Answer: 1.43

Explanation:

Given that:

C (critical angle) = 44.4°

n (refractive index of plastic) = ?

Apply the formula n = 1/sineC, the index of refraction for the plastic can be obtained by:

n = 1/sineC

n = 1/sine 44.4°

n = (1/0.6996)

n = 1.43

Thus, the index of refraction for the plastic is 1.43

A 15g bullet is fired horizontally into a 3kg block of wood suspended by a long cord. Assume that the bullet remains in the bloc

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

261.3 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of bullet=m=15 g= $\frac{15}{1000}=0.015 kg$

1 kg=1000g

Mass of block=M=3 kg

d=0.086 m

Total mass =M+m=3+0.015=3.015 kg

K.E at the time strike=Gravitational potential energy at the end of swing

$\frac{1}{2}(m+M)^2V^2=(m+M)gh$

Using g= $9.8m/s^2$

Substitute the values

$\frac{1}{2}(3.015)V^2=3.015\times 9.8\times 0.086$

$V^2=\frac{2\times 3.015\times 9.8\times 0.086}{3.015}$

$V=\sqrt{2\times 3.015\times 9.8\times 0.086}}$

$V=1.3m/s$

Velocity after collision=V=1.3 m/s

Velocity of block=v'=0

Using conservation law of momentum

$mv+Mv'=(m+M)V$

Using the formula

$0.015v+3(0)=3.015(1.3)$

$0.015v=3.015(1.3)$

$v^2=\frac{3.015(1.3)}{0.015}=261.3$

$v=261.3 m/s$

An element has the following natural abundances and isotopic masses: 90.92% abundance with 19.99 amu, 0.26% abundance with 20.99

sashaice [31]

<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.
