Three perfectly polarizing sheets are spaced 2?cm {\rm cm} apart and in parallel planes. The transmission axis of the second she

et is 28 ? \deg relative to the first one. The transmission axis of the third sheet is 90 ? ^\circ relative to the first one. Unpolarized light impinges on the first polarizing sheet.
What percent of this light is transmitted out through the third polarizer?

Answer:

I₃/Io % = 0.8.59

Explanation:

A polarizer is a complaint sheet for light in the polarization direction and blocks the perpendicular one. When we use two polarizers the transmission between them is described by Malus's law

      I = I₀ cos² θ

Let's apply the previous exposures in our case, the light is indicatively not polarized, so the first polarized lets half of the light pass

      I₁ = ½ I₀

The light transmitted by the second polarizer

     I₂ = I₁ cos²  θ

     I₂ = (½ I₀) cos2 28

The transmission by the polarizing  third is

     I₃ = I₂ cos²  θ₃    

The angle of the third polarizer with respect to the second is

     θ₃ = 90-28

      θ₃ = 62º

I₃ = (½ I₀ cos² 28 cos² 62)

Let's calculate

I₃ = Io ½ 0.7796 0.2204

I₃ = Io 0.0859

I₃/Io= 0.0859    100

I₃/Io % = 0.8.59

I need help in my physics class and show me how it’s done
Korolek [52]

If we have the angle and magnitude of a vector A we can find its Cartesian components using the following formula

A_x = |A|cos(\alpha)\\\\A_y = |A|sin(\alpha)

Where | A | is the magnitude of the vector and \alpha is the angle that it forms with the x axis in the opposite direction to the hands of the clock.

In this problem we know the value of Ax and Ay and we need the angle \alpha.

Vector A is in the 4th quadrant

So:

A_x = 6\\\\A_y = -6.5

So:

|A| = \sqrt{6^2 + (-6.5)^2}\\\\|A| = 8.846

So:

Ay = -6.5 = 8.846cos(\alpha)\\\\sin(\alpha) = \frac{-6.5}{8.846}\\\\sin(\alpha) = -0.7348\\\\\alpha = sin^{- 1}(- 0.7348)

\alpha = -47.28 ° +360° = 313 °

\alpha = 313 °

A ranger in a national park is driving at 56 km/h when a deer jumps onto the road 65 m ahead of the vehicle. After a reaction ti
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

 t = 1.58 s

Explanation:

given,

Speed of ranger, v = 56 km/h

                            v = 56 x 0.278 = 15.57 m/s

distance, d = 65 m

deceleration,a = 3 m/s²

reaction time = ?

using stopping distance formula

d = v. t + \dfrac{v^2}{2a}

t = \dfrac{d}{v} -\dfrac{v}{2a}

t is the reaction time

t = \dfrac{65}{15.57} -\dfrac{15.57}{2\times 3}

 t = 1.58 s

hence, the reaction time of the ranger is equal to 1.58 s.

If a 20 kg green fish swimming at 2 m/s swallows a 1 kg orange fish at rest, in what direction, and how fast
krok68 [10]

Answer: 1.9 m/s

Explanation:

The question should be:

If a 20 kg green fish swimming at 2 m/s swallows a 1 kg orange fish at rest, in what direction, and how fast  will the green fish swim after eating the orange fish?

Ok, here we have conservation of momentum.

At the beginning, the total momentum is equal to the sum between the momentum of the green fish and the momentum of the orange fish.

Where the momentum is written as:

P = m*v

m = mass

v = velocity.

The momentum of the green fish is:

Pg = 20kg*2m/s = 40 kg*m/s.

The momentum of the orange fish is:

Po = 1kg*0m/s = 0

The total initial momentum is:

Pi = Pg + Po = 40 kg*m/s.

After the green fish eats the orange fish, we do not have an orange fish anymore, and the mass of the green fish will be equal to it's initial mass, plus the mass of the fish that it ate, this will be:

M = 20kg + 1kg = 21kg.

Then the momentum will be:

Pf = 21kg*V

Where V is the final velocity.

For conservation of momentum, the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum, then:

Pi = Pf

40 kg*m/s = 21kg*V

(40/21) m/s = 1.9 m/s = V

The fish's final velocity is 1.9 m/s
