algol [13]3 years ago

Answer:

   θ  = 45º

Explanation:

The light that falls on the second polarized is polarized, therefore it is governed by the law of Maluz

              I = I₀ cos² θ

in the problem they ask us

            I = ½ I₀

let's look for the angles

             ½ I₀ = I₀ cos² θ

             cos θ  = √ ½ = 0.707

            θ  = cos 0.707

           θ  = 45º

How much heat does a freezer need to remove from 1kg of water at 40°C to make ice at 0°C? (You will need to use the specific hea
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

Explanation:

Q = m c Δt

heat withdrawn to lower temperature by 40° C

Q = 1 X 1000 X 40 = 40,000 calories.

Q = mL

heat withdrawn to freeze water at 0°C to ice

= 1 x 80000 = 80,000 calories

total heat to be withdrawn = 120,000 calories. = 120,000 x 4.2 = 504 ,000 Joules.

OLga [1]
<span>To find the gravitational potential energy of an object, we can use this equation: GPE = mgh m is the mass of the object in kg g = 9.80 m/s^2 h is the height of the object in meters GPE = mgh GPE = (0.700 kg) (9.80 m/s^2) (1.5 m) GPE = 10.3 J The gravitational potential energy of this can is 10.3 J</span>

When a snowball turns into a puddle of
In-s [12.5K]

When a snowball turns into a puddle of water, we know that (the snow ball gains energy and changes from a solid to liquid).

This is correct due to the fact that particles of the snowball are gaining speed and so it is heating up, when the solid's temperature reaches the melting point, it will become a liquid.

Therefore, D is the correct answer.
