Answer:
a
e(k) = \frac{2a}{c} * sin (\frac{k*a}{2} )
b
G_{v} = \frac{d e(k ) }{dk } = \frac{a^2}{c} * cos (\frac{k* a}{2} )
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The velocity of transverse waves in a crystal of atomic separation is

Generally the dispersion relation is mathematically represented as

=> 
=> 
=> 
Generally the group velocity is mathematically represented as

It describes the relationship between force and acceleration
Answer:
The driver hits the stationery dog because the applied force is less than required force
Explanation:
Kinetic energy will be given by
where m is the mass of the vehicle and v is the speed/velocity of the vehicle.
Substituting 800 Kg for m and 20 m/s for v we obtain

Frictional force by vehicle pads is given by
where d is the distance moved
Substituting 160000 for KE and 50 m for d we obtain

Therefore, the vehicle hits the dog since the required force is 3200N but the driver applied only 2000 N
This type of listening response is called back-channel signal. This allows the speaker to know that the listener is attentive or willing to engage a conversation between them. It is shown through short utterances, facial expressions, head nods and others.
Answer:
i. The error is the rough convex mirror.
ii. This should be replaced with a smooth convex morror.
Explanation:
Reflection is dependent on the surface involved and has two types; diffuse and specular. When the surface is rough, diffused reflection is observed. The surface causes a distortion of the incident light (the rays would be reflected at different angles to one another) after reflection. This makes some rays to interfere with one another. While specular reflection is observed with a smooth surface.
In the statement, the rough convex mirror would produce a distorted reflection which would produce diffused reflection. The effect is that few or no rays (depending on the degree of how rough the surfce is) would be reflected to the other smooth, flat diagonal mirror.
