Answer:

#See solution for details.

Explanation:

1.

Tools:stopwatch, \ meter \ stick, \ mass \ measuring \ scale , \ force \ measuring  \ device.

Experiment \ 1:Calculate the speed of the wave using the time,t it takes to travel along the rope. Rope's length,L is measured using the meter stick.

-Attach one end of rope to a wall or post, shake from the unfixed end to generate a pulse. Measure the the time it takes for the pulse to reach the wall once it starts traveling using the stopwatch.

-Speed of the pulse can then be obtained as:

v=\frac{L}{t}

Experiment \ 2: Apply force of known value to the rope then use the following relation equation to find the speed of a pulse that travels on the rope.

v=\sqrt{\frac{F}{\mu}}\ ,\mu=\frac{m}{L}

-Use the measuring stick and measuring scale to determine L,m values of the rope then obtain \mu.

-Use the force measuring constant to determine F. These values can the be substituted in Experiment \ 1 to obtain v.

The temperature of water in a beaker is 45°C. What does this measurement represent
andrezito [222]
Based on my information, this would actually be representing "the average kinetic energy of water particles". So, as you take notice that where this temperature is being located, and also, how this would be 45°C, this would make more sense for this to be representing as <span>the average kinetic energy of water particles.</span>

The distance between two planets is 1600 km. How much time would the light
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

5.33*10^-3 seconds

Explanation:

c = d/t

c = speed of light constant (3.0*10^5 km/s)

d = distance (1600 km)

t = ?

3.0*10^5 = 1600/t

t = 1600/3.0*10^5

t = 5.33*10^-3 seconds

I hope this helped! :)
