\bold{\huge{\underline{\purple{ Answer }}}}

<u>Difference </u><u>between </u><u>Atomic </u><u>mass</u><u>, </u><u>relative </u><u>atomic </u><u>mass </u><u>and </u><u>average </u><u>atomic </u><u>mass</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

<h3><u>Atomic </u><u>Mass </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

  • Atomic mass is the mass of neutrons and protons present in the nucleus of an atom .
  • It is always calculated for a single element and having direct value
  • For isotopes also, the atomic mass is calculated separately . Example :- <u>Carbon </u><u>1</u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>carbon </u><u>1</u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>and </u><u>carbon </u><u>1</u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>have </u><u>different </u><u>atomic </u><u>mass</u><u>. </u>
  • The SI unit of Atomic mass is " u" and "amu"

<h3><u>Relative </u><u>Atomic </u><u>mass </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

  • Relative atomic mass is mean mass of the atoms of an element which is compared to the 1/12th mass of carbon - 12 .
  • Carbon - 12 is taken as a relative when we calculate the relative atomic mass of any element
  • For calculating relative atomic mass, we need to know the masses, percentage and abundance of all types of elements
  • Relative atomic mass is a dimension less quantity

<h3><u>Average </u><u>Atomic </u><u>Mass </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

  • Average atomic mass is the average mass of an atoms of a particular element by considering it's isotopes
  • While we calculate average atomic mass is a standardized number. Whereas, Average atomic mass sometimes varies geologically .
  • It also includes percentage, abundance and masses of given element .
  • In average atomic mass, We do not compare mean value with the 1/12 mass of carbon - 12
  • The unit of Average atomic mass is "Amu" or " u " .

An airplane starts at rest and Excelerator down the runway for 20 seconds. At the end of the runway, its velocity is 80 m/s Nort
masha68 [24]
According to the formula you have given us to work with . . .

1). The airplane's acceleration is

(80 m/s north - zero) / (20 sec) = 4 m/sec^2 north

2).  For the cyclist:

                                          (V-final - zero) / 20sec = 0.5 m/s^2 south

Multiply each side by 20s :  V-final = 0.5 m/s^2 south x (20sec) = 

                                                                                         10 m/s south
