The objective lens in a DVD player must move quickly to keep the laser beam focused on the disc's reflective layer. Why must thi

s lens have a very small mass?

Zinaida [17]3 years ago

Explanation:

The small mass of lens in a DVD player accounts for small inertia of the lens. Hence, even on application of force of small magnitude, the lens is rapidly accelerated. Moreover, the small mass of lens also accounts for lower resistance to change in its motion and therefore, again can be rapidly accelerated back and forth.

How are crystals prepared?
Contact [7]

Answer:

The process of crystal forming is called crystallization. Crystals often form in nature when liquids cool and start to harden. Certain molecules in the liquid gather together as they attempt to become stable. In nature, crystals can form when liquid rock, called magma, cools.

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

a.

\displaystyle a(0 )=8.133\ m/s^2

\displaystyle a(2)=2.05\ m/s^2

\displaystyle a(4)=0.52\ m/s^2

b.\displaystyle X(t)=11.81(t+1.45\ e^{-0.6887t})-17.15

c. t=9.9 \ sec

Explanation:

Modeling With Functions

Careful measurements have produced a model of one sprinter's velocity at a given t, and it's is given by

\displaystyle V(t)=a(1-e^{bt})

For Carl Lewis's run at the 1987 World Championships, the values of a and b are

\displaystyle a=11.81\ ,\ b=-0.6887

Please note we changed the value of b to negative to make the model have sense. Thus, the equation for the velocity is

\displaystyle V(t)=11.81(1-e^{-0.6887t})

a. What was Lewis's acceleration at t = 0 s, 2.00 s, and 4.00 s?

To compute the accelerations, we must find the function for a as the derivative of v

\displaystyle a(t)=\frac{dv}{dt}=11.81(0.6887\ e^{0.6887t})

\displaystyle a(t)=8.133547\ e^{-0.6887t}

For t=0

\displaystyle a(0)=8.133547\ e^o

\displaystyle a(0 )=8.133\ m/s^2

For t=2

\displaystyle a(2)=8.133547\ e^{-0.6887\times 2}

\displaystyle a(2)=2.05\ m/s^2

\displaystyle a(4)=8.133547\ e^{-0.6887\times 4}

\displaystyle a(4)=0.52\ m/s^2

b. Find an expression for the distance traveled at time t.

The distance is the integral of the velocity, thus

\displaystyle X(t)=\int v(t)dt \int 11.81(1-e^{-0.6887t})dt=11.81(t+\frac{e^{-0.6887t}}{0.6887})+C

\displaystyle X(t)=11.81(t+1.45201\ e^{-0.6887t})+C

To find the value of C, we set X(0)=0, the sprinter starts from the origin of coordinates

\displaystyle x(0)=0=>11.81\times1.45201+C=0

Solving for C

\displaystyle c=-17.1482\approx -17.15

Now we complete the equation for the distance

\displaystyle X(t)=11.81(t+1.45\ e^{-0.6887t})-17.15

c. Find the time Lewis needed to sprint 100.0 m.

The equation for the distance cannot be solved by algebraic procedures, but we can use approximations until we find a close value.

We are required to find the time at which the distance is 100 m, thus

\displaystyle X(t)=100=>11.81(t+1.45\ e^{-0.6887t})-17.15=100

Rearranging

\displaystyle t+1.45\ e^{-0.6887t}=9.92

We define an auxiliary function f(t) to help us find the value of t.

\displaystyle f(t)=t+1.45\ e^{-0.687t}-9.92

Let's try for t=9 sec

\displaystyle f(9)=9+1.45\ e^{-0.687\times 9}-9.92=-0.92

Now with t=9.9 sec

\displaystyle f(9.9)=9.9+1.45\ e^{-0.687\times 9.9}-9.92=-0.0184

That was a real close guess. One more to be sure for t=10 sec

\displaystyle f(10)=10+1.45\ e^{-0.687\times 10}-9.92=0.081

The change of sign tells us we are close enough to the solution. We choose the time that produces a smaller magnitude for f(t).  

At t\approx 9.9\ sec, \text{ Lewis sprinted 100 m}
