Unpolarized light of intensity I0 = 950 W/m2 is incident upon two polarizers. The first has its polarizing axis vertical, and th

e axis of the second is rotated θ = 65° from the vertical.
Required:
a. What is the intensity of the light after it passes through the first polarizer in W/m2?
b. What is the intensity of the light after it passes through the second polarizer in W/m2?

Answer:

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = 425 W/m²

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = 75.905 W/m²

Explanation:

Given:

Unpolarized light of intensity (I₀) = 950 W/m²

θ = 65°

Find:

a. Intensity of the light (first polarizer)

b. Intensity of the light (second polarizer)

Computation:

a. Intensity of the light (first polarizer)

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = I₀ / 2

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = 950 / 2

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = 425 W/m²

b. Intensity of the light (second polarizer)

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = (I₁)cos²θ

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = (425)(0.1786)

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = 75.905 W/m²

a wrench weighs 5.24 newtons on earth. when it is taken to the Moon, where g =1.16 m/s2 how much does it weigh?

Andrew [12]

“Weight of the wrench” on “the moon” is “6.07 kg”.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Weight of the wrench is 5.24 N

Weight of the wrench in kilograms = W × g

Taken “g” on the moon is $1.16 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

$=5.24 \mathrm{N} \times 9.81 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}=51.352 \mathrm{kg}$

Weight of the wrench in kilograms is 51.352 kg.

Formula to calculate weight of the object on the moon is

$\frac{\text {weight of the object on earth}}{9.81 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}} \times 1.16 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

Substitute the values given,

$=\frac{51.352 \mathrm{kg}}{9.81 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}} \times 1.16 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

$=5.234 \times 1.16$

= 6.07 kg

Therefore, weight of the wrench on the moon is 6.07 kg.

State newton's universal law of gravitation

Lorico [155]

Every particle of mass is attracted to every other particle of mass. The magnitude of the force between two objects is proportional to the product of their masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The direction of the force is along the line between their centers.

(NOTE: Newton's 3rd law of motion tells us that gravitational forces always come in pairs. Between two objects, there are two forces ... one in each direction. Their strengths are equal ... Your weight on Earth is exactly equal to the Earth's weight on YOU.)

An astronaut standing on a platform on the moon drops a hammer. if the hammer falls 6.0 meters vertically in 2.7 seconds, what i

Amanda [17]

The distance that is traveled by the astronaut given that the motion is free-fall can be calculated through the equation,

d = Vot + 0.5at²

where d is the distance, Vo is the initial velocity, t is the time, and a is the acceleration. Substituting the known,

6 = (0 m/s)(2.7 s) + 0.5(a)(2.7 s)²

Determining the value of a,
a = 1.646 m/s²

ANSWER: 1.646 m/s²
