Unpolarized light passes through three polarizing filters. The first one is oriented with a horizontal transmission axis, the se

cond filter has its transmission axis 31.8° from the horizontal, and the third one has a vertical transmission axis. What percent of the light gets through this combination of filters?

Answer:

10.028%

Explanation:

\theta = Angle between polarizer

The polarized light after passing through first polarizer

I=\frac{I_0}{2}

The polarized light after passing through second polarizer

I_2=\frac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta\\\Rightarrow I_2=\frac{I_0}{2}cos^231.8\\\Rightarrow I_2=0.36115I_0

The polarized light after passing through third polarizer

I_3=I_2cos^2(90-31.8)\\\Rightarrow I_3=0.36115I_0cos^2(90-31.8)\\\Rightarrow I_3=0.10028I_0

\frac{I_3}{I_0}\times 100=\frac{0.10028I_0}{I_0}\times 100\\ =10.028\ \%

The percent of the light gets through this combination of filters is 10.028%

A high diver dives into a swimming pool. His potential energy at the top is 10,000 J (relative to the surface of the pool). What
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Kinetic energy of diver at 90% of the distance to the water is 9000 J

Explanation:

Let d is the distance between the position of the diver and surface of the pool.

Initially, the diver is at rest and only have potential energy which is equal to 10000 J.

As the diver dives towards the pool, its potential energy is converting into kinetic energy due to law of conservation of energy, as total energy of the system remains same.

Energy before diving = Energy during diving

(Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy) =  (Kinetic Energy +  Potential Energy)

When the diver reaches 90% of the distance to the water, its kinetic energy

is 90% to its initial potential energy, as its initial kinetic is zero,i.e.,

K.E. = \frac{90}{100}\times10000

K.E. = 9000 J

To travel at constant speed, a car engine provides 24KW of useful power. The driving force on the car is 600N. At what speed doe
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The speed traveled by the car is 40 meter per second.

Explanation:

The formula for the relation between the power and the force is as follows:

P = Fv

Where F is the force and v is the speed.

As given

To travel at constant speed, a car engine provides 24KW of useful power. The driving force on the car is 600N.

F = 600 N

Convert power from KW to W.

1 KW = 1000 W

24 KW = 24 × 1000 W

           = 24000 W

Thus

P = 24000 W

Put these values in the formula.

24000 = 600 × v

24000 = 600v

v = \frac{24000}{600}

v = 40 meter per second .

Therefore the speed of the car is 40 meter per second .
