Answer: As per the question, a ray of light is incident on a surface and it is partly reflected and refracted. The incident light is an unpolarised light. The reflected light is partially polarised.

If the angle of incidence becomes equal to the Brester angle (polarising angle), then the reflected light is completely plane polarised.

The incident ray is a ray that hits the surface of the water. A reflected ray will always correspond to the incident ray and it is the light that is reflected by the surface of the water. Meaning, all rays that hit are incident rays, however, some are reflected rays.

A dumbbell-shaped object is composed by two equal masses, m, connected by a rod of negligible mass and length r. If I_1 is the m
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

I2>I1

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using the parallel axis theorem. If the axis of rotation of a rigid body (with moment of inertia I1 at its center of mass) is changed, then, the new moment of inertia is gven by:

I_2=I_{1}+Md^2

where M is the mass of the object and d is the distance of the new axis to the axis of the center of mass.

It is clear that I2 is greater than I1 by the contribution of the term Md^2.

I2>I1

hope this helps!!

In which of the following cases is work being done on an object? Question 2 options: Pulling a trailer up a hill Carrying a box
Taya2010 [7]

Work is done when a force acts on an object AND the object moves in the direction of the force.

-- <em>Pulling a trailer up a hill.  YES. </em> The trailer is moving in the direction of the pulling force.  

-- Carrying a box down a corridor.  No. The box is not moving in the direction of gravity (down) OR in the direction of your arm (down the corridor).

-- Suspending a heavy weight with a strong chain,  No.  There's a force (gravity) acting on the weight, but the weight is not moving at all.

-- Pushing against a locked door.  No.  There's a force (your muscles) acting on the door, but he door is not moving at all.

A hot-air balloon is descending at a rate of 2.3 m&gt;s when a pas- senger drops a camera. If the camera is 41 m above the groun
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

a) t = 2.64s

b) Vf = -28.7m/s

Explanation:

If the balloon is descending, the velocity is -2.3m/s. So the equation to describe the postion of the falling camera is:

Y = Vo*t - \frac{g*t^{2}}{2}

-41 = -2.3*t - \frac{10*t^{2}}{2}    Solving for t, we get:

t1 = -3.1s     and      t2 = 2.64s We discard the negative time and use the positive one.

The velocity of the camera will be:

Vf = Vo - g*t = -2.3 - 10*2.64 = -28.7m/s
