Unpolarized light with an intensity of 655 W / m2 is incident on a polarizer with an unknown axis. The light then passes through

a second polarizer with has an axis which makes an angle of 81.5° with the vertical. After the light passes through the second polarizer, its intensity has dropped to 163 W / m2. What angle does the first polarizer make with the vertical?

Answer:

1.\theta=29.84^{0}

2.\theta=60.15^{0}

Explanation:

Polarizes axis can create two possible angles with the vertical.

first we have to find the intensity of  first polarizer

which is given as

I=\frac{I_{0} }{2}

I= \frac{655\frac{W}{M^{2} } }{2}

I=327.5\frac{W}{m^{2} }

For a smaller angle for the first polarizer:

According to Malus Law

I_{2} =I_{1} Cos^{2}(90^{0} - \theta)

I_{2} =I_{1} sin^{2}\theta

\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} }=Sin^{2}\theta

taking square root on both sides

\sqrt{\frac{163}{327.5} } = sin\theta

\theta=Sin^{-1}(0.4977)

\theta=29.84^{0}

For a larger angle for the first polarizer:

According to Malus Law

I_{2} =I_{1} cos^{2}\theta

\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} }=Cos^{2}\theta

taking square root on both sides

\sqrt{\frac{163}{327.5} } = cos\theta

\theta=Cos^{-1}(0.4977)

\theta=60.15^{0}

If I have a picosecond laser how would that be expressed in terms of zeptoseconds? In terms of petaseconds?
kolbaska11 [484]
Picosecond = 10 ^ -12 seconds.
Zeptosecond = 10^ -18 seconsds
Petaseonds  =  10^15  seconds

To express Picoseconds into any of other two, you have to divide  10^-12 by the power index of the one in question

1Picosecond :   10^-12  /  10^-18 =    10^ (-12- 18) =  10^ (-12+18)= 10^6  zeptoseconds

1Picosecond :   10^-12  /  10^15 =    10^ (-12-15) =  10^-27  Petaseconds.

1Picosecond = 10^6  zeptoseconds

1Picosecond = 10^-27  Petaseconds

SP: Calculate the moment
ipn [44]

Answer:

Moment of the force is 20 N-m.

Explanation:

Given:

Force exerted by the person is, F=80\ N

Distance of application of force from the point about which moment is needed is, d=25\ cm=\frac{25}{100}\ m=0.25\ m

Now, we know that, moment of a force 'F' about a point at a perpendicular distance of 'd' from the same point is given as the product of the force and the perpendicular distance.

Therefore, the moment of the force about the end of the claw hammer is given as:

M=F\times d\\\\M=(80\ N)(0.25\ m)\\\\M=20\textrm{ N-m}

Hence, the moment of the force exerted by the person about the end of the claw hammer is 20 N-m.

If a cart of 10 kg mass has a force of 5 newtons exerted on it, what is its acceleration? m/s2
Elza [17]

Answer:

= 0.5 m/s²

Explanation:

  • According to Newton's second law of motion, the resultant force is directly proportion to the rate of change of linear momentum.

Therefore;<em> F = ma , where F is the Force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.</em>

<em>Thus; a = F/m</em>

<em>but; F = 5 N, and m = 10 kg</em>

<em>  a = 5 /10</em>

    <u>= 0.5 m/s²</u>

Why don’t metals break when hit with hammer
Verizon [17]

Because metallic bonds involve all of the metal atoms in a piece of metal sharing all of their valence electrons with "delocalized" bonds.
