Answer

the ratio of kinetic energies of oxygen molecule and hydrogen molecule if oxygen is 16 times heavier than hydrogen is 1

Explanation

The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule at temperature T is given by following formula

E =\frac{3kT}{2}...............(1)

Here k is Boltzmann's constant (k=1.38\times 10^{-23} JK^{-1}).

From above equation it is clear that average kinetic energy of a gas molecule only depends on temperature.

Therefore kinetic energy of oxygen molecule E_{1}=\frac{3kT}{2}....2

and kinetic energy of hydrogen molecule E_{2}=\frac{3kT}{2}....3

the ratio of kinetic energies of oxygen molecule and hydrogen molecule if oxygen is 16 times heavier than hydrogen is given as

\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}} =\frac{\frac{3kT}{2}}{\frac{3kT}{2}}

\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}=1

Therefore, the ratio of kinetic energies of oxygen molecule and hydrogen molecule if oxygen is 16 times heavier than hydrogen is 1

GuDViN [60]

<u>Explanation:</u>

s = ?           u = 0m/s        v = ?         a = 5m/s²        t = 2s

v = u + at                  

  = 0 + (5 x 2)              

  = 10 m/s                    

s = ut + 1/2 at²

= (0)(2) +  x    \frac{1}{2}  x 5 x 2²

= 10 m

Hope this helps!

If Jerome is swinging on a rope and transferring energy from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy, ________ is being
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Explanation:

A force that leads to movement of an object is known as work.

The energy present in an object due to its position in a gravitational field is known as gravitational potential energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy obtained by an object due to its motion.

For example, when Jerome is swinging on a rope then there occurs movement in the swing due to which the swing has kinetic energy.

Since, a force has been applied on the swing to make it move. Hence, a work is also done.

Therefore, we can conclude that if Jerome is swinging on a rope and transferring energy from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy, work is being done.

The speed of a wave on a violin A string is 288 m/s and on the G string is 128 m/s. The force exerted on the ends of the string
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

\dfrac{\mu_A}{\mu_G}=0.197

Explanation:

given,

Speed of a wave on violin A = 288 m/s

Speed on the G string = 128 m/s

Force at the end of string G  = 110 N

Force at the end of string A = 350 N

the ratio of mass per unit length of the strings (A/G). = ?

speed for string A

 v_A = \sqrt{\dfrac{F_A}{\mu_A}}.......(1)

speed for string G

 v_G = \sqrt{\dfrac{F_G}{\mu_G}}........(2)

Assuming force is same in both the string

now,

dividing equation (2)/(1)

\dfrac{v_G}{v_A}=\dfrac{\sqrt{\dfrac{F_G}{\mu_G}}}{\sqrt{\dfrac{F_A}{\mu_A}}}

\dfrac{v_G}{v_A}=\dfrac{\sqrt{\mu_A}}{\sqrt{\mu_G}}

\dfrac{128}{288}=\dfrac{\sqrt{\mu_A}}{\sqrt{\mu_G}}

\dfrac{\mu_A}{\mu_G}=0.197
