. Consider the equation =0+0+02/2+03/6+04/24+5/120, where s is a length and t is a time. What are the dimensions and SI units of

Olegator [25]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Given

$s=s_0+v_0t+\frac{a_0t^2}{2}+ \frac{j_0t^3}{6}+\frac{S_0t^4}{24}+\frac{ct^5}{120}$

Solving (a): Units and dimension of $s_0$

From the question, we understand that:

$s \to L$ --- length

$t \to T$ --- time

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=s_0$

Rewrite as:

$s_0=s$

This implies that $s_0$ has the same unit and dimension as $s$

Hence:

$s_0 \to L$ --- dimension

$s_o \to$ Length (meters, kilometers, etc.)

Solving (b): Units and dimension of $v_0$

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=v_0t$

Rewrite as:

$v_0t = s$

Make $v_0$ the subject

$v_0 = \frac{s}{t}$

Replace s and t with their units

$v_0 = \frac{L}{T}$

$v_0 = LT^{-1}$

Hence:

$v_0 \to LT^{-1}$ --- dimension

$v_0 \to$ $m/s$ --- unit

Solving (c): Units and dimension of $a_0$

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=\frac{a_0t^2}{2}$

Rewrite as:

$\frac{a_0t^2}{2} = s_0$

Make $a_0$ the subject

$a_0 = \frac{2s_0}{t^2}$

Replace s and t with their units [ignore all constants]

$a_0 = \frac{L}{T^2}\\$

$a_0 = LT^{-2$

Hence:

$a_0 = LT^{-2$ --- dimension

$a_0 \to$ $m/s^2$ --- acceleration

Solving (d): Units and dimension of $j_0$

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=\frac{j_0t^3}{6}$

Rewrite as:

$\frac{j_0t^3}{6} = s$

Make $j_0$ the subject

$j_0 = \frac{6s}{t^3}$

Replace s and t with their units [Ignore all constants]

$j_0 = \frac{L}{T^3}$

$j_0 = LT^{-3}$

Hence:

$j_0 = LT^{-3}$ --- dimension

$j_0 \to$ $m/s^3$ --- unit

Solving (e): Units and dimension of $s_0$

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=\frac{S_0t^4}{24}$

Rewrite as:

$\frac{S_0t^4}{24} = s$

Make $S_0$ the subject

$S_0 = \frac{24s}{t^4}$

Replace s and t with their units [ignore all constants]

$S_0 = \frac{L}{T^4}$

$S_0 = LT^{-4$

Hence:

$S_0 = LT^{-4$ --- dimension

$S_0 \to$ $m/s^4$ --- unit

Solving (e): Units and dimension of $c$

Ignore other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=\frac{ct^5}{120}$

Rewrite as:

$\frac{ct^5}{120} = s$

Make $c$ the subject

$c = \frac{120s}{t^5}$

Replace s and t with their units [Ignore all constants]

$c = \frac{L}{T^5}$

$c = LT^{-5}$

Hence:

$c \to LT^{-5}$ --- dimension

$c \to m/s^5$ --- units

An element has the following natural abundances and isotopic masses: 90.92% abundance with 19.99 amu, 0.26% abundance with 20.99

sashaice [31]

<u>Answer:</u> The average atomic mass of the given element is 20.169 amu.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of the isotopes 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:

For isotope 1:

Mass of isotope 1 = 19.99 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 1 = 90.92 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.9092

For isotope 2:

Mass of isotope 2 = 20.99 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 2 = 0.26%

Fractional abundance of isotope 2 = 0.0026

For isotope 3:

Mass of isotope 3 = 21.99 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 3 = 8.82%

Fractional abundance of isotope 3 = 0.0882

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Average atomic mass}=[(19.99\times 0.9092)+(20.99\times 0.0026)+(21.99\times 0.0882)]$

$\text{Average atomic mass}=20.169amu$

Hence, the average atomic mass of the given element is 20.169 amu.
