J.J. Thompson is the scientist who recieved credit for discovering them.
The mass affects the kinetic energy because the more the mass the more energy is given to the object and the speed<span> affects by making it go faster and longer, so whenever speed goes up so does energy.</span>
J can get answer on this way:
Ek=m*V*V/2= (24kg*2m/s*2m/s)/2=48 Ј
Yes , increased tension suggests increased molecular attraction between the molecules of the ropes which affect the increase in the speed of wave.
