The two different isotopes have weights :
w1 = 78.918 amu
w2 = 80.916 amu
average weight w3 = 79.903 amu
The mixing of two components can be modeled as
let the fraction of w1 be 'x'
hence
now this is a linear equation in 'x'. Substituting the values we get
x = 0.507
hence the percentage of Br79 = 50.7% and the percentage of BR81 = 49.3%
Answer : <em>Her weight is lower on Venus because the acceleration due to gravity is lower.</em>
Explanation :
Venus is also called as Earth's twin. This is because both the mass and the size of Earth and Venus are almost same. The acceleration due to gravity on earth is while on Venus is
.
So, when Shari measure her weight on Venus she found her weight is lower on Venus. This is because the acceleration due to gravity is lower on the surface of Venus as compared to the Earth.
Since,
i.e. weight depends on g.
<em>So, correct prediction is (b)</em>
