<h2>Answer: in a gaseous state </h2>

The average kinetic energy of the water molecules is greater in its gaseous state (in the form of water steam).

This is because in the gaseous state the water molecules are well separated from each other and can move freely in all the available space they have; because there are no cohesion forces that bond them.

In contrast to the liquid and solid state, in which the molecules have less movement.

RC time constant circuit if R 50 KOC-21 a TOSS c. 1.05 s . what is the expected RC value b. 10.55 d. 0.105 s

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Time constant of RC circuit is 0.105 seconds.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Resistance, $R=50\ K\Omega=5\times 10^4\ \Omega$

Capacitance, $C=2.1\ \mu F=2.1\times 10^{-6}\ F$

We need to find the expected time constant for this RC circuit. It can be calculated as :

$\tau=R\times C$

$\tau=5\times 10^4\times 2.1\times 10^{-6}$

$\tau=0.105\ s$

So, the time constant for this RC circuit is 0.105 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

A small metal ball is suspended from the ceiling by a thread of negligible mass. The ball is then set in motion in a horizontal

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Time taken, $T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l\ cos\theta}{g}}$

Explanation:

It is given that, a small metal ball is suspended from the ceiling by a thread of negligible mass. The ball is then set in motion in a horizontal circle so that the thread’s trajectory describes a cone as shown in attached figure.

From the figure,

The sum of forces in y direction is :

$T\ cos\theta-mg=0$

$T=\dfrac{mg}{cos\theta}$

Sum of forces in x direction,

$T\ sin\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$mg\ tan\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$ .............(1)

Also, $r=l\ sin\theta$

Equation (1) becomes :

$mg\ tan\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{l\ sin\theta}$

$v=\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}$ ...............(2)

Let t is the time taken for the ball to rotate once around the axis. It is given by :

$T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v}$

Put the value of T from equation (2) to the above expression:

$T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}}$

$T=\dfrac{2\pi l\ sin\theta}{\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}}$

On solving above equation :

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l\ cos\theta}{g}}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Robert has just bought a new model roket, and is trying to measure its flight characteristics. The rocket engine package claims

rewona [7]

At the peak of its flight ALL the energy given to the rocket is potential energy (its velocity is zero) and that is calculated as mgh So Energy given to rocket = mgh Energy expended by engine = F x D (D= height where engine stops) Energy 'lost' to drag is the difference between the two values. please if this helped mark it as the brainiest answer.

What is the transition from a gas to a liquid?

postnew [5]

The transition from gas to liquid is called condensation. An example would be water droplets forming on an ice cold glass placed in room temperature.
