You know that when the displacement is equal to the amplitude (A), the velocity is zero, which implies that the kinetic energy (KE) is zeero, so the total mechanical energy (ME) is the potential energy (PE).

And you know that the potential energy, PE, is [ 1/2 ] k (x^2)

Then, use x = A, to calculate the PE in the point where ME = PE.

ME = PE = [1/2] k (A)^2.

At half of the amplitude, x = A/2 => PE = [ 1/2] k (A/2)^2

=> PE = [1/4] { [1/2]k(A)^2 } = .[1/4] ME

So, if PE is 1/4 of ME, KE is 3/4 of ME.

And the answer is 3/4

The bandgap of InP semiconductor laser is 1.0 eV. The effective mass of the valence band is ½ of the effective mass of the condu
klemol [59]

Answer: the wavelength of this transition is 1.2039 um

Explanation:

Given that;

the energy level between the transitioning energy gap Eg = 1.0 + 0.03 = 1.03 eV

we know that λ = 1.24 / Eg

so we substitute our Eg into the above equation

λ = 1.24 / 1.03

λ = 1.2039 um

therefore the wavelength of this transition is 1.2039 um

Friction removes energy from objects in motion. Which statement best describes how this works?
xenn [34]

<em>friction transforms KE into thermal energy (a)</em>

That's why, if it goes on long enough, the moving object actually gets warm.
