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

Two trucks have the same mass. Which truck will have a greater amount of kinetic energy? b. The truck with less mass d. The truc
tatiyna

Answer:

c. The truck with greater speed

Explanation:

Energy can be defined as the ability (capacity) to do work. The two (2) main types of energy are;

a. Gravitational potential energy (GPE): it is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.

b. Kinetic energy (KE): it is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}

Where;

K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents speed or velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

From the above formula, we can deduce that the kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to the square of the value of its velocity or speed.

Hence, the truck with greater speed would have a greater amount of kinetic energy.

HOW TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION PLEASE ​
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

  • radioactive decay is a random process
  • use long tongs

Explanation:

Quantum theory has taught us that virtually everything to do with the nature of matter in the universe is a random process. The decay of atomic nuclei is something that makes that randomness "visible" with appropriate instrumentation. As such, the rate of decay will vary over the "short" term. Consequently, it is not surprising to see a variation of a few counts in an activity measurement over a period of a few minutes.

__

Safety with respect to radioactive materials involves staying as far away from them as possible. The use of long tongs for handling would be appropriate.

A 100-year flood is the flooding elevation that has a one percent chance of happening each year. Why is the name misleading
fenix001 [56]
One percent annual chance of flooding does not mean it will happen with absolute certainty once every 100 years. Just that the expected value of a flood in 100 years is one.

As an example, heads has a 50% chance of happening every coin flip. With 2 coin flips, the expected value is one. However, it would be a misnomer to call "heads" a 2-flip outcome.
