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.

emmasim [6.3K]

f' = frequency observed by the police car after sound reflected from the vehicle and comes back to police car = 1250 Hz

f = frequency emitted by the police car  = 1200 Hz

V = speed of sound = 340 m/s

v = speed of vehicle = ?

frequency observed by the police car is given as

f' = f (V + v)/(V - v)

inserting the values in the above equation

1250 = 1200 (340 + v)/(340 - v)

v = 6.9 m/s

A rock is projected upward from the surface of the moon, at time t = 0.0 s, w a velocity of 30 m/s. The acceleration due to grav
Vinvika [58]
<h2>Answer: 277.777 m</h2>

Explanation:

The situation described here is parabolic movement. However, as we are told that the rock was<u> projected upward from the surface</u>, we will only use the equations related to the Y axis.

In this sense, the movement equations in the Y axis are:

y-y_{o}=V_{o}.t+\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}    (1)

V=V_{o}-g.t    (2)

Where:

y  is the rock's final position

y_{o}=0  is the rock's initial position

V_{o}=30\frac{m}{s} is the rock's initial velocity

V is the final velocity

t is the time the parabolic movement lasts

g=1.62\frac{m}{s^{2}}  is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the moon

As we know y_{o}=0 , equation (2) is rewritten as:

y=V_{o}.t+\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}    (3)

On the other hand, the maximum height  is accomplished when V=0:

V=V_{o}-g.t=0    (4)

V_{o}-g.t=0    

V_{o}=g.t    (5)

Finding t:

t=\frac{V_{o}}{g}    (6)

Substituting (6) in (3):

y=V_{o}(\frac{V_{o}}{g})+\frac{1}{2}g(\frac{V_{o}}{g})^{2}    (7)

y_{max}=\frac{{V_{o}}^{2}}{2g}    (8)  Now we can calculate the maximum height of the rock

y_{max}=\frac{{(30m/s)}^{2}}{(2)(1.62m/s^{2})}   (9)

Finally:

y_{max}=277.777m

if somebody swim to the right for 30 meters then swims to left for 15 meters and then swims back to the right for 50 meters what
zubka84 [21]

50m

Explanation:

Displacement is the length of path traveled which is measured from start to the finishing of the path.

    Analysis of the journey;

 Starts from:

 0                                    30m                                              from right

                  15m                                                                       to left

                                                                       50m              to right

                 

The displacement is 50m from the starting point.

Distance is total path traveled and for this problem it is 30+ 15 + 50 = 95m

diamong [38]

Answer:

T_{2} = 606.69 K

Explanation:

In that the gas thermometer is a constant volume, it is satisfied that:

\frac{P_{1} }{T_{1} } = \frac{P_{2} }{T_{2} }  

How the boiling water is under regular atmospheric pressure, then

T_{1} = 373 .15 K

Thus

\frac{286000}{373.15} = \frac{465000}{T_{2} }

T_{2} = 606.69 K
