dolphi86 [110]

The watch hand covers an angular displacement of 2π radians in 60 seconds.

ω = 2π/60
ω = 0.1 rad/s

v = ωr
v = 0.1 x 0.08
v = 8 x 10⁻³ m/s

What happens to the average kinetic energy of water molecules as water freezes? It decreases as the water absorbs energy from it

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:the average kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature . When water freezes, the temperature decreases and therefore, the average kinetic energy will also decreases as well.

A 1.5m long string weighs 0.0020 kg. It is tensioned to 100N. A disturbance travels along it with a wavelength of 1.5m, find:a)

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

the propagation velocity of the wave is 274.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

length of the string, L = 1.5 m

mass of the string, m = 0.002 kg

Tension of the string, T = 100 N

wavelength, λ = 1.5 m

The propagation velocity of the wave is calculated as;

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\\mu \ is \ mass \ per \ unit \ length \ of \ the \ string\\\\\mu = \frac{0.002 \ kg}{1.5 \ m} = 0.00133 \ kg/m\\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{100}{0.00133} } \\\\v = 274.2 \ m/s$
