several things: first, the average mass and density of both a single pre and post 82 penny. Then you need to know how many pennies in total are in the mixed sample. You would also need to know the mass and density measures of "pure" samples, that is, if we have a mixed sample of 20 pennies, it would be useful to know the mass and density measurements of 20 pre-82 and 20 post-82 pennies. You can then figure out your estimate based on the variances in the density measurements.</span>

Explain, in your own words, why different elements produce different colors of light when heated.
fgiga [73]
Different elements produce different colors of light when heated because the electrons in these elements have different permissible energy levels. When an element is heated, the electrons inside it become excited and move to an higher energy level from the ground state. When the electrons drop from this higher energy level, they typically emit energy quantum, the color of the light that is observed at this stage depends on difference that exist in the two energy levels.<span />
