An element has the following natural abundances and isotopic masses: 90.92% abundance with 19.99 amu, 0.26% abundance with 20.99
sashaice [31]

<u>Answer:</u> The average atomic mass of the given element is 20.169 amu.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of the isotopes 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:

  • For isotope 1:

Mass of isotope 1 = 19.99 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 1 = 90.92 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.9092

  • For isotope 2:

Mass of isotope 2 = 20.99 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 2 = 0.26%

Fractional abundance of isotope 2 = 0.0026

  • For isotope 3:

Mass of isotope 3 = 21.99 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 3 = 8.82%

Fractional abundance of isotope 3 = 0.0882  

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Average atomic mass}=[(19.99\times 0.9092)+(20.99\times 0.0026)+(21.99\times 0.0882)]

\text{Average atomic mass}=20.169amu

Hence, the average atomic mass of the given element is 20.169 amu.

If a ball is thrown straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 65 ft/s, its height in feet after t seconds is given by
fgiga [73]

Answer:

a) v_{1}=\frac{(62.5-66)ft}{(2.5-2)s}=-7ft/s

v_{2}=\frac{(65.94-66)ft}{(2.1-2)s}=-0.6ft/s

v_{3}=\frac{(66.0084-66)ft}{(2.01-2)s}=0.84ft/s

v_{4}=\frac{(66.001-66)ft}{(2.001-2)s}=1ft/s

b) v=65-32(2)=1ft/s

Explanation:

From the exercise we got the ball's equation of position:

y=65t-16t^{2}

a) To find the average velocity at the given time we need to use the following formula:

v=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{t_{2}-t_{1}  }

Being said that, we need to find the ball's position at t=2, t=2.5, t=2.1, t=2.01, t=2.001

y_{t=2}=65(2)-16(2)^{2} =66ft

y_{t=2.5}=65(2.5)-16(2.5)^{2} =62.5ft

v_{1}=\frac{(62.5-66)ft}{(2.5-2)s}=-7ft/s

--

y_{t=2.1}=65(2.1)-16(2.1)^{2} =65.94ft

v_{2}=\frac{(65.94-66)ft}{(2.1-2)s}=-0.6ft/s

--

y_{t=2.01}=65(2.01)-16(2.01)^{2} =66.0084ft

v_{3}=\frac{(66.0084-66)ft}{(2.01-2)s}=0.84ft/s

--

y_{t=2.001}=65(2.001)-16(2.001)^{2} =66.001ft

v_{4}=\frac{(66.001-66)ft}{(2.001-2)s}=1ft/s

b) To find the instantaneous velocity we need to derivate the equation

v=\frac{df}{dt}=65-32t

v=65-32(2)=1ft/s
