2.4 bromium has two naturally occurring isotopes: 79br, with an atomic weight of 78.918 amu, and 81br, with an atomic weight of 80.916 amu. if the average atomic weight for br is 79.903 amu, calculate the fraction-of-occurrences of these two isotopes.

49.3% 81Br and 50.7% 79Br or 81Br and 79BR

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the fraction-of-occurrences of the isotopes we must write the following equation. x is the isotopic abundance of 81Br, we can use 1 - x to get the isotopic abundance of 79Br.

(78.918)(1 - x) + (80.916)(x) = 79.903

78.918 - 78.918x + 80.916x = 79.903

1.998x = 0.985

x = 0.493

0.493 × 100 = 49.3% 81Br

100 - 49.3 = 50.7% 79Br

49.3% 81Br and 50.7% 79Br or 81Br and 79BR

question: ray weighs 100 kilograms, his wrestling partner, bobby, weighs 50 kilograms. if ray moves at 4 m s , how fast will bobby have to run at him to apply an equal amount of kinetic energy?

answer: 8 m/s he needs to run twice as fast to keep up so he has some work to do

explanation:   if the mass has units of kilograms and the velocity of meters per second, the kinetic energy has units of kilograms-meters squared per second squared.

geosphere and hydrosphere.

this is because the geosphere has to do with geological events, while the hydrosphere controls all water on earth.
