The acceleration is defined by force divided by the mass of the object. So, When the smaller object is hit by a small force, it can produce equal acceleration which is same as that of the bigger body hit with large force.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Force is defined as the product of the mass of the body its applied to and the acceleration of the body in the direction of the force. So acceleration is force divided by the mass of the body.

Let the mass of the smaller body be m and that of the larger body be M.

The smaller force applied on the smaller body be f and the larger force applied on the larger body be F.

So acceleration of the larger body = F/M.

Acceleration of the smaller body = f/m.

For the accelerations to be same,

F/M = f/m.

Or F/f = M/m.

So when the ratio of the force applied on two bodies is in ratio of their masses, the acceleration becomes equal.

Boron has two naturally-ocurring isotopes. Boron-10 has an abundance of 19.8% and actual mass of 10.013 amu, and boron-11 has an
aniked [119]

Answer:

Average atomic mass = 10.812 amu

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of the average atomic mass is:

Average\ atomic\ mass=(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ first\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ first\ isotope})+(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ second\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ second\ isotope})

Given that:

<u>For first isotope, Boron-10: </u>

% = 19.8 %

Mass = 10.013 amu

<u>For second isotope, Boron-11: </u>

% = 80.2 %

Mass = 11.009 amu

Thus,  

Average\ atomic\ mass=\frac{19.8}{100}\times {10.013}+\frac{80.2}{100}\times {11.009}=1.982574+8.829218=10.811792

<u>Average atomic mass = 10.812 amu</u>

Jacob carelessly added only 40.0 mL (instead of the recommended 50.0 mL) of 1.1 M HCl to the 50.0 mL of 1.0 M NaOH. Explain the
Sati [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

mole of NaOH present = molarity x volume

                                     = 1.0 X 0.05 = 0.05 mole

<em>Recommended mole of HCl </em>= 1.1 x 0.05 = 0.055

<em>Mole of HCl carelessly added by Jacob </em>= 1.1 x 0.04 = 0.044

From the equation of reaction:

HCl + NaOH ----> NaCl + H2O

The ratio of mole of HCl to that of NaOH for a complete neutralization reaction is 1:1. However, the recommended mole of HCl (0.055 mole) is more than the mole of NaOH (0.05 mole). <u>Hence, the recommended endpoint of the reaction is supposed to be acidic.</u>

The mole of HCl added by Jacob (0.044) is short of the recommended amount (0.055) and also short of the amount required for a neutral endpoint (0.05). <u>This means that the endpoint will have an excess amount of NaOH and as such, basic instead of the desired acidic endpoint.</u>

How’s it possible for liquid to boil at 25 C?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Well, not always. It depends on where you're doing the boiling. In fact, water will boil at about 202 degrees in Denver, due to the lower air pressure at such high elevations
