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:

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

You venture out on a cold winter morning to warm up your vehicle. You have layers of cotton/polyester blend clothes on and from

maxonik [38]

Answer:

A. There is a localization of positive charge near the door handle.

Explanation:

When on a cold morning a person wearing cotton/ polyester cloth walking on the carpet moves toward his car then due to friction between the feet and the carpet there are transfer of electrons from the carpet to our feet, and since our body is a good conductor of electricity the charges spread throughout on the surface of or body.

When the person brings his hands close to the neutral conducting door of the car it gets induced with equal intensity of opposite charge to our hands thus having a concentration of positive charges near to the hand on the car's door is developed as a result of polarization within the conductor.

An object of height 2.7 cm is placed 29 cm in front of a diverging lens of focal length 16 cm. Behind the diverging lens, and 12

kati45 [8]

Answer:

A) q = -8.488 cm , B) m = 0.29

Explanation:

A) For this exercise in geometric optics, we will use the equation of the constructor

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}$

where p and q are the distance to the object and image, respectively and f is the focal length

in our case the distance the object is p = 29 cm the focal length of a diverging lens is negative and indicates that it is f = - 12 cm

$\frac{1}{q} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{p}$

we calculate

$\frac{1}{q} = - \frac{1}{12} - \frac{1}{29}$

$\frac{1}{q}$ = - 0.1178

q = -8.488 cm

the negative sign indicates that the image is virtual

B) the magnification is given

$m = \frac{h'}{h} = - \frac{q}{p}$

we substitute

m = $- \frac{-8.488}{29}$

m = 0.29

the positive sign indicates that the image is right

A race car accelerates from 0 m/s to 30.0 m/s with a displacement of

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

4. 10.0 m/s²

Explanation:

I) if initial velocity is 'v₀', the final velocity is 'v', the accelaration is 'a', the distance is 'L' and elapsed time if 't', then:

$1. \ a=\frac{v-v_0}{t};$

$2. \ L=\frac{at^2}{2}.$

II) using these two equations after substitution v₀=0; v=30 and L=45:

$\left \{{{45 =\frac{at^2}{2}} \atop {a=\frac{30-0}{t} }} \right.$

$\left \{ {{at^2=90} \atop {at=30}} \right. \ \ \left \{ {{a=10} \atop {t=3}} \right.$ $=> \ a=10\frac{m}{s^2}$
