Naturally occurring element x exists in three isotopic forms: x-28 (27.977 amu, 92.23% abundance), x-29 (28.976 amu, 4.67% abund

ance), and x-30 (29.974 amu, 3.10% abundance). calculate the atomic weight of x.

To solve for the weighted average atomic weight of X, all we have to do is to calculate for the contribution of each isotope. The contribution of each isotope on the atomic weight of x is calculated by multiplying their respective atomic weights with the abundance, therefore:

X – 28 = 27.977 amu * (92.23 / 100)

X – 28 = 25.803 amu

 

X – 29 = 28.976 amu * (4.67 / 100)

X – 29 = 1.353 amu

 

X – 30 = 29.974 amu * (3.10 / 100)

X – 30 = 0.929 amu

 

Hence:

X = X – 28 + X – 29 + X – 30

X = 25.803 amu + 1.353 amu + 0.929 amu

<span>X = 28.085 amu</span>

Luigi twirls a round piece of pizza dough overhead with a frequency of
viva [34]

The linear speed of the pepperoni is 0.628 m/s. Its direction is tangential to the circle.

We know that;

v = rω

r = radius of the piece = 10 cm or 0.1 m

ω = angular velocity

We have to convert 60 revolutions per minute to radians per second

1 rev/min = 0.10472 rad/s

60 revolutions per minute = 60 rev/min × 0.10472 rad/s/1 rev/min

= 6.28 rad/s

v =  0.1 m ×  6.28 rad/s

v = 0.628 m/s

The direction of this velocity is tangential to the circle.

A 950-kg car strikes a huge spring at a speed of 22m/s (fig. 11-54), compressing the spring 5.0m. (a) what is the spring stiffne
alukav5142 [94]

(a) The spring stiffness constant of the spring is 18,392 N/m.

(b) The time the car was in contact with the spring before it bounces off in the opposite direction is 0.23 s.

<h3>Kinetic energy of the car</h3>

The kinetic energy of the car is calculated as follows;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

K.E = ¹/₂ x 950 x 22²

K.E = 229,900 J

<h3>Stiffness constant of the spring</h3>

The stiffness constant of the spring is calculated as follows;

K.E =  U = ¹/₂kx²

k = 2U/x²

k = (2 x 229,900)/(5)²

k = 18,392 N/m

<h3>Force exerted on the spring</h3>

F = kx

F = 18,392 x 5

F = 91,960 N

<h3>Time of impact</h3>

F = mv/t

t = mv/F

t = (950 x 22)/(91960)

t = 0.23 s

A hot air balloon rising vertically is tracked by an observer located 3 miles from the lift-off point. At a certain moment, the
yuradex [85]

Answer:

\frac{dy}{dt}=1.2\frac{mi}{min}

Explanation:

We know that the tangent function relates the angle of the right triangle that forms the hot air balloon rising:

tan\theta=\frac{y}{x}\\y=xtan\theta(1)

Differentiating (1) with respect to time, we get:

\frac{dy}{dt}=tan\theta\frac{dx}{dt}+xsec^{2}\theta\frac{d\theta}{dt}\\

\frac{dx}{dt}=0 since x is a constant value. Replacing:

\frac{dy}{dt}=3mi(sec^{2}\frac{\pi}{3})0.1\frac{rad}{min}\\\frac{dy}{dt}=1.2\frac{mi}{min}
