B-10 = 19.9%
B-11 = 80.1%

Abundance of B10 = x
Abundance of B11= y
You know x+y = 1 because there are only the 2 isotopes.
Y= 1-x

10.01294x + 11.00931 (1-x) = 10.811
10.01294x + 11.00931 - 11.00931x = 10.811 - 0.99016x = -0.198
X = 0.200

Check:
10.01294(0.2) + 11.00931 (0.8) = 10.81

20% B10. 80% B11

Answer: Boron -10 : 20%

Boron -11 : 80%

Explanation:

Mass of isotope  boron -10= 10

% abundance of isotope 1 = x% = \frac{x}{100}

Mass of isotope boron-11 = 11

% abundance of isotope 2 = (100-x)% = \frac{100-x}{100}

Formula used for average atomic mass of an element :

\text{ Average atomic mass of an element}=\sum(\text{atomic mass of an isotopes}\times {{\text { fractional abundance}})

10.8=\sum[(10)\times \frac{x}{100})+(11)\times \frac{100-x}{100}]]

x=20

Therefore, percent of boron -10 is 20% and isotope boron-11 is (100-20)= 80%.

1) A light bulb takes in 30 of energy per second. It transfers 3j as use
natta225 [31]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{10 \%}}

Explanation:

The formula for efficiency is  

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Efficiency} & = & \dfrac{\text{useful energy out}}{\text{energy in}} \times 100 \,\% \\\\\eta & = & \dfrac{w_{\text{out}}}{w_{\text{in}} } \times 100 \,\%\\\end{array}

Data:

Useful energy =  3 J

Energy input  = 30 J

Calculation:

\begin{array}{rcl}\eta & = & \dfrac{\text{3 J}}{\text{30 J}} \times 100 \,\%\\\\\eta & = & 10 \, \%\\\end{array}\\\text{ The efficiency is }\boxed{\textbf{10 \%}}

Which change in the sun’s gravity would occur if the sun’s mass were reduced by one-half?(1 point)
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Gravity or the gravitational force is defined as the force of attraction occurring between all states of matter. The sun’s gravity, mass, and radius plays a crucial role in the properties of the Sun.

Explanation:

The gravity of an object can be determined using the formula:

\text{g}&=\frac{\text{GM}}{\text{R}^{2} }}

Now, according to the question, the mass of the sun is halved, which will be written as:

\text{g}&=\frac{\text{G}\frac{\text{M}}{2}}{\text{R}^{2} }}

Thus, according to the equation, the mass of an object is directly proportional to the gravitational field. since, the mass of the Sun is reduced to half, the gravity of the Sun will be halved.
