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

A frog is at the bottom of a 17-foot well. Each time the frog leaps, it moves up 3 feet. If the frog has not reached the top of
docker41 [41]

Answer:

The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well

Explanation:

Given data

Frog at bottom=17 foot

Each time frog leaps 3 feet

Frog has not reached the top of the well, then the frog slides back 1 foot

To Find

Total number of leaps the frog needed to escape from well

Solution

in 1 jump distance jumped=3+(-1)

                                           =2 feet

                                           =2×1 feet

The "-1" is because the frog goes back

Now After 2 jumps the distance jumped as:

                     Distance Jumped=2+2

                     Distance Jumped=2*2

                                                   =4 feet

Similarly after 7 jumps

                    Distance Jumped=2+2+......+2

                    Distance Jumped=2*7

                                                 =14 feet

Now after 8th jump the frog climbs but doesnot slide back as it is reached to the top of well.

So

              Distance Jumped=(Distance Jumped after 7 jumps)+3

                                           =14+3

                                           =17 feet

The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well

A man starts from rest and accelerates at 4.00 m/s2. If he covers a distance of 525 m, how long does he accelerate?
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

16.2 s

Explanation:

Given:

Δx = 525 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 4.00 m/s²

Find: t

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

525 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (4.00 m/s²) t²

t = 16.2 s

What is the relation between the gravitational force acting between any two bodies object with their masses and the distance bet
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. ... increases, the force of gravity decreases. If the distance is doubled, the force of gravity is one-fourth as strong as before.
