Explain why the atomic mass of an element is weighted average mass

Physics
1 answer:
madreJ [45]2 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

The mass written on the periodic table is an average atomic mass taken from all known isotopes of an element. This average is a weighted average, meaning the isotope's relative abundance changes its impact on the final average. The reason this is done is because there is no set mass for an element.

How could you increase the potential energy of the apple?
VMariaS [17]
By putting an apple up on high ground. (That is 1 example)
This creates a higher gravitational force, and when it falls down it would have a lot of kinetic energy. But, if put on low ground, it wouldn't have enough potential energy to increase the kinetic energy.

Answer:

The correct option is a

Explanation:

This question seeks to test a general rule in physics (on charges) which states that <u>like charges repel but unlike charges attract</u>. This means that, a negatively charged substance will repel or not attract another negatively charged material and the same applies to a positively charged substance also. However, a <u>negatively charged substance will attract a positively charged material and vice versa,</u> hence only a negatively charged rod will attract a positively charged hanging ball.

Goryan [66]

Answer:

62.5 miles per hour

Explanation:

Speed = Distance travelled / Time taken

Speed = 125/2 = 62.5

You derive the units of the speed...by using the speed formula....,

Speed = Distance/Time

Speed = miles/hour

Hence the units for the speed = miles/hour
