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.

astraxan [27]

26.54 m/s  is the magnitude of its velocity just before it strikes the ground

h=100m,v=20m/s,g=9.8m/s

time it takes to reach the ground,

[t=\sqrt2h/g],[=\sqrt2*100/9.8=4.51s]

x= 120m

t= 4.52

v= x/t

v= 120/4.52

v= 26.54 m/s

The "speed at which an object changes its location" can be expressed using a vector number called velocity. Consider a person who moves swiftly while taking two steps forward and two steps back while remaining in one location. Velocity is a vector quantity. Therefore, velocity is cognizant of direction. The direction must be taken into account when determining an object's velocity. A speed of 55 mph is not enough information. The direction must be used to appropriately depict the item's velocity. Simply said, the direction of the velocity vector indicates the direction of motion of an object.

Energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength of a wave. Which would have the GREATEST energy? A wave with a
Ivan

Answer:

A 5

Explanation:

The wave with the least amount of wavelength will have the greatest amount of energy.

Wavelength and energy shares an inverse relationship;

       E  = h f  = \frac{hc}{wavelength}

From this equation, we see that the higher the energy of a wave, the lesser its wavelength.

  • Choice A from the options has the least wavelength.
  • Wavelength is the distance between two successive crests of a wave.

This is why we see that in the electromagnetic spectrum, radio waves have the least energy because they have the longest wavelength.
