<u>Answer:</u> The average atomic mass of the given element is 20.169 amu.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of the isotopes each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i     .....(1)

We are given:

  • For isotope 1:

Mass of isotope 1 = 19.99 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 1 = 90.92 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.9092

  • For isotope 2:

Mass of isotope 2 = 20.99 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 2 = 0.26%

Fractional abundance of isotope 2 = 0.0026

  • For isotope 3:

Mass of isotope 3 = 21.99 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 3 = 8.82%

Fractional abundance of isotope 3 = 0.0882  

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Average atomic mass}=[(19.99\times 0.9092)+(20.99\times 0.0026)+(21.99\times 0.0882)]

\text{Average atomic mass}=20.169amu

Hence, the average atomic mass of the given element is 20.169 amu.

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

I think its object 1

Explanation:

Because the object that has more weight has a greater momentum and the lightest object that has a less momentum will be easier to change because its lighter.

A wave is moving at 18 m/s. If its wavelength is 3 meters, what is its frequency?
Vlada [557]

here's the solution,

we know that,

=》

wave \: speed = wavelength \times frequency

so,

=》

18 = 3 \times f

=》

f =  \dfrac{18}{3}

=》

f = 6

frequency = 6 hertz

A hockey puck has a mass of 0.107 kg and is at rest. A hockey player makes a shot, exerting a constant force of 28.0 N on the pu
gregori [183]

Answer:

The speed does it head toward the goal = 41.87 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Mass = 0.107 kg

Initial velocity ( u ) = 0

Force (F) = 28 N

Time = 0.16 sec

From newton's second law,  Force  = mass × acceleration

⇒  F = m × a

⇒  28 = 0.107 × a

⇒  a = 261.7 \frac{m}{s^{2} } --------- (1)

This is the value of acceleration.

Final speed of the mass is calculated by the equation V = U + at

⇒ U = 0 because mass in in rest position at start.

⇒ V = a t

Put the values of acceleration and time in above formula we get

⇒ V = 261.7 × 0.16

⇒ V = 41.87 \frac{m}{s}

Therefore the speed does it head toward the goal = 41.87 \frac{m}{s}
