The average intensity of light emerging from a polarizing sheet is 0.708 W/m2, and that of the horizontally polarized light inci

dent on the sheet is 0.960 W/m2. Determine the angle that the transmission axis of the polarizing sheet makes with the horizontal.

Answer:

Angle θ = 30.82°

Explanation:

From Malus’s law, since the intensity of a wave is proportional to its amplitude squared, the intensity I of the transmitted wave is related to the incident wave by; I = I_o cos²θ

where;

I_o is the intensity of the polarized wave before passing through the filter.

In this question,

I is 0.708 W/m²

While I_o is 0.960 W/m²

Thus, plugging in these values into the equation, we have;

0.708 W/m² = 0.960 W/m² •cos²θ

Thus, cos²θ = 0.708 W/m²/0.960 W/m²

cos²θ = 0.7375

Cos θ = √0.7375

Cos θ = 0.8588

θ = Cos^(-1)0.8588

θ = 30.82°

shutvik [7]

Answer:

9.9 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 5+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=9.9\ m/s

If the body has started from rest then the initial velocity is 0. In order to find the velocity just before hitting the water then the distance at which the downward motion stops is irrelevant.

Hence, the speed of the diver just before striking the water is 9.9 m/s

If you walk 30 meters forwards, and then turn around and walk 25 meters backwards, what is the distance that you walked? What di
xeze [42]

Given :

Walk in forward direction is 30 m .

Walk in backward direction is 25 m .

To Find :

The distance and displacement .

Solution :

We know , distance is total distance covered and displacement is distance between final and initial position .

So , distance travelled is :

D = 30 + 25 m = 55 m .

Now , we first move 30 m in forward direction and then 25 m in backward direction .

So , displacement is :

D = 30 - 25 m = 5 m .

Therefore , distance and displacement covered is 55 m and 5 m respectively .

Hence , this is the required solution .

gavmur [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to work energy theorem

change in kinetic energy of truck = work done against it

work done against it = force x displacement

= - 850 x 8 = 6800 J

change in kinetic energy of truck = - 6800 J .

energy will be reduced by 6800 J

The earth tilt about 23 degrees which leads to the formation of seasons on earth.

<h3>At what degree the earth tilt?</h3>

This is tilted at 23 degrees from the vertical. The northern hemisphere is in the winter season.

This is the path as the earth revolves around the sun. It takes 1 year to complete this path.

This is the path as the earth rotates around its.

So we can conclude that the earth tilt about 23 degrees which leads to the formation of seasons on earth.
