Joaquin mows the lawn at his grandmother’s home during the summer months. Joaquin measured the

Velocity is define as how fast an object is moving, and in what direction, it is a vector quantity, meaning velocity has both magnitude and direction. Anything goes to the left is negative, and anything goes to the right is positive.

a. Direction from east to west, given distance 11.5 meters, and time of 7.10 s

V = displacement/time V = -11.5/7.10 S V = -1.62 m/s (going left)

b. Joaquin reaches his original position. Displacement is now zero.

Velocity of the lawnmower is equal to "zero" but if we calculate for the average speed of the lawn, you just have to add the distance covered and the time it take to go back at the original position or point of origin

Two Polaroids are aligned so that the initially unpolarized light passing through them is a maximum. At what angle should one of

steposvetlana [31]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the law of Malus which describes the change in the Intensity of Light when it crosses a polarized surface.

Mathematically the expression is given as

$I = I_0 cos^2\theta$
