Answer: If the second polarizing filter is rotated by 45°, only the component (parts of the light beam) of the light parallel to the second filter’s axis is passed.

Explanation: Polarization is the process of converting unpolarized light to polarized light.

Polarized light waves are light waves travel in a single plane.

If two polarizing filters are applied to a light wave,

-If the axes of the first and second filters are aligned in a parallel form, it would cause all of the polarized light passed by the first filter to also pass by the second.

- If the second polarizing filter is rotated by an angle of about 45°, only the parts of the light beam parallel to the second filter’s axis is passed.

- When the axes of the polarization filter are perpendicular, no light is passed by the second filter.

What is the average speed of an object with a total distance traveled of 45 meters in 50 seconds
Anettt [7]

Answer: 0.9m/s

Explanation:

Use equation for speed:

V=S/t

S-distance; S=45m

t-time; t=50 s

V=S/t

V=45m/50s

V=0.9 m/s

A rock is dropped into the Grand Canyon. It takes 18 seconds to hit the bottom. Calculate how deep the canyon is.
bonufazy [111]
The distance it falls is given by
x = (1/2)at^2
where a = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2
x = (1/2)(9.8)(18)^2
x = 1587.6 m
The answer is 1587.6 meters
