The process you're fishing for is "polarization", but that's a

misleading description.

Polarization doesn't do anything to change the light waves.

It simply filters out (absorbs, as with a polarizing filter) the

light waves that aren't vibrating in the desired plane, and

allows only those that are to pass.

The intensity of a light beam is always reduced after

polarizing it, because much (most) of the original light

has been removed.

A laser light source may be thought of as an exception,

since everything coming out of the laser is polarized.

A vector points -43.0 units

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

To find the direction of this vector we need o find the angle that has a tangent of the y-component over the x-component:

$tan^{-1}(\frac{11.1}{-43.0})=-14.5$ but since we are in Q2 we have to add 180 degrees to that angle giving us 165.5 degrees

To minimize neutron leakage from a reactor, the ratio of the surface area to the volume should be a minimum. For a given volume V the ratio of the sphere will be $\frac{4.83598}{c^{\frac{1}{3} } }$ .

We know that the surface area and volume of the sphere is given by:

$A=4 \pi r^{2}\\V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

Therefore, the ratio between the surface area and the volume for the sphere will be:

$\frac{A}{V}=\frac{4 \pi r^{2}\\}{\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}}=\frac{3}{r}$

Equating the volume to the constant c, we will find the value of $r$ .

$V=c=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}\\r= (\frac{3c}{4\pi} )^{\frac{1}{3} }$

Substituting the value of r in the ration between surface area and volume, we get:

$\frac{A}{V}=\frac{3}{ (\frac{3c}{4\pi} )^{\frac{1}{3} }}$

Calculating the constants, we get:

$\frac{4.83598}{c^{\frac{1}{3} } }$

Hence, the ration between surface area and volume is $\frac{4.83598}{c^{\frac{1}{3} } }$

If you hold your hand over a pot of boiling water, it feels hot. Explain how the boiling water is transforming heat to your hand

MakcuM [25]

I don't no if this helps but the body heat from your hand causes the liquid to boil, which in turn makes the liquid evaporate, turning it to gas. The expanding gas pushes the liquid upwards and when you release your hand, equilibrium is re-established.

A B C D Plz help me.

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The correct option is;

${}$ Man doing most work ${}$ Box gaining the most energy

D ${}$ Y Q

Explanation:

The given parameters of the question are;

The distance the box P is pushed by the Man X = 0

The force the Man X applies to the box P = x N

The distance the box Q is lifted by the Man Y = h > 0 meters

The minimum force the Man Y applies to the box Q = W, the weight of the box

Work done = Force × Distance

Energy gained = Potential energy + Kinetic Energy = (Mass × Gravity × Height = Weight × Height = W × h) + 1/2 × Mass × Velocity²

The final velocity of either box = 0 m/s (The boxes are at rest on the ground or the shelf)

Therefore, Kinetic energy = 0 J

The work done by Man X = 0 × x = 0 J

The energy gained by the box P = W × 0 = 0 J

The work done by Man Y = W × h = W·h J

The energy gained by the box P = W × h = W·h J

We have, the work done by the man Y = W·h J is more than the work done by the man X = 0 J

The energy gained by the box P = W·h J is more than the energy gained by the box Q = 0 J

Therefore, the correct option is D, Man doing the most work is Y, box gaining the most energy is Q.
