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.

Answer:

Since strong nuclear forces involve only nuclear particles (not electrons, bonds, etc)  items 3 and 4 are eliminated.

Again item 2 refers to bonds between atoms and is eliminated.

This leaves only item 1.

Nuclear forces are very short range forces between components of the nucleus.

Weak nuclear forces are trillions of times smaller than strong forces.

Gravitational forces are much much smaller than the weak nuclear force.

how long would it take for a resultant upward force of 100N to increase the speed of 50kg object from 100m/s to 150m/s​
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

25 sec

Explanation:

F = ma

100 = 50 a

a = 2 m/s^2

vf = vo + at

150 = 100 +  2 t

50 = 2 t

t = 25 sec

A spacecraft is moving past the earth at a constant speed of 0.60 times the speed of light. The astronaut measures the time inte
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

the time interval that an earth observer measures is 4 seconds

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

speed of the spacecraft as it moves past the is 0.6 times the speed of light

we know that speed of light c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

so speed of spacecraft v = 0.6 × c = 0.6c

time interval between ticks of the spacecraft clock Δt₀ = 3.2 seconds

Now, from time dilation;

t = Δt₀ / √( 1 - ( v² / c² ) )

t = Δt₀ / √( 1 - ( v/c )² )

we substitute

t = 3.2 / √( 1 - ( 0.6c / c )² )

t = 3.2 / √( 1 - ( 0.6 )² )

t = 3.2 / √( 1 - 0.36 )

t = 3.2 / √0.64

t = 3.2 / 0.8

t = 4 seconds

Therefore, the time interval that an earth observer measures is 4 seconds
