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

Answer:

onservation of energy

U top = K bottom

(m + m)*g*L = 1/2*I*?^2 where I = m*(L/2)^2 + m*L^2 = 1.25*m*L^2

So 2m*g*L = 1/2*1.25*m*L^2*?^2

So ? = sqrt(3*g*/(1.25*L) ) = sqrt(12g/5L)

An object of irregular shape has a characteristic length of L = 0.5 m and is maintained at a uniform surface temperature of Ts =

goblinko [34]

Answer:

The value of the average convection coefficient is 20 W/Km².

Explanation:

Given that,

For first object,

Characteristic length = 0.5 m

Surface temperature = 400 K

Atmospheric temperature = 300 K

Velocity = 25 m/s

Air velocity = 5 m/s

Characteristic length of second object = 2.5 m

We have same shape and density of both objects so the reynold number will be same,

We need to calculate the value of the average convection coefficient

Using formula of reynold number for both objects

$R_{1}=R_{2}$

$\dfrac{u_{1}L_{1}}{\eta_{1}}=\dfrac{u_{2}L_{2}}{\eta_{2}}$

$\dfrac{h_{1}L_{1}}{k_{1}}=\dfrac{h_{2}L_{2}}{k_{2}}$

Here, $k_{1}=k_{2}$

$h_{2}=h_{1}\times\dfrac{L_{1}}{L_{2}}$

$h_{2}=\dfrac{q}{T_{2}-T_{1}}\times\dfrac{L_{1}}{L_{2}}$

Put the value into the formula

$h_{2}=\dfrac{10000}{400-300}\times\dfrac{0.5}{2.5}$

$h_{2}=20\ W/Km^2$

Hence, The value of the average convection coefficient is 20 W/Km².
