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

if you push your chair across the floor at a constant velocity how does the force of friction compare with the force you exert?
Alik [6]
-- If velocity is constant, then there is no net force
on the chair.

-- If there is no net force on the chair, then friction
must exactly balance out your push.

-- The force of friction is exactly equal in magnitude
to your push, and in exactly the opposite direction.

Which example identifies a change in motion that produces acceleration?
kifflom [539]
Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity. It defines how much the velocity is changing. The acceleration can be negative and positive. Negative acceleration is when the object slows down, while positive while the object goes faster.
<span>A ball moving at a constant speed around a circular track produces acceleration. </span>

How can the density of irregularly shaped objects can be calculated?
Aleks04 [339]
1.Use the balance to find the mass of the object. Record the value on the "Density Data Chart."
2.Pour water into a graduated cylinder up to an easily-read value, such as 50 milliliters and record the number.
3.Drop the object into the cylinder and record the new value in millimeters.
4.The difference between the two numbers is the object's volume. Remember that 1 milliliter is equal to 1 cubic centimeter. Record the volume on the data chart.
5.Compute the density of the object by dividing the mass value by the volume value. Record the density on the data chart.
