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:

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

If you put a object in front of the mirror why does it appear the opposite way
UNO [17]
It is because that is how mirrors work, they reflect light, and since we see objects because we are seeing the light these objects reflect, what is reflected back by the mirror is what we see.

An object with a mass of 10 kg is rolled down a frictionless ramp from a height of 3 meters. If a factory worker at the bottom o
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The amount of work the factory worker must to stop the rolling ramp is 294 joules

Explanation:

The object rolling down the frictionless ramp has the following parameters;

The mass of the object = 10 kg

The height from which the object is rolled = 3 meters

The work done by the factory worker to stop the rolling ramp = The initial potential energy, P.E., of the ramp

Where;

The potential energy P.E. = m × g × h

m = The mass of the ramp = 10 kg

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = The height from which the object rolls down = 3 m

Therefore, we have;

P.E. = 10 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 3 m = 294 Joules

The work done by the factory worker to stop the rolling ramp = P.E. = 294 joules

The total distance a group of movers move a refrigerator is 22 m. If they complete this task in 15 minutes, their efforts would
lianna [129]

Answer:

Their efforts would be expressed in units of Joules per second

Explanation:

The unit of their efforts can be derived from the formula of power which is given by the product of mass, acceleration and distance (the product is energy with unit joules) divided by time taken to complete the task (unit is seconds)

Therefore, the unit of their efforts would be joules per second
