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

Paul [167]

Answer:

36 N

Explanation:

If the object of mass, m = 8 kg is swung in a horizontal circle of radius, r = 2m = length of string with tangential velocity v = 3 m/s, the tension in the string is the centripetal force which is T = mv²/r

= 8 kg × (3 m/s)²/2 m

= 4 kg × 9 m/s²

= 36 N

What is the ultimate source of energy that makes the Sun shine?

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

The sun's energy comes from thermonuclear fusion reactions.

Explanation:

Due to the Sun's strong gravitational pull, hydrogen atoms fuse, resulting in helium atoms. During this process, tremendous amounts of energy are released, or the energy of the Sun.

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Resistance R in a current flow through an object is given by

$R= \frac{\rho L}{A}$

ρ = resistivity of the material

L= length of the object

A= area of cross section

clearly resistance is directly dependent on length of the object.This means greater the length larger will be resistance to current.

thermal resistance R_th is given by

$R_{th} = \frac{L}{KA}$

L= length of the object

A= area of cross section

K = Conductivity of the material

thermal resistance is also is directly dependent on length of the object.This means greater the length larger will be resistance to current.
