Answer:

Explanation:
From the law of conservation of energy
Energy lost by the spring, W=Kinetic energy gained, KE+Potential energy gained, PE+Work done by friction, Fr



The required distance from A to B is 
It depends most on the temperature of the gas.
Answer:
The answers to the questions have been solved in the attachment.
Explanation:
The answers to part a to e are all contained in the attachment. For answer part b, temperature and frequency were assumed to be fixed or constant. V² is directly proportional to T telling us that variation in T gives us a square in the frequency variation. This tells us why it is difficult when both frequencies are on this side of the black body.
