A vertically polarized beam of light of intensity 100 W/m2 passes through two ideal polarizers. The transmission axis of the fir

TEA [102]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the Malus Law. Malus's law indicates that the intensity of a linearly polarized beam of light, which passes through a perfect analyzer with a vertical optical axis is equivalent to:

$I=I_0 cos^2\theta$

Where,

$I_ {0}$ indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer,

I is the resulting intensity, and

$\theta$ indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light.

Since we have two objects the law would be,

$I=I_0cos^2\theta_1*cos^2(\theta_2-\theta_1)$

Replacing the values,

$I=100*cos^2(20)*cos^2(40-20)$

$I=100*cos^4(20)$

$I=77.91W/m^2$

Therefore the intesity of the light after it has passes through both polarizers is $77.91W/m^2$

Human-Powered Flight Human-powered aircraft require a pilot to pedal, as in a bicycle, and produce a sustained power output of a

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

# of Snickers bars 2

Explanation:

Power output= 0.30 HP

=0.3*746

= 0.30 HP (746 W=1.00 HP)

= 224 W

time required 2 h 49 m = 10140 seconds

Since power is work divided by time, then work is:

Work done by the jet = P*t

= 224 *(10140)

= 2.3 MJ (2.3 x $10^{6}$ J)

Converting MJ to Cal

2.3 MJ=549 Cal

# of Snickers bars = 549 Cal / 280 Cal

= 2.0 bars (rounded from 1.96)

A missile is launched vertically from a missile silo, it will explode after 32 s. It's launch speed was 145 m/s, and it doesn't

Karolina [17]

Answer:

Landed before it explodes

Explanation:

vf = vi + at,

0 = 145 - (9.8)t,

t = 14.79 s (Time to reach highest point)

14.79 x 2 = 29.59 s (Time to land on the ground)

It will have landed before it explodes because both the time to reach the highest point and the time to land on the ground are less than 32 seconds.

A roller coaster car rapidly picks up speed as it rolls down a slope as it starts down the slope its speed is 4m/s but 3 seconds

Gwar [14]

Answer:

The acceleration is 6 [m/s^2]

Explanation:

We can find the acceleration of the roller coaster using the kinematic equation for uniformly accelerated motion.

$v_{f} =v_{i} + a*t\\where:\\v_{f} = final velocity = 22 [m/s]\\v_{i} = initial velocity = 4 [m/s]\\t = time = 3 [s]\\$

Now replacing the values we have:

$a=\frac{v_{f} - v_{i} }{t} \\a=\frac{22 - 4 }{3}\\a = 6 [m/s^{2} ]$
