What is the difference between polarized light and unpolarized light?

1 answer:

5 0

Unpolarized light has light waves that are oriented in all directions while polarized light has all the light waves oscillating in one direction. An example for unpolarized is the Sun, or any other simple type of light.

As temperature increases, ________. Group of answer choices the resistance of a conductor remains the same the resistance of a c

amm1812

Answer:

resistance of a conductor increases

Explanation:

The resistance of conductors is directly proportional to the temperature of the conductor. This implies that when the temperature of the conductor is increased, the resistance of the conductor increases likewise.

This is applied in the resistance thermometer. Resistance thermometers are useful for accurate temperature measurements at very high or very low temperatures.

A ship's wheel has a moment of inertia of 0.930 kilogram·meters squared. The inner radius of the ring is 26 centimeters, and the

Vikki [24]

We can use the formula of the moment of inertia given by:

$r\cdot F=I\alpha$

Where:

r = Distance from the point about which the torque is being measured to the point where the force is applied

F = Force

I = Moment of inertia

α = Angular acceleration

So:

$\begin{gathered} r\cdot F=(-0.26\times314+290\times0.32)=92.8-81.64=11.16 \\ I=0.930 \\ so,_{\text{ }}solve_{\text{ }}for_{\text{ }}\alpha: \\ \alpha=\frac{r\cdot F}{I} \\ \alpha=\frac{11.16}{0.930} \\ \alpha=\frac{12rad}{s^2} \end{gathered}$

Answer:

12 rad/s²

a 90 kg architect is standing 2 meters from the center of a scaffold help up by a rope on both sides. the scaffold is 6m long an

Mademuasel [1]

We can solve the problem by requiring the equilibrium of the forces and the equilibrium of torques.

1) Equilibrium of forces:
$T_1 - W_p - W_s + T_2 =0$
where
$W_p = (90kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=883 N$ is the weight of the person
$W_s = (200kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=1962 N$ is the weight of the scaffold
Re-arranging, we can write the equation as
$T_1 = 2845 N-T_2$ (1)

2) Equilibrium of torques:
$T_1 \cdot 3 m - W_p \cdot 2 m - T_2 \cdot 3m =0$
where 3 m and 2 m are the distances of the forces from the center of mass of the scaffold.
Using $W_p = 883 N$ and replacing T1 with (1), we find
$2845 N \cdot 3 m - T_2 \cdot 3 m - 833 N \cdot 2 m - T_2 \cdot 3 m=0$
from which we find
$T_2 = 1128 N$

And then, substituting T2 into (1), we find
$T_1 = 1717 N$

Why do atoms like carbon and nitrogen not like to make ions, while sodium and chlorine do?

krok68 [10]

Atoms like carbon and nitrogen do not form ions because the electronegativity of these atoms are not that high nor very low which means electrons are fairly stable in the atom. While chlorine has very high electronegativity and for sodium very low, atoms tend to receive or release electrons.
