Gold in its pure form is too soft to be used for most jewelry. Therefore, the gold is mixed with other metals to produce an allo

y. The composition of gold alloys are always calculated by mass, using the karat (kt) as a unit of measure. A karat represents a proportion by mass of one part in twenty-four. The higher the karat value, the higher the proportion of gold in relation to the total metal content. Pure gold is therefore 24 karat, while an 18-karat gold alloy contains (at least) 18 parts (by mass) of gold out of 24 parts total.
In a sample of 18-karat gold, 75 percent of the total mass is pure gold, while the rest is typically 16 percent silver and 9 percent copper. If the density of pure gold is rhogold = 19.3 g/cm^3, while the densitites of silver and copper are respectively rhosilver = 10.5 g/cm^3 and rhocopper = 8.90 g/cm^3.
a) What is the overall density rho18kt of this alloy of 18-karat gold?
Express your answer in grams per cubic centimeter to three significant figures.

Answer:

Explanation:18kt alloy contains

i) 75% of gold

rhogold=19.3g/cm^3

=75/100×19.3

=14.475g/cm^3

ii) 16% of silver

rhosilver=10.5g/cm^3

=16/100×10.5

=1.68g/cm^3

iii) 9% of copper

rhocopper =8.90g/cm^3

=9/100×8.9

=0.801g/cm^3

Overall density of 18kt gold

=(0.801+1.68+14.475)g/cm^3

=16.956g/cm^3

=17g/cm^3 to 3s.f

Marcia pokes fun at her husband Brian because he loves to sing in the shower every morning, but
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

<em>Since I can see no choices, I answered it in my own understanding.</em>

Brian - amplitude and frequency

Marcia - amplitude and longitudinal wave

Explanation:

"Sound" and "sound waves" are essential part of a person's life. They can be used for<u> communicating</u> and <u>detecting some object</u>s.

Brian loves singing in the shower which means that he is using a greater amplitude. Amplitude refers to the<em> intensity of the sound </em>or the amount of energy that a sound carries. When one sings in the shower, the sound cannot travel very far. It bounces immediately back to the person singing thus, making the sound bigger. Brian is also using a <em>different range of </em><em>frequency</em><em> compared to his normal way of talking.</em> The frequency of a normal male voice is normally 85 to 180 Hz. A person singing may have a frequency as high as 1,500 Hz.

Marcia talks loudly on the phone. This means that she is also using a greater amplitude because the intensity of her voice is big. Since she is using the telephone, this means that her voice travels in a longitudinal wave through the telephone. This allows her voice to reach to the person on the other end of the line.

Construct a graph of position versus time for the motion of a dog, using the data in the table below. Explain how the graph indi
Lynna [10]

Answer:

The dog is moving at a constant speed

Explanation:

Given that,

Position : 5, 10, 15, 20, 25

Time = 5. 10, 15, 20, 25

We need to draw a position time graph

Using given data

A graph of position and time shows the speed.

According to graph,

The graph indicates that the dog is moving at a constant speed because the graph is straight line.

Hence, The dog is moving at a constant speed
