Assume a satellite shines an unpolarized light on a telescope. The intensity of the light as it reaches the telescope is 1.1*10-

n200080 [17]

Answer:

$4.125\times 10^{-11}\ W/m^2$

Explanation:

$I_0$ = Intensity of unpolarized light = $1.1\times 10^{-10}\ W/m^2$

$\theta$ = Angle of the filter = $30^{\circ}$

Intensity of light is given by

$I=\dfrac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{1.1\times 10^{-10}}{2}cos^230\\\Rightarrow I=4.125\times 10^{-11}\ W/m^2$

The intensity of light detected by the camera is $4.125\times 10^{-11}\ W/m^2$

A rope of total mass m hnd length L is suspended vertically with an object of mass M suspended from the lower end. Find an expre

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Part a)

$v = \sqrt{xg + \frac{MLg}{m}}$

Part b)

t = 12 s

Explanation:

Part a)

Tension in the rope at a distance x from the lower end is given as

$T = \frac{m}{L}xg + Mg$

so the speed of the wave at that position is given as

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$

here we know that

$\mu = \frac{m}{L}$

now we have

$v = \sqrt{\frac{ \frac{m}{L}xg + Mg}{m/L}$

$v = \sqrt{xg + \frac{MLg}{m}}$

Part b)

time taken by the wave to reach the top is given as

$t = \int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{xg + \frac{MLg}{m}}}$

$t = \frac{1}{g}(2\sqrt{xg + \frac{MLg}{m}})$

$t = \frac{2}{9.8}(\sqrt{(39.2\times 9.8) + \frac{8(39.2)(9.8)}{1}})$

$t = 12 s$

A 6.00 A current runs through a 12-gauge copper wire (diameter 2.05 mm) and through a light bulb. Copper has 8.5×1028 free elect

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Current, I = 6 A

diameter of wire, d = 2.05 mm

number of electrons per unit volume, n = 8.5 x 10^28

If the diameter is doubled,

The resistance of the wire is inversely proportional to the square of the diameter of the wire, so the resistance is one forth an the current is directly proportional to the diameter of the wire so the current is four times the initial value.

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Speed greater than 4 m/s

Explanation:

Given that Ms. Kasper is in a panic. Her cat, Penny, is stuck in a tree and about to jump out. In order to save her cat, Ms. Kasper needs to run to the tree, 12 meters away. If it takes her cat, 3 seconds to fall, how fast would Ms. Kasper have to run to save her cat?

The distance = 12 m

Time = 3s

Speed = distance/time

Speed = 12/3

Speed = 4 m/s

Ms Kasper must run at speed more than 4m/s for her to save the cat.
