Unpolarizedlight of intensity I_0 is incident on three polarizingfilters. The axis of the first is vertical, that of the secondi

s 60.0 ^\circ from vertical, andthat of the third is horizontal.
What light intensityemerges from the third filter? (I0)

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the law of Malus which describe the intensity of light passing through a polarizer. Mathematically this law can be described as:

I = I_0 cos^2\theta

Where,

I_0 = Indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer

I = Resulting intensity

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

From the law of Malus when the light passes at a vertical angle through the first polarizer its intensity is reduced by half therefore

I_1= \frac{I_0}{2}

In the case of the second polarizer the angle is directly 60 degrees therefore

I_2 = I_1 cos^2\theta

I_2 = (\frac{I_0}{2} ) cos^2(60)

I_2 = 0.125I_0

In the case of the third polarizer, the angle is reflected on the perpendicular, therefore, its angle of index would be

\theta_3 = 90-60 = 30

Then,

I_3 = I_2 cos^2\theta_3

I_3 = 0.125I_0 cos^2 (30)

I_3 = 0.09375I_0

Then the intensity at the end of the polarized lenses will be equivalent to 0.09375 of the initial intensity.

On a snowy day, max (mass = 15 kg) pulls his little sister maya in a sled (combined mass = 20 kg) through the slippery snow. max
sesenic [268]

Work done by a given force is given by

W = F.d

here on sled two forces will do work

1. Applied force by Max

2. Frictional force due to ground

Now by force diagram of sled we can see the angle of force and displacement

work done by Max = W_1 = Fdcos\theta

W_1 = 12*5cos15

W_1 = 57.96 J

Now similarly work done by frictional force

W_2 = Fdcos\theta

W_2 = 4*5cos180

W_2= -20 J

Now total work done on sled

W_{net}= W_1 + W2

W_{net} = 57.96 - 20 = 37.96 J

Please help me with this question, especially the angle part. I have solved the initial velocity already. I don't know what to d
Helga [31]
I think you almost got it.

At the top, the velocity only has horizontal component, so v=12 m/s is v_x, which is v*cos(theta), because v_x is constant, so the same when it was launched or now.

With the value of the initial speed (28 m/s, which is the total speed), you can set

v_x = v * cos( theta ) ---> 12 = 28*cos(theta) --> cos(theta)=12/28=3/7

or theta = 64.62 deg, it is D. Think about it. I hope you see it.
