The absence of external force in the outer space, allows the piece of rock to continue moving at the same velocity for thousands of years.

<h3>Absence of external force on the outer space</h3>

The outer space is almost an absolute vacuum, because it's nearly empty. There is no matter such as air in the outer space that will provide an external force needed to change the velocity of the piece of rock.

From Newton's first law of motion, an object in a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, will continue in that state unless it is acted upon by an external force.

Thus, the absence of external force in the outer space, allows the piece of rock to continue moving at the same velocity for thousands of years.

Unpolarized light with an intensity of (25.0 A) units is passed through two successive polarizing filters, the first with its po
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

the intensity of the light after passing through the two polarizing filters is 4.11 units  

 

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

the intensity of an unpolarized light; I₀ = 25.0 units

when the unpolarized light passes through the first polarizer, its intensity reduces to half of its initial value;

⇒ I₁ = I₀/2 = 25/2 = 12.5 units

the angle between the transmission axes of two polarizers is;

∅ = 55° - 0° = 55°

The intensity of the light after passing through two polarizing filters will be;

I₂ = I₁cos²∅      

we substitute

I₂ = 12.5 × cos²(55)

I₂ = 12.5 × 0.3289899

I₂ = 4.11 units

Therefore, the intensity of the light after passing through the two polarizing filters is 4.11 units

Danny lowers the sails on his boat. He paddles upstream at 19 km/hr. The current is still running downstream at 15 km/hr. What i
Molodets [167]

Answer:

4 km/hr

Explanation:

The computation of the actual velocity is shown below:

Because the path of its paddles is opposed to the current direction, the real velocity can be determined by deducting the current velocity to its velocity while paddling

So, the actual velocity is

= Upstream - downstream

= 19 km/hr - 15 km/hr

= 4 km/hr

As we can see it is in positive, so it is an upstream direction

What is velocity ratio ?​
Rasek [7]

The ratio of the distance moved by the point at which the effort is applied in a simple machine to the distance moved by the point at which the load is applied, in the same time. In the case of an ideal (frictionless and weightless) machine, velocity ratio = mechanical advantage. Velocity ratio is sometimes called distance ratio.
