Answer: In order for the mixture of gold and added metals to become hard and suitable for processing.

Explanation: Gold is precious metal, it has a great value, and it used to serve as a means of payment, but also proof of wealth, status and power. Gold as such is soft, and in order to improve hardness it is mixed with another metal, such as nickel, copper, palladium, zinc, etc. For example, white gold is obtained with a mixture of pure gold and nickel, which gives the mixture a white color, and is sufficiently tough suitable for making rings. Based on the composition of the mixture that is the percentage of gold in the mixture, the number of karats is determined, which also means the value of gold itself. For example, the 999 gold has 99.9% of the gold in the mixture, which means 24 K (karats), and represents the so-called mixture with the most valuable percentage of gold, or the purest of which can be purchased.

Because solo gold isn't strong material. But with admixture it's stronger.

A hill that has a 15.5% grade is one that rises 15.5 m vertically for every 100.0 m of distance in the horizontal direction. At

Andreas93 [3]

The angle of incline of the hill above the horizontal is 8.81°.

Since the hill has a 15.5% grade is one that rises 15.5 m vertically for every 100.0 m of distance in the horizontal direction.

<h3>Tangent of the angle of the incline of the hill,</h3>

The tangent of the angle of the incline of the hill, Ф is

tanФ = vertical rise/horizontal distance = grade of hill

Now, the vertical rise = 15.5 m and the horizontal distance = 100.0 m

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

tanФ = vertical rise/horizontal run

tanФ = 15.5 m/100.0 m

tanФ = 0.155

<h3>Angle of incline of the hill</h3>

Taking inverse tan of both sides, we have

Ф = tan⁻¹(0.155)

Ф = 8.81°

So, the angle of incline of the hill above the horizontal is 8.81°.

Explain what voltage,current, resistance are and how they relate to Ohms law. Then give examples

SOVA2 [1]

Voltage is the difference in charge between two points.
Current is the rate the charge flows
Resistance is the tendency a material has to resist the flow of charge (current)
Combining voltage resistance and current Ohm developed the formula
V (Voltage)= I (Current) x R (Resistance)

Please helps me with this question..

Alenkasestr [34]

1) S.I. Unit for electric current = "Ampere"

2) S.I. Unit for resistance = "Ohm"

3) S.I. Unit for potential difference = "Volt"

Hope this helps!

Finally, you are ready to answer the main question. Cheetahs, the fastest of the great cats, can reach 50.0 miles/hour in 2.22 s

muminat

Answer:

Acceleration = 10.06 m/s²

Explanation:

1 mile = 1.6093km

1609.3m = 1 mile

1 m = $\frac{1}{1609}$ mile

50.0 miles/hour = $\frac{50 * 1609.3}{60 * 60}$ m/s

= 22.35m/s

from equation

S = Ut + 1/2 at²

v = U + at

22.35 = 0 + a * 2.22

a = 22.35 ÷ 2.22

= 10.06 m/s²
