No they just look cooler and most band or orchestra directors won't let you use one because they are distracting.
A baritone saxophone is typically made from brass, which is often plated with nickel or lacquered for durability and aesthetic appeal. The instrument may also incorporate other materials such as rubber for pads, felt for key mechanisms, and metal for springs. Some modern baritone saxophones may feature synthetic materials in specific components to enhance performance and longevity. Overall, the combination of these materials contributes to the instrument's rich tone and structural integrity.
By the color, obviously. NIckel plated flutes are slightly golden and well, silver plated, they have silver color.
Flutes may be made of sterling silver, although most are made of brass and plated with either silver or nickel-silver. Flutes can also be made of wood, but that is no longer common. Saxophones and metal clarinets have also been made of brass and plated in silver. This was the most common finish in the early years of the saxophone (into the 1920's and 30's) before better lacquers were developed.
Depending on who makes them and their quality, they are made from either silver, nickel, or nickel-plated base metal.
Student level flutes will generally be made of a Nickel Silver compound material. Intermediate flutes will have a pure Silver head joint, and usually a Silver plated Nickel body. Higher level flutes will be made of pure Silver (.925-.97). The more pure the material, the better the tone and generally the more expensive it will be. You can also find very high end flutes made of Gold (in varying Karats) and even Platinum.
No, because a plated metal is not a mixture of elements.
probably some time after it was made. the military model was not nickel plated.
assuming it was nickel plated after market, it would lose value for that reason.....

Silver plated nickel is a metal object that has a thin layer of silver electroplated onto a nickel substrate. This plating enhances the appearance of the nickel object by giving it a shiny silver finish. Silver plated nickel is commonly used in decorative items, tableware, and jewelry.

No. Any cent plated with nickel was altered outside of the mint. That makes it a damaged coin worth 1 cent only.
Brass instruments are, as the name suggests, made out of brass. They are then either lacquered, or silver plated, depending on the player's preferences.
