The direction of its displacement wil be

c.northeast

In fact, the dog walks north for 10 meters and east for another 10 meters. The path of the dog can be represented with two vectors, A pointing north (of magnitude 10 meters) and B pointing east (of magnitude 10 meters). The direction of the resultant vector (due to east) will be given by

$tan \theta =\frac{A}{B}=\frac{10}{10}=1$

$\theta=tan^{-1} (1)=45^{\circ}$

and the direction will be north-east.

Unpolarized light with an average intensity of 845 W/m2 enters a polarizer with a vertical transmission axis. The transmitted li

The concept to develop this problem is the Law of Malus. Which describes what happens with the light intensity once it passes through a polarized material.

Mathematically this can be expressed as

$I = I_0 cos^2\theta$

Where

I = New intensity after pass through the Polarizer

$I_0$ = Original intensity

$\theta$ = Indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light.

When the light passes perpendicularly through the first polarizer, the light intensity is reduced by half which will cause the intensity to be $225W / m ^ 2$ at the output of the new polarizer, mathematically:
