Answer:

0.5

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

The angle between their transmission axes, θ = 60°

Now,

We have the relation,

I₁ = I₀cos²θ

where,

I₁ is the intensity of the transmitted light

I₀ is the intensity of the incident light

on rearranging, we get

\frac{I_1}{I_0}=cos²60°

or

\frac{I_1}{I_0}=0.5

Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

Let I₀ be the intensity of polarised light from first polariser . After first polarisation, in the second polarisation, intensity changes as follows

I = I₀  Cos² θ⁰

I = I₀  Cos² 60⁰

=  I₀  1 / 2² = I₀ / 4

So , 1/4 or one fourth of intensity from first polariser gets through the second polariser.

(1 point) A projectile is fired from ground level with an initial speed of 600 m/sec and an angle of elevation of 30 degrees. Us
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

(a) The range of the projectile is 31,813.18 m

(b) The maximum height of the projectile is 4,591.84 m

(c) The speed with which the projectile hits the ground is 670.82 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial speed of the projectile, u = 600 m/s

angle of projection, θ = 30⁰

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

(a) The range of the projectile in meters;

R = \frac{u^2sin \ 2\theta}{g} \\\\R = \frac{600^2 sin(2\times 30^0)}{9.8} \\\\R = \frac{600^2 sin (60^0)}{9.8} \\\\R = 31,813.18 \ m

(b) The maximum height of the projectile in meters;

H = \frac{u^2 sin^2\theta}{2g} \\\\H = \frac{600^2 (sin \ 30)^2}{2\times 9.8} \\\\H = \frac{600^2 (0.5)^2}{19.6} \\\\H = 4,591.84 \ m

(c) The speed with which the projectile hits the ground is;

v^2 = u^2 + 2gh\\\\v^2 = 600^2 + (2 \times 9.8)(4,591.84)\\\\v^2 = 360,000 + 90,000.064\\\\v = \sqrt{450,000.064} \\\\v = 670.82 \ m/s

Marysya12 [62]
From the law of conservation of momentum
m1u1+ m2u2= m1v1+ m2v2
110*8+ 110*-10= 110*-10 + 110* v2
v2= 8 m/sec
