Answer:

8 signals received by twin A during the trip.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 12 light year

Speed = 0.6 c

Time = 1 year

We need to calculate the time by A

Using formula of time

T=t\sqrt{\dfrac{1+\dfrac{v}{c}}{1-\dfrac{v}{c}}}

Put the value into the formula

T=1\sqrt{\dfrac{1+0.6}{1-0.6}}

T=2\ years

Similarly,

The expression for distance cover by A

D=d\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}

D=12\sqrt{1-(0.6)^2}

D=9.6\ ly

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of time

t=\dfrac{D}{v}

t=\dfrac{9.6}{0.6}

t=16\ years

We need to calculate the signals received by twin A

Using formula for number of signals

n=\dfrac{t}{T}

Put the value into the formula

n=\dfrac{16}{2}

n=8\ signals

Hence, 8 signals received by twin A during the trip.

Unpolarized light passes through two polarizers whose transmission axes are at an angle # with respect to each other. What shoul
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

63.4^{\circ}

Explanation:

When unpolarized light passes through the first polarizer, the intensity of the light is reduced by a factor 1/2, so

I_1 = \frac{1}{2}I_0 (1)

where I_0 is the intensity of the initial unpolarized light, while I_1 is the intensity of the polarized light coming out from the first filter. Light that comes out from the first polarizer is also polarized, in the same direction as the axis of the first polarizer.

When the (now polarized) light hits the second polarizer, whose axis of polarization is rotated by an angle \theta with respect to the first one, the intensity of the light coming out is

I_2 = I_1 cos^2 \theta (2)

If we combine (1) and (2) together,

I_2 = \frac{1}{2}I_0 cos^2 \theta (3)

We want the final intensity to be 1/10 the initial intensity, so

I_2 = \frac{1}{10}I_0

So we can rewrite (3) as

\frac{1}{10}I_0 =  \frac{1}{2}I_0 cos^2 \theta

From which we find

cos^2 \theta = \frac{1}{5}

cos \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}

\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}})=63.4^{\circ}

A 10 kg brick and a 1 kg book are dropped in a vacuum. The force of gravity on the 10 kg brick is what?
Nadya [2.5K]
<span>10 times as much. Since F=m*a, and a is constant, the only thing that affects force is the mass.

In response to the below answer, the acceleration due to gravity does not change. The force due to gravity definitely DOES change depending on the mass of the object. Since the force is what the problem asks for, the answer is 10</span>
