Complete  Question

At what angle should the axes of two Polaroids be placed so as to reduce the intensity of the incident unpolarized light to 1/5.

Answer:

The  angle is  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The light emerging from second Polaroid is 1/5 the  unpolarized

Generally the intensity of light emerging from the first Polaroid is mathematically represented as

             I_1 = \frac{I_o}{ 2 }

Generally from the Malus law the intensity of light emerging from the second Polaroid  is mathematically represented

      I_2  =  I_1 cos^2 (\theta )

=>   cos^2 (\theta ) =  \frac{I_2}{I_1 }

=>   cos (\theta) =  \sqrt{ \frac{I_2}{I_1} }

From the question I_2  =  \frac{I_o}{5}

     cos (\theta) =  \sqrt{ \frac{ \frac{ I_o}{5} }{\frac{I_o}{2} } }

     cos (\theta) =  \sqrt{ \frac{2}{5} }

=>    \theta =   cos ^{-1} [\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}  ]

=>    \theta  =  50.77^o

Does gravity affect your weight???
Degger [83]
Weight is a force caused by gravity. The weight of an object is the gravitational force between the object and the Earth. The more mass the object has the greater its weight will be.

Q12. How much force is applied on the body when 150 joule of work
ra1l [238]

Force = Work/distance

Force = 150/10

          =  15 Newtons

Force = 15 Newtons

Therefore, 15 newtons of force is applied to the body when 150 joules of work

is done in displacing the body through a distance of 10m in the  direction of the force.

A single loop of wire with an area of 0.0780 m2 is in a uniform magnetic field that has an initial value of 3.80 T, is perpendic
Katarina [22]

Answer:

The induced current is 26.7 mA

Explanation:

Given;

area of the loop, A = 0.078 m²

initial magnetic field, B₁ = 3.8 T

change in the magnetic field strength, dB/dt = 0.24 T/s

The induced emf is calculated as;

emf = - \frac{d \phi}{dt} \\\\emf = -\frac{dB.A}{dt} \\\\emf = A (\frac{dB}{dt} )\\\\emf = 0.078(0.24)\\\\emf = 0.0187 \ V

The resistance of the loop = 0.7 Ω

The induced current is calculated as;

V = IR\\\\I = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{emf}{R} = \frac{0.0187}{0.7} = 0.0267 \ A = 26.7 \ mA

A 1000-kg whale swims horizontally to the right at a speed of 6.0 m/s. It suddenly collides directly with a stationary seal of m
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Momentum after collision will be 6000 kgm/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the whale = 1000

Initial velocity v = 6 m/sec

It collides with other mass of 200 kg which is at stationary

Initial momentum of the whale = 1000×6 = 6000 kgm/sec

We have to find the momentum after collision

From conservation of momentum

Initial momentum = final momentum

So final momentum = 6000 kgm/sec
