Polarized light waves are those that have only one plane of vibration. Polarization is the process by which non-polarized light is converted into polarised light. There are numerous ways to polarise light.

A characteristic of transverse waves called polarisation identifies the geometric angle of the oscillations. A transverse wave's oscillation direction is perpendicular to the wave's motion direction.

given

Only 72.0% of the light's intensity makes it through the sheet and hits another sheet of polarising material. The second sheet lets no light flow through it.

Given that no light passes through the second sheet because both sheets are crossed, the angle the transmission axis of the second sheet makes with the vertical is

θ₂ = θ₁ + 90°

   = 31.94° + 90°

   = 1 21.94°

for the first sheet and

Icos²θ₁ = I

I/I₀ = 0.72

θ₁ = cos⁻¹√(0.72)

    = 31.94°

for the second sheet, respectively. This is because the malus law states that I = Iocos²θ₁ for the first sheet.

A car traveled 112.0m in 24.500s, what was a car’s average speed?
kodGreya [7K]

Average speed of the car is 4.57 m/s

Explanation:

  • Speed is calculated by the rate of change of displacement.
  • It is given by the formula, Speed = Distance/Time
  • Here, distance = 112 m and time = 24.5 s

Speed of the car = 112/24.5 = 4.57 m/s

Three identical resistors are connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance increases by 630 when one resistor is removed and
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

each resistor is 540 Ω

Explanation:

Let's assign the letter R to the resistance of the three resistors involved in this problem. So, to start with, the three resistors are placed in parallel, which results in an equivalent resistance R_e defined by the formula:

\frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{1}{R} } +\frac{1}{R} } +\frac{1}{R} \\\frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{3}{R} \\R_e=\frac{R}{3}

Therefore, R/3 is the equivalent resistance of the initial circuit.

In the second circuit, two of the resistors are in parallel, so they are equivalent to:

\frac{1}{R'_e}=\frac{1}{R} +\frac{1}{R}\\\frac{1}{R'_e}=\frac{2}{R} \\R'_e=\frac{R}{2} \\

and when this is combined with the third resistor in series, the equivalent resistance (R''_e) of this new circuit becomes the addition of the above calculated resistance plus the resistor R (because these are connected in series):

R''_e=R'_e+R\\R''_e=\frac{R}{2} +R\\R''_e=\frac{3R}{2}

The problem states that the difference between the equivalent resistances in both circuits is given by:

R''_e=R_e+630 \,\Omega

so, we can replace our found values for the equivalent resistors (which are both in terms of R) and solve for R in this last equation:

\frac{3R}{2} =\frac{R}{3} +630\,\Omega\\\frac{3R}{2} -\frac{R}{3} = 630\,\Omega\\\frac{7R}{6} = 630\,\Omega\\\\R=\frac{6}{7} *630\,\Omega\\R=540\,\Omega

A. A child is twirling a 1.52 kg object in a vertical circle with a radius of 67.6
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

(a) 4.21 m/s

(b) 24.9 N

Explanation:

(a) Draw a free body diagram of the object when it is at the bottom of the circle.  There are two forces on the object: tension force T pulling up and weight force mg pulling down.

Sum the forces in the radial (+y) direction:

∑F = ma

T − mg = m v² / r

v = √(r (T − mg) / m)

v = √(0.676 m (54.7 N − 1.52 kg × 9.8 m/s²) / 1.52 kg)

v = 4.21 m/s

(b) Draw a free body diagram of the object when it is at the top of the circle.  There are two forces on the object: tension force T pulling down and weight force mg pulling down.

Sum the forces in the radial (-y) direction:

∑F = ma

T + mg = m v² / r

T = m v² / r − mg

T = (1.52 kg) (4.21 m/s)² / (0.676 m) −  (1.52 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

T = 24.9 N
