What angle is needed between the direction of polarized light and the axis of a polarizing filter to cut its intensity in half?

Physics

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

A bowling ball with a momentum of 18kg-m/s strikes a stationary bowling pin. After the collision, the ball has a momentum of 13k
Veronika [31]

Answer:

14.98\ \text{kg m/s}

45.26^{\circ}

Explanation:

P_1 = Initial momentum of the pin = 13 kg m/s

P_i = Initial momentum of the ball = 18 kg m/s

P_2 = Momentum of the ball after hit

55^{\circ} = Angle ball makes with the horizontal after hitting the pin

\theta = Angle the pin makes with the horizotal after getting hit by the ball

Momentum in the x direction

P_i=P_1\cos55^{\circ}+P_2\cos\theta\\\Rightarrow P_2\cos\theta=P_i-P_1\cos55^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow P_2\cos\theta=18-13\cos55^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow P_2\cos\theta=10.54\ \text{kg m/s}

Momentum in the y direction

P_1\sin55=P_2\sin\theta\\\Rightarrow P_2\sin\theta=13\sin55^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow P_2\sin\theta=10.64\ \text{kg m/s}

(P_2\cos\theta)^2+(P_2\sin\theta)^2=P_2^2\\\Rightarrow P_2=\sqrt{10.54^2+10.64^2}\\\Rightarrow P_2=14.98\ \text{kg m/s}

The pin's resultant velocity is 14.98\ \text{kg m/s}

P_2\sin\theta=10.64\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\dfrac{10.64}{14.98}\\\Rightarrow \theta=45.26^{\circ}

The pin's resultant direction is 45.26^{\circ} below the horizontal or to the right.

Se colocan tres objetos, muy cerca uno del otro, dos al mismo tiempo. Cuando se juntan los objetos A y B, se repelen. Cuando se
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Los objetos A y C tienen cargas del mismo signo (opcion a)

Explanation:

Hay dos tipos de cargas : cargas positivas y cargas negativas.

La Ley de Coulomb dice que la fuerza electrostática entre dos cargas puntuales es proporcional al producto de las cargas e inversamente proporcional al cuadrado de la distancia que las separa, y tiene la dirección de la línea que las une y se cumple que:

  • La fuerza ejercida sobre una carga apunta hacia la otra cuando las dos tienen distinto signo (fuerza atractiva).
  • El sentido de la fuerza se dirige hacia el lado opuesto de la carga cuando ambas tienen el mismo signo (fuerza repulsiva).

Es decir que las cargas de igual signo se repelen, mientras que las de diferente signo se atraen.

Entonces, si se juntan los objetos A y B y se repelen significa que la carga es del mismo signo.

Cuando se acercan los objetos B y C, se repelen. Entonces significa que posee carga de igual signo.

Por lo que podes concluir que <u><em>los objetos A y C tienen cargas del mismo signo (opcion a)</em></u>

What happens if a mid-ocean ridge occurs on land
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Despite being such prominent feature on our planet, much of the mid-ocean ridge system remains a mystery. While we have mapped about half of the global mid-ocean ridge in high resolution, less than one percent of the mid-ocean ridge has been explored in detail using submersibles or remotely operated vehicles. so therefore we do not have enough information about them to know what will happen

Explanation:

A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary. Mid-ocean ridges occur along divergent plate boundaries, where new ocean floor is created as the Earth’s tectonic plates spread apart. As the plates separate, molten rock rises to the seafloor, producing enormous volcanic eruptions of basalt. The speed of spreading affects the shape of a ridge  slower spreading rates result in steep, irregular topography while faster spreading rates produce much wider profiles and more gentle slopes.
