The different molecules that make up the air in a room have, on average the same kinetic energy. How does the speed of the diffe

rent molecules that make up the air depend on their masses?

Answer:

speed of molecule ∝  1/mass of molecule.

Explanation:

The velocities of the molecules depend on their masses. That's because if the molecules are large in size, their velocity is slower. Therefore their velocity is quicker when their size is small, since the molecules can move faster.

Therefore , it can be written as

speed of molecule ∝  1/mass of molecule.

Suppose you are standing on the center of a merry-go-round that is at rest. You are holding a spinning bicycle wheel over your h
ioda

Answer:

B. It begins to rotate counterclockwise

Explanation:

It can happen that the merry-go-round remains at rest in the case when the person is standing on the axle  of the merry go round whose axis is fixed to some rigid support, but here the person is standing at the center of the merry-go-round not at the axle hence the according to the conservation of angular momentum. Angular momentum is given as:

L=I.\omega

for the conservation of momentum

I.\omega=I'.\omega'

where:

I= moment of inertia of the merry-go-round

\omega= angular velocity of the merry-go-round

I'= moment of inertia of the bicycle wheel

\omega'= angular velocity of the wheel

As the person tries to stop the wheel which is rotating then the person feels an opposing force which tries to moves the whole system in its direction.

a wave is described by where x is in meters, y is in centimeters and t is in seconds. The angular frequency is
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Complete Question

A wave is described by y(x,t) = 0.1 sin(3x + 10t), where x is in meters, y is in centimetres and t is in seconds. The angular wave  frequency is

Answer:

The  value is w =  10 \ rad /s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The equation describing the wave is y(x,t) = 0.1 sin(3x + 10t)

Generally the sinusoidal equation representing the motion of a wave is mathematically represented as

         y(x,t) =  Asin(kx + wt )

Where  w  is the  angular frequency

Now comparing this equation  with that given we see that

       w =  10 \ rad /s
