Unpolarized light with an average intensity of 845 W/m2 moves along the x-axis when it enters a Polarizer A with a vertical tran

smission axis (along the y-axis). The transmitted light then enters a second polarizer, B at an angle in the y-z plane . The light that exits the second polarizer is found to have an average intensity of 275 W/m2. What is the orientation angle of the second polarizer (B) relative to the first one (A)

Answer:

θ = 36.2º

Explanation:

When light passes through a polarizer it becomes polarized and if it then passes through a second polarizer, it must comply with Malus's law

         I = I₀ cos² tea

The non-polarized light between the first polarized of this leaves half the intensity, with vertical polarization

          I₁ = I₀ / 2

          I₁ = 845/2

          I₁ = 422.5 W / m²

In this case, the incident light in the second polarizer has an intensity of I₁ = 422.5 W / m² and the light that passes through the polarizer has a value of

I = 275 W / m ²

      Cos² θ = I / I₁

      Cos θ = √ I / I₁

      Cos θ = √ (275 / 422.5)

     Cos θ = 0.80678

     θ = cos⁻¹ 0.80678

     θ = 36.2º

This is the angle between the two polarizers

Answer:

0.833

Explanation:

Power = energy / time

Power = force × distance / time

Power = force × velocity

P = (850 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (1.00 m/s)

P = 8330 W

P = 8.33 kW

The efficiency of the motor is therefore:

e = 8.33 kW / 10.0 kW

e = 0.833

A chicken crosses a 7.50 m wide road at a constant speed of 0.367 m/s. How much time does it take to cross (in seconds)?
mars1129 [50]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 20.436 seconds

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Speed = Distance × time

Therefore;

Time = Distance/speed

Distance = 7.50 m, speed = 0.367 m/s

Time = 7.50/0.367

         <u>= 20.436 seconds </u>

A particle, whose acceleration is constant, is moving in the negative x direction at a speed of 4.91 m/s, and 12.9 s later the p
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The particle’s velocity is -16.9 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity of particle in negative x direction= 4.91 m/s

Time = 12.9 s

Final velocity of particle in positive x direction= 7.12 m/s

Before 12.4 sec,

Velocity of particle in negative x direction= 5.32 m/s

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using equation of motion

v = u+at

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

Where, v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

t = time

Put the value into the equation

a=\dfrac{7.12-(-4.91)}{12.9}

a=0.933\ m/s^2

We need to calculate the initial speed of the particle

Using equation of motion again

v=u+at

u=v-at

Put the value into the formula

u=-5.321-0.933\times12.4

u=-16.9\ m/s

Hence, The particle’s velocity is -16.9 m/s.

balu736 [363]

Answer:

The charges from the thunderstorm flow through the conductive metal

of which the vehicle is made and distribute themselves on the outside surface of the vehicle

Explanation:

It is actually safer to stay inside a car during a thunderstorm rather than standing outside the car. The reason is this, thunder passes electrical charges through a conductor. The body of the vehicle is made of a metal which is a good conductor of electricity. The charges will redistribute themselves on the body of the vehicle (a metallic conductor of electricity) hence the occupants of the car are relatively safe.

The reasons described above makes those inside the vehicle relatively safe compared to a person standing outside.
