Answer:

a.0.5 Io

Explanation:

The fraction of light passing through the first polarizer will be

I_1=\frac{I_0}{2}=0.5I_0

The fraction of light passing through the second polarizer will be

I_2=0.5I_0cos^2\theta

where

\theta = Angle between the filters

here, as the transmission directions are parallel to one another

\theta=0

I_2=0.5I_0cos^20\\\Rightarrow I_2=0.5I_0\\\Rightarrow I_2=I_1

Hence, 0.5I_0 will pass through both filters

D^2 = p^2 + q^2  - 2 pq cos D

d^2 = (4.24)^2 + (4.24)^2  - 2. (4.24) (4.24) cos 68

d^2 = 2 (4.24)^2 -  2. (4.24) (4.24) cos 68

d = 4.74

so the answer will be letter. C

hope this helps

A mass of 4kg suspended by a light string 2m long and at rest is projected horizontally with a velocity of 1.5 m/s. find the ang
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

19.5°

Explanation:

The energy of the mass must be conserved. The energy is given by:

1) E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh

where m is the mass, v is the velocity and h is the hight of the mass.

Let the height at the lowest point of the be h=0, the energy of the mass will be:

2) E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

The energy when the mass comes to a stop will be:

3) E=mgh

Setting equations 2 and 3 equal and solving for height h will give:

4) h=\frac{v^2}{2g}

The angle ∅ of the string with the vertical with the mass at the highest point will be given by:

5) cos\phi=\frac{l-h}{l}

where l is the lenght of the string.

Combining equations 4 and 5 and solving for ∅:

6) \phi={cos}^{-1}(\frac{l-h}{l})={cos}^{-1}(1-\frac{h}{l})={cos}^{-1}(1-\frac{v^2}{2gl})
