Refraction will occur in the atmosphere when there is a large temperature difference between the ground and the air.

The average intensity of light emerging from a polarizing sheet is 0.708 W/m2, and that of the horizontally polarized light inci

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Angle θ = 30.82°

Explanation:

From Malus’s law, since the intensity of a wave is proportional to its amplitude squared, the intensity I of the transmitted wave is related to the incident wave by; I = I_o cos²θ

where;

I_o is the intensity of the polarized wave before passing through the filter.

In this question,

I is 0.708 W/m²

While I_o is 0.960 W/m²

Thus, plugging in these values into the equation, we have;

0.708 W/m² = 0.960 W/m² •cos²θ

Thus, cos²θ = 0.708 W/m²/0.960 W/m²

cos²θ = 0.7375

Cos θ = √0.7375

Cos θ = 0.8588

θ = Cos^(-1)0.8588

θ = 30.82°

An experiment is conducted using 2 plants to determine if the amount of sunlight they receive affects how fast they grow. Which

Phantasy [73]

Greetings!

The correct answer choice is Choice 4.

Why?

In a scientific experiment the only thing being changed is the independent variable. Everything else should stay the same.

In this experiment, the independent variable is the amount of sunlight each plant should receive. Here's a tip- when looking for and independent variable look for whats being changed on purpose.

Hope this helps!

You are at the edge of a diving board that is 9 meters above the water. If you weigh 500 Newtons, what is your potential energy?

Semenov [28]

Answer:

4500 J

Explanation:

First, let's define some equations and derivations.

Our potential energy formula is:

$\displaystyle U = mgh$

Where m is mass (in kg), g is the gravitational constant (in m/s²), and h is height (in m).

We also know that mg is equal to the weight of an object (in N), from Newton's 2nd Law of Motion: F = ma (Force is equal to [constant] mass times acceleration).

Therefore, we can simply substitute force into the equation:

$\displaystyle U = Fh$

Where F is the force (in N) and h is still height (in m).

Now we can calculate the amount of potential energy in our system, measured in joules.

Substitute in the given variables, F = 500 N and h = 9 m:

$\displaystyle U = (500 \ N)(9 \ m)$

Using simple Pre-Algebra rules, we find that:

$\displaystyle U = 4500 \ J$

This tells us that the we have 4500 joules of potential energy when I am 9 meters above the water on the edge of the diving board.

Which part of a stream's sediment load moves the slowest?

Rudiy27

The bed load moves the slowest from all the parts of the stream's sediment. It consists of particles suspended that are suspended and float around the bed. This part is the slowest in motion, as it rolls, and moves with the flow. The particles near the bed are not dissolved so they settle at the bottom and move with the stream.
