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

A bungee jumper with mass 65.0 kg jumps from a high bridge. After reaching his lowest point, he oscillates up and down, hitting
ololo11 [35]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of a bungee jumper is 65 kg

The time period of the oscillation is 38 s, hitting a low point eight more times.It means its time period is

T=\dfrac{38}{8}\\\\T=4.75\ s

After many oscillations, he finally comes to rest 25.0 m below the level of the bridge.

For an oscillating object, the time period is given by :

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}

k = spring stiffness constant

So,

k=\dfrac{4\pi ^2m}{T^2}\\\\k=\dfrac{4\pi ^2\times 65}{(4.75)^2}\\\\k=113.43\ N/m

When the cord is in air,

mg=kx

x = the extension in the cord

x=\dfrac{mg}{k}\\\\x=\dfrac{65\times 9.8}{113.6}\\\\x=5.6\ m

So, the unstretched length of the bungee cord is equal to 25 m - 5.6 m = 19.4 m

How does upwelling affect the weather of a coastal region?
SIZIF [17.4K]

c.The warm surface water results in moist air and more rainfall.

Explanation:

  • During upwelling, cold water in the ocean is stirred up and brought to the surface.
  • The warmer surface water is then taken into deeper parts of the ocean.
  • Upwelling allows for nutrient mixing in the ocean and allows for useful gases to circulate well.
  • The warm surface water causes the air to be moisty.
  • When the air is carried landward towards the coast, it leads to rainfall when the saturated air releases the water.
  • The air then becomes cold and dry and it rises up.
  • Therefore, warm surface water results in moist air and more rainfall.
