The value of cos θ in the given figure is 0.98.

<h3>What is cosine of an angle?</h3>

The cosine of an angle is defined as the sine of the complementary angle.

The complementary angle equals the given angle subtracted from a right angle, 90.

cos θ = sin(90 - θ)

For example, if the angle is 30°, then its complement is 60°

cos 30 = sin(90 - 30)

cos 30 = sin 60

0.866 = 0.866

<h3>Cosine of an angle with respect to sides of a right triangle</h3>

cos θ = adjacent side / hypotenuse side

adjacent side of the given right triangle is calculated as follows;

adj² = 10² - 2²

adj² = 100 - 4

adj² = 96

adj = √96

adj = 9.8

cos θ = 9.8/10

cos θ = 0.98

Thus, the value of cos θ in the given figure is 0.98.

In the standing waves experiment, the string has a mass of 31.2 g and a length of 0.7 m. The string is connected to a mechanical
mestny [16]

Answer:

linear density of the string = 4.46 × 10⁻⁴ kg/m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the string = 31.2 g

length of string = 0.7 m

linear density of the string = \dfrac{mass\ of\ string}{length}

linear density of the string = \dfrac{31.2\times 10^{-3}\ kg}{0.7\ m}

linear density of the string = 44.57 × 10⁻³ kg/m

linear density of the string = 4.46 × 10⁻⁴ kg/m

A mass oscillates up and down on a vertical spring with an amplitude of 3 cm and a period of 2 s. What total distance does the m
harina [27]

Explanation:

It is given that,

A mass oscillates up and down on a vertical spring with an amplitude of 3 cm and a period of 2 s. It is a case of simple harmonic motion. If the amplitude of a wave is T seconds, then the distance cover by that object is 4 times the amplitude.

In 2 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 12 cm.

In 1 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 6 cm

So, in 16 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 96 cm

So, the distance covered by the mass in 16 seconds is 96 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.

Describe an example where materials are prepared as fluids so that they can be moved easily
den301095 [7]

Answer:

In general solids are easier to transport than liquids, but the above metal example is a valid one and the only other one that comes to mind is that of concrete. It is mixed as a liquid and transported as such, but then sprayed or laid down to dry and form a solid surface or filler.

Explain the relationship between temperature, energy, and motion of particles in an object.
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Explanation:

Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body.

Energy is the ability to do work by a body. They are of two forms, potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is due to the position of a body whereas kinetic energy is due to the motion of a body.

Motion is the change in position of a body with time.

Temperature, energy and motion are all related.

Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy which is concerned about the motion particles. This form of energy results from heat changes in a body which causes temperature differences.

When a body is heat and changes temperature, the particles begins to vibrate as they gain, thermal energy, a form of kinetic energy. At a point, the particles will break lose and set in motion.
