Answer:
A-the energy of the wave decreases gradually
Explanation:
when a wave is acted upon by an external damping force the energy of the wave decreases gradually.
The energy degrades into the form of heat which is considered to be of less value and use. The reason is because it disperses and spreads more widely.
So therefore it end up as heat with a little sound but that is close to none because that too disperses into heat i.e. decreased form of energy.
Answer: a
Explanation: because the answer is 1.4444444 and that's the closest
Acceleration = Change in Velocity / time
a = (v - u) / t
Where v = final velocity in m/s
u = initial velocity in m/s
t = time in seconds.
a = acceleration in m/s²
A proper record of the changes in velocity with the corresponding time would help find the acceleration.
Wave speed = (frequency) x (wavelength)
= (266 /sec) x (1.3 meters)
= 345.8 meters/sec
Answer:
Temperature of the gas molecules is 7.96 x 10⁴ K
Explanation:
Given :
Ions accelerated through voltage, V = 10.3 volts
The work done to change the position of singly charged gas ions is given by the relation :
W = q x V
Here q is charge of the ions and its value is 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C.
Average kinetic energy of gas molecules is given by the relation:
K.E. = 
Here T is temperature and k is Boltzmann constant and its value is 1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K.
According to the problem, the average kinetic energy of gas is equal to the work done to move the singly charged ions, i.e. ,
K.E. = W

Rearrange the above equation in terms of T :

Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.

T = 7.96 x 10⁴ K
