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

I. What is the initial velocity of the car?
qaws [65]

Answer:

I. 0 m/s

II. 20 m/s

III. Part BC

Explanation:

I. Determination of the initial velocity.

From the diagram given above,

The motion of the car starts from the origin. This implies that the car start from rest and as such, the initial velocity of the car is 0 m/s

II. Determination of the maximum velocity attained.

From the diagram given above, we can see clearly that the maximum velocity is 20 m/s.

III. Determination of the part of the graph that represents zero acceleration.

It important that we know the meaning of zero acceleration.

Zero acceleration simply means the car is not accelerating. This can only be true when the car is moving with a constant velocity.

From the graph given above, the car has a constant velocity between B and C.

Therefore, part BC illustrates zero acceleration.

If you are given the mass of an object in pounds, the time in seconds, and the distance in feet, what must you do before you can
Alexandra [31]

Answer: First you must convert pound in kilogram, and feet in meter

Explanation:

To calculate momentum we use .

p=m*V

mass-m

speed-V

distance and time are used to calculate velocity(speed)

You are given :

 mass- in pounds

for distance - in feet

before you do any calculation first you have to convert pounds in kilograms

and feet in meters.
