For the answer to the questions above, I'll give the formulas so that you can answer the equation easily.

These are the equations you need to solve this: 

<span>Lift Load = Buoyancy Force = (Weight of air inside balloon if it were filled with outside dry air) - (Weight of actual gas inside balloon) </span>

<span>Weight of gas inside balloon = (density of gas) (acceleration of gravity at earth's surface) (balloon volume) </span>

<span>Density of gas = (absolute pressure)(Molecular Weight of Gas) / [(Specific Gas Constant)(absolute temperature)] </span>

<span>Balloon Volume = (4/3) π (balloon radius)^3 
</span>
All you have to do is substitute them with the values.

Calculate the average atomic mass of element, X. A sample of X is 65.20% X-17, 13.50% X-18, and 21.30% X-19.
k0ka [10]

Answer:

The average atomic mass of element X is 17.561 u.

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 .....(1)

We are given:

Mass of isotope X-17 = 17 u

Percentage abundance of isotope X-17 = 65.20 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.6520

Mass of isotope X-18 = 18 u

Percentage abundance of isotope X-18 = 13.50 %

Fractional abundance of isotope X-18 = 0.1350

Mass of isotope X-19 = 19 u

Percentage abundance of isotope X-19 =21.30%

Fractional abundance of isotope X-19 = 0.2130

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Average atomic mass of Z}=\sum[(17 u\times0.6520 )+(18 u\times 0.1350)+(19 u\times 0.2130)]

\text{Average atomic mass of Z}=17.561 u

An amateur golfer swings a golf club, striking a golf ball that has a mass of 55.0 g. The club is in contact with the ball for o
Rudiy27

Answer:

The average force ≅ 519.44 N.

Explanation:

Impulse = change in momentum of a body

i.e Ft = m(v - u)

where F is the force, t is the time, m is the mass of the body, v is the final velocity and u is the initial velocity.

m = 55.0 g (0.055 Kg), t = 0.00360 s, v = 34.0 m/s, since the ball was initially at rest; u = 0 m/s

So that,

F x 0.00360 = 0.055(34 - 0)

F x 0.00360 = 0.055 x 34

                    = 1.87

F = \frac{1.87}{0.0036}

 = 519.4444

The average force exerted on the ball by the club is approximately 519.44 N.

12 ounces of beer plus 12 ounces of wine plus 3 ounces of liquor = how
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

12 ounces of beer plus 12 ounces of wine plus 3 ounces of liquor are equivalent to 6 drinks.

Explanation:

In the United States, a standard "drink" of beer has 12 ounces, a standard "drink" of wine has 5 ounces and standard drink of liquor has 1.5 ounces. Then, we obtain the quantity of drinks by dividing the total volume of each drink by its respective unit volume and summing each term. That is:

N = \frac{12\,oz}{12\,\frac{oz}{dr} }+\frac{12\,oz}{5\,\frac{oz}{dr} }+\frac{3\,oz}{1.5\,\frac{oz}{dr} }

N = 1\,dr+2.4\,dr+2\,dr

N = 5.4\,dr

N = 6\,dr

12 ounces of beer plus 12 ounces of wine plus 3 ounces of liquor are equivalent to 6 drinks.
