Why are metals sometimes added to gold?

Physics

MrRa [10]3 years ago

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 1000-kg whale swims horizontally to the right at a speed of 6.0 m/s. It suddenly collides directly with a stationary seal of m
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Momentum after collision will be 6000 kgm/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the whale = 1000

Initial velocity v = 6 m/sec

It collides with other mass of 200 kg which is at stationary

Initial momentum of the whale = 1000×6 = 6000 kgm/sec

We have to find the momentum after collision

From conservation of momentum

Initial momentum = final momentum

So final momentum = 6000 kgm/sec

Which is the pathway for information through a neuron?
Mariulka [41]
Information travels along the axon once an impulse is received. The axon then takes it to the place where it can be sent off to another neuron

A uniformly charged, straight filament 7.00m in length has a total positive charge of 2.00μC. An uncharged card-board cylinder 2
TEA [102]

The electric field at the surface of the cylinder is 51428V/m

Given data:

• The length of the charge is l=  7m.

• The charge is q = 2μC..

• The radius the cylinder is r = 10 cm

Since the filament length is so large as compared to the cylinder length that the infinite line of charge can be assumed.

The expression to calculate the electric field is given as,

E=2kλ/r

Here, λ is the linear charge density.

Substitute the values in the above equation,

E = (2×9×109N⋅m^2/C^2×2×10^−6C)/0.1m×7m

E = 51428N/C×(V/m)/(N/C)

=51428V/m

An electric charge is the property of matter where it has more or fewer electrons than protons in its atoms. Electrons carry a negative charge and protons carry a positive charge. Matter is positively charged if it contains more protons than electrons, and negatively charged if it contains more electrons than protons.
