Answer:

C. 28.09 amu

Explanation:

The natural occurring element exist in 3 isotopic forms: namely X-28 (27.977 amu, 92.23% abundance),  X-29 (28.976 amu, 4.67% abundance) and  X-30 (29.974 amu, 3.10% abundance).

The atomic weight of elements depends on the isotopic abundance. If you know the fractional abundance and the mass of the isotopes the atomic weight can be computed.

The atomic weight is computed as follows:

atomic weight = mass of X-28 × fractional abundance + mass of X-29 × fractional abundance + mass of  X-30 × fractional abundance

atomic weight = 27.977 × 0.9223 + 28.976 × 0.0467 + 29.974 ×  0.0310

atomic weight = 25.8031871 + 1.3531792 + 0.929194

atomic weight = 28.0855603 amu

To 2 decimal place atomic weight = 28.09 amu

If a ball is launched horizontally at 40 m/s
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

40m/s

Explanation:

The horizontal component of velocity remains constant because there are no external forces in that direction

By applying motion equations, V= U+ at

where ,

  • v - final velocity
  • u - initial velocity
  • a-acceleration
  • t - time

v = u +at

As no force act on the ball ( we neglect air resistance here) no acceleration is seen,

So v = u = 40m/s

An astronaut who is repairing the outside of her spaceship accidentally pushes away a 92.9 cm long steel rod, which flies off at
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

V = 0.0723 volts = 72.3 milivolts

Explanation:

The emf induced in the rod is the motional emf due to the magnetic field. This motional emf can be calculated by the following formula:

EMF = V = vBl Sin\theta

where,

V = Motional EMF = ?

v = speed of rod = 12.5 m/s

B = Magnetic Field = 6.23 mT = 0.00623 T

l = Length of rod = 92.9 cm = 0.929 m

θ = angle between v and B = 90°

Therefore,

V = (12.5\ m/s)(0.00623\ T)(0.929\ m)Sin\ 90^o\\

<u>V = 0.0723 volts = 72.3 milivolts</u>

An insulated thermos contains 106.0 cm3 of hot coffee at a temperature of 80.0 °C. You put in 11.0 g of ice cube at its melting
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

the final temperature is T f = 64.977 ° C≈ 65°C

Explanation:

Since the thermus is insulated, the heat absorbed by the ice is the heat released by the coffee. Thus:

Q coffee + Q ice = Q surroundings =0 (insulated)

We also know that the ice at its melting point , that is 0 °C ( assuming that the thermus is at atmospheric pressure= 1 atm , and has an insignificant amount of impurities ).

The heat released by coffee is sensible heat : Q = m * c * (T final - T initial)

The heat absorbed by ice is latent heat and sensible heat : Q = m * L + m * c * (T final - T initial)

therefore

m co * c co * (T fco - T ico) + m ice * L + m ice * c wat  * (T fwa - T iwa) = 0

assuming specific heat capacity of coffee is approximately the one of water c co = c wa = 4.186 J/g°C and the density of coffee is the same as water

d co = dw = 1 gr/cm³

therefore m co = d co * V co = 1 gr / cm³ * 106 cm³ = 106 gr

m co * c wat * (T f  - T ico) + m ice * L + m ice * c wat  * (T f - T iwa) = 0

m co * c wat * T f+ m ice * c wat  * T f  = m ice * c wat  * T iwa  + m co * c wat * Tico -m ice * L

T f  = (m ice * c wat  * T iwa  + m co * c wat * Tico -m ice * L ) /( m co * c wat * + m ice * c wat )

replacing values

T f = (11 g * 4.186 J/g°C * 0°C +  106 g * 4.186 J/g°C*80°C - 11 g * 334 J/gr) / ( 11 g * 4.186 J/g°C +  106 g * 4.186 J/g°C* ) = 64,977 ° C

T f = 64.977 ° C
