Answer : The atomic weight of the element is, 121.75 amu

Explanation :

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope 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

As we are given that,

Mass of isotope 1 = 120.9038 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 1 = 57.25 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.5725

Mass of isotope 2 = 122.8831 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 2 = 100 - 57.25 = 42.75 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 2 = 0.4275

Now put all the given values in above formula, we get:

\text{Average atomic mass of element}=\sum[(120.9038\times 0.5725)+(122.8831\times 0.4275)]

\text{Average atomic mass of element}=121.75amu

Therefore, the atomic weight of the element is, 121.75 amu

3. Explain why it is, regardless of the location, at a certain distance between the two points, you will perceive the two points
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Hello your question is missing some parts attached below is the missing part of your question

answer: <em>many primary sensory Neurons will converge and become a single Neuron and the single Neuron will send a single harmonized signal to the Brain</em>.

Explanation:

The reason regardless of the location that will make you perceive the two points as a single point rather than as two distinct points is that many primary sensory Neurons will converge and become a single Neuron and the single Neuron will send a single harmonized signal to the Brain.

Which of the following examples could this free body diagram describe? (Check all that apply)
boyakko [2]

Answer:

A car accelerating to the right

Explanation:

The free-body diagram shows all the forces acting on an object. The length of each arrow is proportional to the magnitude of the force represented by that arrow.

In this free-body diagram, we see that there are 4 forces acting on the object, in 4 different directions. We also see that the two vertical forces are equal so they are balanced, while the force to the rigth is larger than the force to the left: this means that there is a net force to the right, so the object is accelerating to the right.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

A car accelerating to the right

Consider a box weight 2700 newtons resting on the ground. If the area of the box touching the ground is 1.5 square meters, what
Neko [114]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 1800 Pa

Explanation:

Data

Weight = 2700 N

Area = 1.5 m²

Pressure = ?

Formula

Pressure = Force / Area

The Pressure is defined as the force exerted per unit area.

-Substitution

 Pressure = 2700 / 1.5

-Result

 Pressure = 1800 Pa

The units of pressure are Pascals (Pa)

Following Newton's Third Law, when a cannon goes off the cannon ball exerts a force on the cannon and the cannon exerts the same
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

  • <u>First choice:</u><u><em> Because the mass of the cannon ball is much less than the cannon</em></u>

Explanation:

Indeed, <em>Newton's Third Law</em>, i.e. the action-reaction law, states that any action (force) will have a reaction (force) of same magnitude but opposite direction.

That means that when a cannon goes off the cannon ball exerts a force on the cannon and the cannon exerts the same force back on the cannon ball.

To find out how much the cannon ball and the cannon itsel move, you must consider Newton's second law.

  • F = m×a (force equal mass times acceleration).

Clearing the acceleration you get:

  • a = F / m

Then, since the mass is in the denominator and both the force that the cannon ball exerts on the cannon and the cannon exerts on the cannon ball are equal in magnitude, then the body that has the smaller mass (the cannon ball)  will experience a greater acceleration, which is stated by the first choice: because the mass of the cannon ball is much less than the cannon.
