Answer:

They aren't listed as a whole number, because an atom's mass is not always a whole number. The mass differs between types of atoms as well.

Answer:

This is because atoms ionize, isotopes exist, and the fact that their are impurities.

Explanation:

Each atomic mass could not be calculated accurately if it was a whole number.

- Hope this helped! Please let me know if you need further explanation.

Darya [45]
Remember the formula as per the second Law of Newton: F = m*a

And also remember that the weight is the force with which the mass is attracted by the planet (or satellite in the case of the moon).

With that information you can answer the questions:

a) Weight = F = m*a

m = 175 slugs = 175 lbm

i) Earth

a = 32.17 ft/s^2

Weight on Earth = 175 lbm * 32.17 ft / s^2 = 5,629.75 poundal

ii) Moon

a = [1/6] 32.17 ft/s^2

Weight on the Moon = [1/6]*5,629.75 poundal = 938.29 poundal

b) Force = 355 poundal
m = 25.0 slug

a in m/s^2 = ?

First calculate the force in ft/s^2

F = m*a => a = F/m = 355 poundal / 25.0 slug = 14.2 ft/s^2

Conversion:

14.2 ft / s^2 * [ 0.3048 m/ft] = 4.32816 m/s^2

Answer: 4.33 m/s^2

Neptunium-237 was the first isotope of a transuranium element to be discovered. the decay constant is /s. what is the half-life
kari74 [83]

The half-life in years of Neptunium-237 which was the first isotope is 2.1 10^{6} years.

Neptunium is most stable and Neptunium-237 is undergoes alpha decay, it means Neptunium-237 is decays by the emission of alpha particles . Seven alpha particles is emitted during decay of  Neptunium-237.  Neptunium-237 is radioactive actinide  elements and first  transuranium element.

The transuranium synthesis process involves creating a transuranium element through the transmutation process . The transmutation process  is the process of creating heavy elements from light elements. Hence the process is the transmutation of light elements. There are two types: artificial and natural transmutation.
