Answer:

d. 3332.5 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will use newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

Here we have two forces, the force that pushes the car to move forward and the friction force.

The friction force is equal to the product of the normal force by the coefficient of friction.

f = N * μ

f = (m*g) * μ

where:

N = weight of the car = 2150*9.81 = 21091.5 [N]

μ = 0.25

f = (21091.5) * 0.25

f = 5273 [N]

Now as the car is moving forward, the car wheels move clockwise. The friction force between the wheels of the car and the pavement must be counterclockwise, i.e. counterclockwise. Therefore the direction of this force is forward. This way we have:

F + f = m*a

F + 5273 = 2150*4

F = 8600 - 5273

F = 3327 [N]

Therefore the answer is d.

A vertically polarized beam of light of intensity 100 W/m2 passes through two ideal polarizers. The transmission axis of the fir
TEA [102]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the Malus Law. Malus's law indicates that the intensity of a linearly polarized beam of light, which passes through a perfect analyzer with a vertical optical axis is equivalent to:

I=I_0 cos^2\theta

Where,

I_ {0} indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer,

I is the resulting intensity, and

\theta indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light.

Since we have two objects the law would be,

I=I_0cos^2\theta_1*cos^2(\theta_2-\theta_1)

Replacing the values,

I=100*cos^2(20)*cos^2(40-20)

I=100*cos^4(20)

I=77.91W/m^2

Therefore the intesity of the light after it has passes through both polarizers is 77.91W/m^2

What is it that makes a magnet different from a piece of iron that is not mangetic?​
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Under normal conditions, a magnetic material like iron doesn't behave like a magnet because the domains don't have a preferred direction of alignment. On the other hand, the domains of a magnet (or a magnetized iron) are all aligned in s specific direction.
