Mechanical waves travel the fastest in solids and liquids because the molecules are more closely packed together than gases, so energy is transferred from one particle to another particle faster<span>.</span>

All of the following are physical proporties of chlorine EXCEPT it ___

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Option D

Reacts with sodium to form chloride

Explanation:

First, reaction between chlorine and sodium is a chemical reaction and not physical properties. Secondly, when chlorine reacts with sodium, it forms sodium chloride, NaCl NOT chloride as depicted by the statement. Otherwise, chlorine exists in the form of gas and is yellowish in color. Moreover, it's density is approximately 3.11 grams per liter. Therefore, the right answer is option D

A 0.2 kg block sliding on a horizontal table slows down from 25 m/s to 20 m/s. How much energy does the block lose due to fricti

Papessa [141]

Answer:

the kinetic energy lost due to friction is 22.5 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the block, m = 0.2 kg

initial velocity of the block, u = 25 m/s

final velocity of the block, v = 20 m/s

The kinetic energy lost due to friction is calculated as;

$\Delta K.E= K.E_f - K.E_i\\\\\Delta K.E= \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - \frac{1}{2}mu^2\\\\\Delta K.E= \frac{1}{2}m(v^2 -u^2)\\\\\Delta K.E= \frac{1}{2} \times 0.2 (20^2 - 25^2)\\\\\Delta K.E= -22.5 \ J$

Therefore, the kinetic energy lost due to friction is 22.5 J

Suddenly a worker picks up the bag of gravel. Use energy conservation to find the speed of the bucket after it has descended 2.3

fiasKO [112]

Explanation:

A worker picks up the bag of gravel. We need to find the speed of the bucket after it has descended 2.30 m from rest. It is case of conservation of energy. So,

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh\\\\v=\sqrt{2gh}$

h = 2.3 m

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 2.3} \\\\v=6.71\ m/s$

So, the speed of the bucket after it has descended 2.30 m from rest is 6.71 m/s.
