Answer:

The average atomic mass of element X is 17.561 u.

Explanation:

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i .....(1)

We are given:

Mass of isotope X-17 = 17 u

Percentage abundance of isotope X-17 = 65.20 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.6520

Mass of isotope X-18 = 18 u

Percentage abundance of isotope X-18 = 13.50 %

Fractional abundance of isotope X-18 = 0.1350

Mass of isotope X-19 = 19 u

Percentage abundance of isotope X-19 =21.30%

Fractional abundance of isotope X-19 = 0.2130

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Average atomic mass of Z}=\sum[(17 u\times0.6520 )+(18 u\times 0.1350)+(19 u\times 0.2130)]

\text{Average atomic mass of Z}=17.561 u

When a board with a box on it is slowly tilted to larger and larger angle, common experience shows that the box will at some poi
eimsori [14]

Answer: The force of kinetic friction is smaller than that of static friction, but F_g  remains the same.

Explanation:

The situation is same as when a book is pushed with an increasing force on a table; When the force is low, book doesn't move, until that under a given force starts moving, and then it goes on movement even if the force decreases a bit.

The physical explanation for this, that friction force adopts any value needed to avoid to move the object, till a limit value is achieved, called static friction force, equal to the normal force times the static friction coefficient.

Once in movement, the kinetic friction coefficient replaces the static one , and  in general is lower than the static one, so the force diminishes.

In the case of the box sliding down the board, the force that tries to move the object down the board, is the component of the weight parallel to the board, that can be showed that being equal to the weight times the sinus of the angle of the board with the horizontal, as follows:

F_g = m g sin θ

When θ increases, F_g does the same, so friction force always has the same magnitude than F_g (but opposite direction) so the box doesn't move, till that θ takes a value that produces a F_g equal to static friction force.

Beyond this limit angle, F_g (remaining the same for a given angle) is greater than the kinetic friction force, and the box slides.

In the limit, when θ=90º, sin θ =1⇒ F_g = mg, so the object is in free fall.

Increase the slit width to 1050 nm. What happens to the width of the central bright fringe? (Always remember to wait a few secon
djyliett [7]

Answer:

b.

Explanation:

In case of Single Slit, diffraction will occur.

Then In Single slit Diffraction, width of central fringe is

x_c= 2D\lambda/a


where D= distance b/w screen and slit

a= slit width

\lambda = wavelength

Thus if Screen width increases keeping other factors same then width of central fringe becomes narrower as

x_c\propto 1/a

On increasing the slit width the central bright fringe width The width of the central bright fringe becomes narrower.

Mains electricity is an ac supply. Explain the difference between direct and alternating potential difference.
Gennadij [26K]

Direct current (DC) is the flow of electric charge in only one direction. It is the steady state of a constant-voltage circuit. Most well-known applications, however, use a time-varying voltage source. Alternating current (AC) is the flow of electric charge that periodically reverses direction.

When a gun is fired at the shooting range, the gun recoils (moves backward). Explain this using the law of conservation of momen
12345 [234]
The total momentum is unchanged according to the law of conservation of momentum. When the gun is fired, the bullet gains a high velocity forward (positive velocity), and that velocity multiplied by its mass is the momentum the bullet gains. Therefore, the gun must gain a momentum backwards to cancel out that momentum forward, so the gun recoils back with a negative velocity.
