Answer:

If the velocity is constant, then there is no acceleration. That is, the value of the acceleration is 0.

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.

Which of the following is not an example of an engine?

SashulF [63]

The answer is A. waterfall
To be considered as an engine , it should be a Man-made objects that could be used to produce power that creates motions.
From all the options above could be used to produce such power, but the waterfall is not made by mandkind

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 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.

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:

$U=0$
