Answer:
average for silk =141"
average for cotton =96"
average for nylon = 70"
if you desire a slower falling parachute to protect the body from damage,
silk is the best
if you desire a faster falling parachute to escape enemy bullets,
nylon is the best

Problem Solving
1. Kelvin and Xavier were doing an investigation on parachutes. One of them suggested that the type of material the parachute was made from had an effect on how long it took to reach the ground. Their results are given in
the table below.
(a) Calculate the average time in seconds for each material.

74.62 g of magnesium oxide is formed from 45.00 g magnesium so 74.62-45.00= 29.62 g of oxygen is consumed or in other words a new compound is formed in the burning of magnesium in oxygen with a heavier mass than the pure magnesium.
Answer : The correct option is, Mass
Explanation :
As we know that there are 3 states of matter :
Solid state : It is a state in which the particles are closely packed and does not have any space between them. This state have a definite shape and volume.
Liquid state : It is a state in which the particles are present in random and irregular pattern. The particles are closely arranged but they can move from one place to another. This state have a definite volume but does not have a fixed shape.
Gaseous state : It is a state in which the particles are loosely arranged and have a lot of space between them. This state have indefinite volume as well as shape.
If we are taking 100 grams of ice then after melting its mass remains same but its shape, volume and temperature will be changed and after evaporation its mass remains same but its shape, volume and temperature will be changed.
Hence, the mass will stay constant, no matter if the substance is in the solid, liquid, or gas state.
Answer:
Mass of oxygen in glucose = 29.3g
Explanation:
Mass of glucose given is 55grams.
We are to find the mass of oxygen in this compound.
In the compound we have 6 atoms of oxygen.
Solution
To find the mass of oxygen in glucose, we calculate the formula mass of glucose. We now divide the formula mass of the oxygen atom with that of the glucose and multiply by the given mass to find the unkown mass.
Atomic mass of C = 12g
H = 1g
O = 16g
Formula mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ = {(12x6) + (1x12) + (16x6)} = 180
Mass of O in glucose = 
x 55
= 
x 55
= 0.53 x 55
Mass of oxygen in glucose = 29.3g
<u>Answer:</u> The average atomic mass of copper is 63.55 amu.
<u>Explanation:</u>
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:
.....(1)
- <u>For
isotope:</u>
Mass of isotope = 62.94 amu
Percentage abundance of = 69.17 %
Fractional abundance of isotope = 0.6917
- <u>For
isotope:</u>
Mass of isotope = 64.93 amu
Percentage abundance of = 30.83 %
Fractional abundance of isotope = 0.3083
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
![\text{Average atomic mass of Copper}=[(62.94\times 0.6917)+(64.93\times 0.3083)]\\\\\text{Average atomic mass of copper}=63.55amu](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BAverage%20atomic%20mass%20of%20Copper%7D%3D%5B%2862.94%5Ctimes%200.6917%29%2B%2864.93%5Ctimes%200.3083%29%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Ctext%7BAverage%20atomic%20mass%20of%20copper%7D%3D63.55amu)
Hence, the average atomic mass of copper is 63.55 amu.
