A. the distance between towns
having a lesser value by a process of depletion
The density of the sample is:
Density = mass / volume
Density = 9.85 / 0.675
Density = 14.6 g/cm³
If the sample has 95% gold, and 5% silver, its density should be:
0.95 x 19.3 + 0.05 x 10.5
Theoretical density = 18.9 g/cm³
The difference in theoretical and actual densities is very large, making it likely that the jeweler was not telling the truth.
By using thermal energy which is also heat energy the substance in cup A will melt becoming a liquid behaving like the substance in cup B
