let the moles of chlorine-35 is n1 and chlorine-37 is n2

now we will use the formula of average atomic mass

M = \frac{n_1M_1 + n_2M_2}{n_1 + n_2}

here let say

\frac{n_1}{n_2} = x

35.45 = \frac{x(35) + 37}{x + 1}

35.45 x + 35.45 = 35x + 37

35.45 x - 35 x = 37 - 35.45

0.45 x = 1.55

x = 3.44

so here since ratio of moles of chlorine 35 and chlorine 37 is more than 1 so chlorine 35 is more in the proportion in this mixture so <em>there is most chlorine atom consist of 18 neutrons</em>

Answer:

chlorine-35

Explanation:

We are given that Chlorine has an average atomic mass=35.45 amu

The two naturally occurring isotopes of chlorine are chlorine -35 and chlorine -37.

We have to find which isotope  most contain 18 neutrons or 20 neutrons and why.

Let

\frac{x}{y}=a

Where x= Part of chlorine-35

y=Part of chlorine-37

Then, x=a and y=1

Average atomic mass=\frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{x-1+x_2}

Using this formula

35.45=\frac{35a+37}{a+1}

35.45a+35.45=35a+37

35.45a-35 a=37-35.45=1.55

0.45 a=1.55

a=\frac{1.55}{0.45}=3.44

The ratio of two isotopes is 3.44 which is greater than 1.

Therefore,chlorine-35 is greater than chlorine-37 in a mixture of two isotopes.

We know that atomic number of chlorine-35 is 17.

Neutron number=35-17=18

Hence, the chlorine-35 is most which contain 18 neutrons.

A constant torque is applied to a rigid wheel whose moment of inertia is 2.0 kg · m2 around the axis of rotation. If the wheel s
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

The applied torque is 3.84 N-m.      

Explanation:

Given that,

Moment of inertia of the wheel is 2\ kg-m^2

Initial speed of the wheel is 0 (at rest)

Final angular speed is 25 rad/s

Time, t = 13 s

The relation between moment of inertia and torque is given by :

\tau=I\alpha \\\\\tau=I\times \dfrac{\omega_f}{t}\\\\\tau=2\times \dfrac{25}{13}\\\\\tau=+3.84\ N-m

So, the applied torque is 3.84 N-m.

The horizon moon appears to shrink in size if it is viewed through a narrow tube that eliminates the perception of distance cues
Sonja [21]

Answer: (c) Context Effect

Explanation: Context Effect is an aspect of cognitive psychology which describes how environmental factors afects a person's perception of stimuli. It is known to occur at all scales at which words may be viewed. It is supported by constructive perception, the effect of a context perception is known to be part of a top-down design, the view of the moon through a narrow tube which has affected the perception of the viewer who now see the moon as shrinking in size is a context perception.

Vector A, with magnitude 28.0 units, points in the positive y-direction. Vector A + B has a magnitude of 19.0 units and points i
Leokris [45]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

|B|  = 47.0 units

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The sum of two vectors (A) and (B) gives another vector (A + B). i.e

(A + B) = (A) + (B)       ----------------(i)

<em>From the question;</em>

Vector A = 28.0 units in the positive y-direction. This means that the value of the x-component is zero and the value of the y-component is +28

In unit vector notation vector A is given as;

A = 0i + 28.0j

Vector A + B = 19.0 units in the negative y-direction. This means that the value of the x-component is zero and the value of the y-component is -19.0

In unit vector notation, vector A + B is given as;

A + B = 0i - 19.0j

To get the magnitude of vector B, make B the subject of the formula in equation (i) as follows;

(B) = (A + B) - (A)            ------------------ (ii)

Substitute the values of the vectors (A) and (A + B) into equation (ii) as follows;

(B) = (0i - 19.0j) - (0i + 28.0j)

(B) = - 19.0j - 28.0j

(B) = - 47.0j

The magnitude of B, |B|, is therefore;

|B| = |-47.0|

|B| = 47.0 units
