How does laser works ?<br>​
erastova [34]

Explanation:

Lasers produce a narrow beam of light in which all of the light waves have very similar wavelengths. The laser's light waves travel together with their peaks all lined up, or in phase. This is why laser beams are very narrow, very bright, and can be focused into a very tiny spot.

Why Fossil fuel has been used more in the existing world ?​
Afina-wow [57]
  • Fossil fuels are found most of the part of the world .
  • It can be found easily by the people.
  • It is free of cost or low cost.
  • Thats why people can find it easily and in low cost.
  • Also it is easy to use
  • So fossil fuel has been used more in existing world

A horizontal spring-mass system has low friction, spring stiffness 165 N/m, and mass 0.6 kg. The system is released with an init
AURORKA [14]

a) 19.4 cm

b) 3.2 m/s

Explanation:

a)

A horizontal spring-mass system has a motion called simple harmonic motion, in which the mass oscillates following a periodic function (sine or cosine) around an equilibrium position.

As the system oscillates back and forth, its total mechanical energy (sum of elastic potential energy and kinetic energy) will remain conserved (since we consider friction negligible). The elastic potential energy at any point is given by:

U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where

k is the spring constant

x is the displacement of the system

While the kinetic energy at any point is

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass

v is the speed

So the total mechanical energy of the system is

E=K+U=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}kx^2

For this system, when it is initially released,

m = 0.6 kg

k = 165 N/m

x = 7 cm = 0.07 m

v = 3 m/s

So the total energy is

E=\frac{1}{2}(0.6)(3)^2+\frac{1}{2}(165)(0.07)^2=3.1 J

Since friction is negligible, this total energy remains constant. Therefore, when the system reaches its maximum stretch during the motion, the kinetic energy will be zero and all the mechanical energy will be elastic potential energy; so we will have:

E=U=\frac{1}{2}kx_{max}^2

where x_{max} is the maximum stretch. Solving for x_{max},

x_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(3.1)}{165}}=0.194 m

So, 19.4 cm.

b)

The maximum speed in a spring-mass oscillating system is reached when the kinetic energy is maximum, and therefore, since the total energy is conserved, when the elastic potential energy is zero:

U=0

which means when the displacement is zero:

x = 0

So, when the system is transiting through the equilibrium position.

Therefore, the total mechanical energy is equal to the maximum kinetic energy:

E=K=\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2

where

m is the mass

v_{max} is the maximum speed

Here we have:

E = 3.1 J

m = 0.6 kg

Therefore, solving for the maximum speed,

v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(3.1)}{0.6}}=3.2 m/s
