Which best describes the definition for the atomic mass of an element?


It is a weighted average of the masses of an element’s isotopes.

It is a ratio based on the mass of the carbon-12 atom.

It is the sum of the protons and neutrons in one atom of the element.

It is twice the number of protons in one atom of the element.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It is a weighted average of the masses of an element’s isotopes.

Explanation:

The best definition of the atom mass of an element is that it is a weighted average of the masses of an element's isotopes.

Isotopes of an element have the same electronic configuration but differ in only their masses. The atomic mass of an element can be derived from the geonormal abundances of this isotopes. It is the average of all the isotopes of an element.

 Atomic mass  = ∑m[tex]_{i}[/tex] a[tex]_{i}[/tex]

where m[tex]_{i}[/tex] is the mass of the isotope i

            a[tex]_{i}[/tex] is the abundance of the isotope i

A .The scene needs no changes because light and sound waves can both travel through space.


B. The scene needs changes because neither light waves nor sound waves can travel through space.

C. The scene needs changes because sound waves can travel through space, but light waves cannot.

D. The scene needs changes because light waves can travel through space, but sound waves cannot.

Answer:

It is D.

Explanation:

Sound travels by the movement of particles bumping against each other and if there is no particles in a vacuum(space) then there is no sound. Light can travel through space because it doesn't need to travel by/through particles.

A mortar shell is accidentally shot straight up with an initial speed of 147 m/s. How long does it take for the shell to reach its maximum height? How high does the shell rise? If the shell falls straight down after is stops, what is its velocity when it hits the ground? What is the total time the shell is in the air?

Answers

Answer:

1) t ≈ 14.985 seconds

2) The maximum height reached ≈ 1101.4 meters

3) The velocity with which it hits the ground = 147 m/s

4) The total time in the air ≈ 29.969 seconds  

Explanation:

1) The given information are;

The initial velocity of the mortar shell = 147 m/s

The direction of the mortar shell = Vertically upwards

Therefore, we have, from the equation of motion

v = u - g·t

Where;

v = The final velocity = 0 at maximum height

u = The initial velocity = 147 m/s

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore, we have;

0 = 147 - 9.81 × t

9.81 × t = 147

t = 147/9.81 ≈ 14.985 seconds

t ≈ 14.985 seconds

2) From the equation of motion, v² = u² - 2×g×s

Where;

s = The maximum height reached

We have;

0² = 147² - 2×9.81×s

2×9.81×s = 147²

s = 147²/(2×9.81) ≈ 1101.4 meters

The maximum height reached ≈ 1101.4 meters

3) The velocity with which it hits the ground is equal to the initial velocity = 147 m/s

4) The total time in the air = 2 × The time it takes to reach maximum height

The total time in the air = 2 × 14.985 ≈ 29.969 seconds

The total time in the air ≈ 29.969 seconds

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

A stretching routine should target most of the main muscles in the body and at least one stretching exercise per section of the body. Also in a work environment since individual's sizes, ages, and cultures vary you should design a routine that is for beginners and very easy and effective. Regardless, each individual should be able to move at their own pace and push as far as they are physically able. One such routine would be the one in the attached picture below which targets all major areas, is easy and effective. It starts at the neck muscles and works its way down the arms, back, and legs.

4 x 10-24 Hz
4 x 105 Hz
1 x 1011 Hz

Answers

The frequency of this wave will be 1 × 10¹¹ Hz. Option d is correct. Frequency is the inverse of the time period.

What is the frequency?

Frequency is defined as the number of repetitions of a wave occurring waves in 1 second.

The given data in the problem is;

v is the speed of light =  2 x 10⁸ m/s

[tex]\lambda[/tex] is the wavelength = 2 x 10⁻³ m,

f is the frequency of the wave is to be found;

Frequency is given by the formula as,

[tex]\rm v = \lambda \times f \\\\\ \rm f = \frac{v}{\lambda} \\\\ \rm f = \frac{2 \times 10^8}{2 \times 10^-3} \\\\ \rm f = 1 \times 10^{11} \ Hz[/tex]

Hence the frequency of this wave will be 1 × 10¹¹ Hz. Option d is correct.

A hockey puck sliding on a frozen lake comes
to rest after traveling 176 m.
If its initial velocity is 2.3 m/s, what is its
acceleration

Answers

Given parameters:

Distance traveled  = 176m

Initial velocity  = 2.3m/s

Unknown:

Acceleration  = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the change in velocity with time. To solve this problem, we apply one of the motion equations;

              V²   = U²  + 2as

 where V is the final velocity

              U is the initial velocity

               a is the acceleration

               s is the distance

       final velocity is 0;

                   0²  = 2.3² + 2 x a x 176

                   -5.29  = 352a

                    a  = - [tex]\frac{5.29}{352}[/tex]   = - 0.015m/s²

What is the speed of a snail moving at a rate of 3 inches per minute in [m/s]? Recall that 1 [m] = 39 [in]. Round to the nearest ten thousandth (4 places after the decimal).

Answers

Answer:

0.0013 m/s

Explanation:

Speed in inches per minute = 3 inches per minute

Speed in m/s =?

Next, we shall convert 3 inches per minute (3 in/min) to metre per minute.(m/min)

39 in/min = 1 m/min

Therefore,

3 in/min = 3 in/min × 1 m/min / 39 in/min

3 in/min = 1/13 m/min

Finally, we shall convert 1/13 m/min to m/s. This can be obtained as follow:

1 m/min = 1/60 m/s

Therefore,

1/13 m/min = 1/13 m/min × 1/60 m/s / 1 m/min

1/13 m/min = 1/780 m/s

1/13 m/min = 0.0013 m/s

Thus, 3 in/min is equivalent to 0.0013 m/s.

Therefore the speed of the snail in m/s is 0.0013 m/s

b. 2.54x10^-8N, to the right
c. 3.4x10^-8N, to the left
d. 3.4x10^-8N, to the right

Answers

Answer is A 2.8 x 10^-8 N, to the right

The net gravitational force on mass A due to masses B and C is required.

The correct option is a. [tex]2.8\times 10^{-8}\ \text{N}[/tex] to the right.

G = Gravitational constant = [tex]6.674\times 10^{-11}\ \text{Nm}^2/\text{kg}^2[/tex]

[tex]r_{AB}[/tex] = Distance between A and B = 0.4+0.1 = 0.5 m

[tex]r_{AC}[/tex] = Distance between A and C = 0.1 m

[tex]m_A=m_B=m_c[/tex] = Mass of each particle = 2 kg

The required force is

[tex]F_A=F_{AB}+F_{AC}\\ =\dfrac{Gm_Am_B}{r_{AB}^2}+\dfrac{Gm_Am_C}{r_{AC}^2}\\ =Gm^2\left(\dfrac{1}{r_{AB}^2}+\dfrac{1}{r_{AC}^2}\right)\\ =6.674\times 10^{-11}\times 2^2\left(\dfrac{1}{0.5^2}+\dfrac{1}{0.1^2}\right)\\ =2.8\times 10^{-8}\ \text{N}[/tex]

The magnitude of force will be [tex]2.8\times 10^{-8}\ \text{N}[/tex]

The direction will be towards the right since C is closer to A.
