What is the density of 18.0-karat gold that is a mixture of 18 parts gold, 5 parts silver, and 1 part copper? (These values are

parts by mass, not volume). Assume that this is a simple mixture having an average density equal to the weighted densities of its constituents. The density of gold is 19.32g/cm3, silver is 10.1g/cm3 and copper is 8.8g/cm3

Answer:

Density of 18.0-karat gold mixture is 15.58 g/cm^3.

Explanation:

A mixture of 18 parts gold, 5 parts silver, and 1 part copper.

Let mass of gold be 18x

Let the mass of silver be 5x

Let the mass of copper be 1x

The density of gold = 19.32g/cm^3

The density of silver = 10.1g/cm^3

The density of copper =8.8g/cm^3

Volume=\frac{Mass}{Density}

Volume of the gold in the mixture = V_1=\frac{18x}{19.32 g/cm^3}

Volume of the silver in the mixture = V_2=\frac{5x}{10.1 g/cm^3}

Volume of the copper in the mixture = V_3=\frac{1x}{8.8 g/cm^3}

Mass of the mixture = M = 18x+5x+1x =24x

Volume of the mixture = V_1+V_2+V_3

Density of the mixture:

\frac{M}{V_1+V_2+V_3}=15.58 g/cm^3

Marie curie was a scientist who won two nobel prizes in the early 1900s for her work with.
Arada [10]

She remains the only person to be honored for accomplishments in two separate sciences. Curie received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903, <u>along with her husband and Henri Becquerel, </u>for their work on radioactivity.

<h3>What did Marie Curie discover?</h3>

Relentless regardless of a vocation of truly requesting and at last lethal work, she found polonium and radium, supported the utilization of radiation in medication and essentially changed how we might interpret radioactivity. Curie was conceived Marya Skłodowska in 1867 in Warsaw.

  • Curie was the first person to win two Nobel Prizes.
  • She managed it all without a fancy lab.
  • Nobel Prizes were a family affair.
  • Curie was the first female professor at Sorbonne University.
  • Curie is buried in the Panthéon in Paris.

While buying a hot plate you notice the resistance of the hot plate is 25.0 . when connected to a 120. v source, how much curren
klemol [59]
The basic relationship between voltage, resistance and current of an electrical device is given by Ohm's law:
V=IR
where
V is the voltage
I is the current
R is the resistance

The hot plate in our problem is connected to a source of V=120 V and it has a resistance of R=25.0 \Omega, therefore we can rearrange the previous equation to calculate the current through the device:
I= \frac{V}{R}= \frac{120 V}{25.0 \Omega}=4.8 A

Sam's job at the amusement park is to slow down and bring to a stop the boats in the log ride.
Mashcka [7]

The amount of work which Sam does need to stop the boat is 784Joule  if boat mass  is 800kg and boat drift in 1.4m/sec.

We know that according to work-energy theorem, change in kinetic energy of the body from one speed to another is equivalent to amount of work done by all forces acting on the body.

So, here we can see that final speed of boat is =0m/sec since Sam need to stop it.

Initial speed of boat is 1.4m/sec.

Also, we know that kinetic energy is given by the below formula:

Kinetic energy=(1/2)mv²

where m is the mass of the body

and v is the speed of the body

Now, from work energy theorem, we get

=>W=(1/2)mv^2_2 - (1/2)mv^2_1

=>W=0-(1/2)×800×(1.4)²

=>W= - 400× 1.4 × 1.4

=>W = -400×1.96

=>W= -784Joule

Here negative sign denotes work has to done against the original motion of boat.

Hence, amount of work needs to be done by Sam is 784Joule.
