Answer: This should be a huge help in ur answer...

Explanation: potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors and kinetic energy is energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.

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

Norma-Jean [14]

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

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

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

$\theta=60.15^{0}$

Suppose you throw a baseball downward from a roof so that it initially has 120 J of gravitational potential energy, and 10 J of

Volgvan

Answer:

It will be greater than 10 J.

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of an object is the sum of its potential energy (PE) and its kinetic energy (KE):

E = PE + KE

According to the law of conservation of energy, when there are no frictional forces on an object, its mechanical energy is conserved.

The potential energy PE is the energy due to the position of the object: the highest the object above the ground, the highest its PE.

The kinetic energy KE is the energy due to the motion of the object: the highest its speed, the largest its KE.

Here at the beginning, when it is at the top of the roof, the baseball has:

PE = 120 J

KE = 10 J

So the total energy is

E = 120 + 10 = 130 J

As the ball falls down, its potential energy decreases, since its height decreases; as a result, since the total energy must remain constant, its kinetic energy increases (as its speed increases).

Therefore, when the ball reaches the ground, its kinetic energy must be greater than 10 J.
