Answer:

45 degree

Explanation:

Let the initial intensity is Io and the angle between the polarizer and the axis of filter is θ.

The intensity of light passing after filter is 0.5 Io.

By using the law of Malus,

$I=I_{0} Cos^{2}\theta$

$0.5I_{0}=I_{0} Cos^{2}\theta$

$0.5= Cos^{2}\theta$

$0.707= Cos\theta$

θ = 45 degree

What is the affect of applying an unbalanced force on an object?

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

An unbalanced force can change an object's motion. An unbalanced force acting on a still object could make the object start moving. An unbalanced force acting on a moving object could make the object change direction, change speed, or stop moving

A rigid, insulated tank that is initially evacuated is connected though a valve to a supply line that carries steam at 1 MPa and

meriva

Answer:

Final Temperature of the steam tank = 456.4°C

Explanation:

Assuming it to be a uniform flow process, kinetic and potential energy to be zero, and work done and heat input to be zero also. We can conclude that,

Enthalpy of the steam in pipe = Internal Energy of the steam in tank

Using the Property tables and Charts - Steam tables,

At Pressure= 1 MPa and Temperature= 300°C,

Enthalpy = 3051.2 kJ/kg

At Pressure= 1 MPa and Internal Energy= 3051.2 kJ/kg,

Temperature = 456.4°C.

A pitcher delivers a fast ball with a velocity of 43 m/s to the south. the batter hits the ball and gives it a velocity of 51 m/

hoa [83]

Assuming north as positive direction, the initial and final velocities of the ball are:
$v_i=-43 m/s$ (with negative sign since it is due south)
$v_f=+51 m/s$
the time taken is $t=1.0 ms=0.001 s$ , so the average acceleration of the ball is given by
$a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{t}= \frac{51 m/s-(-43 m/s)}{0.001 s}=9.4 \cdot 10^4 m/s^2$
And the positive sign tells us the direction of the acceleration is north.
