<span>In order to calculate an average, we should sum all numbers and divide them by quantity. Let’s work with qualifications first. Let’s say you got a 10 in 1 exam, then an 8 in 2 exams and a 4 in 2 exams. Your average will be: = (10*1+8*2+4*2) / 5 = 6.8 If 6 is the minimum, you will pass. There is another way to calculate this average: applying distributive property. = 10*1/5+8*2/5+4*2/5 = 6.8 Remember you can convert the fractions into equivalent fractions: 1/5 = 20/100; 2/5 = 40/100 = 10*20/100+8*20/100+4*20/100 = 6.8 We actually don’t have the number of atoms of each mass… we have the percentage instead! So we need to learn this last method for atoms. Let’s go back to our atoms problem: 73.71 % of atoms have a mass of 27.98 u 14.93 % of atoms have a mass of 28.98 u 11.36 % of atoms have a mass of 29.97 u So let’s put that in the formula: Average mass = 27.98 u*73.71 /100 + 28.98 u*14.93 /100 + 29.97u*11.36 /100 So what you have to know is that a percentage can be converted into a fraction, and you should work that fraction in order to find the average. We can make the calculus shorter putting 100 as the common denominator: Average mass = (27.98 u*73.71 + 28.98 u*14.93 + 29.97u*11.36)/100 So actually we are taking the percentage as if it was the quantity, and 100 as if it was the total (the total of all percentages is always 100). Maybe we don’t have 100 atoms, but it will be the same proportion anyway, whatever number we have! And here it is the result: Average mass = 28,36u </span>

A 1200 kg car reaches the top of a 100 m high hill at A with a speed vA. What is the value of vA that will allow the car to coas
Pavel [41]

Complete question is:

A 1200 kg car reaches the top of a 100 m high hill at A with a speed vA. What is the value of vA that will allow the car to coast in neutral so as to just reach the top of the 150 m high hill at B with vB = 0 m/s. Neglect friction.

Answer:

(V_A) = 31.32 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

car's mass, m = 1200 kg

h_A = 100 m

h_B = 150 m

v_B = 0 m/s

From law of conservation of energy,

the distance from point A to B is;

h = 150m - 100 m = 50 m

From Newton's equations of motion;

v² = u² + 2gh

Thus;

(V_B)² = (V_A)² + (-2gh)

(negative next to g because it's going against gravity)

Thus;

(V_B)² = (V_A)² - (2gh)

Plugging in the relevant values;

0² = (V_A)² - 2(9.81 × 50)

(V_A) = √981

(V_A) = 31.32 m/s
