Answer:Work

Explanation:

When a spring is compressed the energy changes from kinetic to potential energy as Energy cannot be destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.

This can be best explained with the help of work. Suppose a block with certain kinetic energy comes in contact to the spring its kinetic energy changes to Potential Energy of the spring or we can say that its Kinetic Energy is converted to Potential energy as the block does work on spring.

Block compresses the spring by changing its length and it requires some work which is equal to change in its Potential Energy of spring.

To solve the exercise it is necessary to take into account the concepts of wavelength as a function of speed.

From the definition we know that the wavelength is described under the equation,

$\lambda = \frac{c}{f}$

Where,

c = Speed of light (vacuum)

f = frequency

Our values are,

$f = 2Hz$

$c = 3*10^8km/s$

Replacing we have,

$\lambda = \frac{c}{f}$

$\lambda = \frac{3*10^8km/s}{2Hz}$

$\lambda = 1.5*10^8m$

<em>Therefore the wavelength of this wave is $1.5*10^{8}m$ </em>

Answer:

a).11.546J

b).2.957kW

Explanation:

Using Inertia and tangential velocity

a).

$w=2250*2\pi *\frac{1}{60}\\ w=235.61$

$I=\frac{1}{2}*m*((\frac{d_{i} }{2})^{2} +(\frac{d_{e} }{2})^{2})\\m=100g *\frac{ikg}{1000g}=0.1kg\\ d_{i}=3cm*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.03m \\ d_{e}=18cm*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.18m\\I=\frac{1}{2}*0.1kg*((\frac{0.03m}{2})^{2} +(\frac{0.18m}{2})^{2})\\I=0.41625x10^{-3}kg*m^{2}$
