Answer:

2940 kg m/s

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the final velocity of the motorcycle when it hits the ground. The horizontal component of the velocity is zero, so we can just find the vertical component, which is given by:

v_y = v_0+gt

where

v0 =0 is the initial vertical velocity

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

t = 3 s is the time of the fall

Substituting into the formula, we find

v_y=0+(9.8 m/s^2)(3 s)=29.4 m/s

And so, we can now find the momentum of the motorcycle upon hitting the ground, which is given by the product between the mass and the velocity:

p=mv=(100 kg)(29.4 m/s)=2940 kg m/s

Unpolarized light of intensity Io is incident on a stack of 7 polarizing filters, each with its axis rotated 17°cw with respect
mash [69]

The ratio of the intensity between light intensity that emerges from the last filter and unpolarized light of intensity, I₀ is It/I₀ = 0.2925

To answer the question, we need to know what polarization of light is.

<h3>What is polarization of light?</h3>

This is when the electric field vector of light is oscillating in one plane.

  • Now for light of intensity I' which is initially unpolarized, its intensity after polarization is I = 1/2I'.
  • Also, for light initially polarized, its intensity after polarization is I"' = I"cos²Ф where Ф is the angle between the initial direction and the direction of polarization.
<h3>Intensity of light through each polarized filter</h3>

Given that we have 7 polarizing filters, each rotated 17° cw with respect to the previous filter.

So, since the light is initially unpolarized,

  • The intensity through the first polarizing filter is I₁ = 1/2I₀ where I₀ is the initial intensity.
  • The intensity through the second polarizing filter is I₂ = I₁cos²17°= 1/2I₀cos²17°
  • The intensity through the third polarizing filter is I₃ = I₂cos²17° = 1/2I₀cos⁴17°
  • The intensity through the fourth polarizing filter is I₄ = I₃cos²17° = 1/2I₀cos⁶17°
  • The intensity through the fifth polarizing filter is I₅ = I₄cos²17° = 1/2I₀cos⁸17°
  • The intensity through the sixth polarizing filter is I₆ = I₅cos²17° = 1/2I₀cos¹⁰17°
  • The intensity through the seventh polarizing filter is I₇ = I₆cos²17° = 1/2I₀cos¹²17°.
<h3>The ratio of the intensity between light intensity that emerges from the last filter and unpolarized light of intensity</h3>

Since I₇ is the last intensity I₇ = It = 1/2I₀cos¹²17°.

So, It/I₀ = 1/2cos¹²17°

= 1/2(0.9563)¹²

= 1/2 × 0.5850

= 0.2925

So, the ratio of the intensity between light intensity that emerges from the last filter and unpolarized light of intensity, I₀ is It/I₀ = 0.2925

We know that an electric field contains energy. What causes the electric field itself?
Art [367]

Electrical charges on one or more particles within the field cause the electric field

Each point in space has an electric field associated with it when a charge of any kind is present. The value of E, often known as the electric field strength, electric field intensity, or just the electric field, expresses the strength and direction of the electric field

A region of space surrounding an electrically charged particle or object known as an electric field is one in which an electric charge would experience force. A vector quantity called an electric field can be represented by arrows pointing in the direction of or away from charges. The force per unit charge exerted on a positive test charge that is at rest at a given position is the force per unit charge that is used to define the electric field analytically.
