Answer:

10 gram gold is added

Explanation:

given data

pure gold = (24/24)

added = 15 grams

gold = 14 K ( 14/24)

gold = 18 K ( 18/24)

to find out

How much pure gold added

solution

we know here that when we add gold to get 20 K gold or 22K

so we added here 15 gram 14 K

we consider here m is pure gold added

so by composition here

we get

15 (14K) + m ( 24 K) = ( 15 + m ) (18) ...................1

solve it and find m

m = 10

so 10 gram gold is added

natima [27]

When the metal spoon comes in contact with the hot soup, heat transfer from hot soup to the spoon because of difference in temperature of the two. The kind of heat transfer represented here is conduction. In conduction, heat is transferred from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature when there is a physical contact between the two.

A merry go round (mass of 200kg and radius 5m) is rotating so that the outside edge is moving 10m/s. A giant bug of 6kd at a dis

romanna [79]

Answer:

2 rad/s

Explanation:

For a rotating object, the linear velocity is given by

$v=\omega r$

where $\omega$ is the angular velocity and $r$ is the radius.

$\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}$

The edge has a linear velocity of 10 m/s and the radius at the edge is 5 m.

$\omega=\dfrac{10 \text{ m/s}}{5 \text{ m}} = 2 \text{ rad/s}$

A charge Q is to be divided into two parts, labeled 'q' and 'Q-q? What is the relationship of q to Q if, at any given distance,

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The two charges are q and Q - q. Let the distance between them is r

Use the formula for coulomb's law for the force between the two charges

$F = \frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}$

So, the force between the charges q and Q - q is given by

$F = \frac{K\left ( Q-q \right )q}}{r^{2}}$

For maxima and minima, differentiate the force with respect to q.

$\frac{dF}{dq} = \frac{k}{r^{2}}\times \left ( Q - 2q \right )$

For maxima and minima, the value of dF/dq = 0

So, we get

q = Q /2

Now $\frac{d^{2}F}{dq^{2}} = \frac{-2k}{r^{2}}$

the double derivate is negative, so the force is maxima when q = Q / 2 .

What engine thrust is required for a rocket of mass 35 kg to leave the launching pad? 3.5 N. 35 N. 351 N. 3,500 N. 35,000 N.

soldi70 [24.7K]

In order for the object to move upward, it needs an upward force
that's at least equal to its own weight.

Weight = (mass) x (gravity) = (35 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 343 N.

The engine thrust has to be more than 343 N.
