Answer:

Atomic mass

Explanation:

The weighted average of the masses of the various isotopes of an element makes the atomic mass. This is why most atomic mass values usually have decimals.

In order to calculate the atomic mass of an element using the weighted average masses, we use the expression below:

Atomic mass = ∑ $m_{i}$ $α_{i}$

Where $m_{i}$ is the mass of isotope i

$α_{i}$ is the abundance of isotope i

The abundance or geonormal abundance is the proportion by which each of the isotope occurs in nature.

Hello there!

I hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy during this unprecendented time.

A) What is the work done?

Answer: We need to use the formula

$w=-F_f(d)$

$w=-(35)(20)$

$w=-700J$

B) What is the work done on the cart by the gravitational force?

Alright, we know that the gravitional force is perpendicular to the diplacement. Therefore, we gonna use the following formula:

$w=Fdcos90$

$w=0$

C) What is the work done on the cart by the shopper?

This is the easier part, since we already know that the work done by the shopper is the same as the work done by the friction force

$W shopper + W friction = 0\\W shopper = W-friction \\W shopper = 700J$

D) Find the force the shopper exerts, using energy considerations.

$F_f+Fcos25=0\\-35+Fcos25=0\\F=38.6N$

E) What is the total work done?

You just need to add them:

$w=wshopper+wfriction\\w=0$

after a large snowstorm you shovel 2000 kilograms of snow off your side walk in 1 hour. you lift the shovel to an average height

solmaris [256]

Lifting a mass to a height, you give it gravitational potential energy of

   (mass) x (gravity) x (height) joules.

To give it that much energy, that's how much work you do on it.

If 2,000 kg gets lifted to 1.25 meters off the ground, its potential energy is

   (2,000) x (9.8) x (1.25) = 24,500 joules.

If you do it in 1 hour (3,600 seconds), then the average power is

   (24,500 joules) / (3,600 seconds) = 6.8 watts.

None of these figures depends on whether the load gets lifted all at once,
or one shovel at a time, or one flake at a time.

But this certainly is NOT all the work you do. When you get a shovelful
of snow 1.25 meters off the ground, you don't drop it and walk away, and
it doesn't just float there. You typically toss it, away from where it was laying
and over onto a pile in a place where you don't care if there's a pile of snow
there. In order to toss it, you give it some kinetic energy, so that it'll continue
to sail over to the pile when it leaves the shovel. All of that kinetic energy
must also come from work that you do ... nobody else is going to take it
from you and toss it onto the pile.
