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°

A flat circular plate of copper has a radius of 0.262 m and a mass of 61.5 kg.
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

0.031 m

Explanation:

Density of copper = ρ =  8960 kg/m³

r = Radius = 0.262 m

m = Mass of plate = 61.5 kg

v = Volume of plate = Volume of cylinder = πr²h

\rho=\frac{m}{v}\\\Rightarrow 8940=\frac{61.5}{\pi r^2h}\\\Rightarrow h=\frac{61.5}{\pi 0.262^2\times 8940}\\\Rightarrow h=0.031\ m

So, thickness of plate is 0.031 m

Name the physical quantity measured by the velocity-time graph?
VARVARA [1.3K]
The so-called "velocity-time" graph is actually a "speed-time" graph.  At any point
on it, the 'x'-coordinate is a time, and the 'y'-coordinate is the speed at that time.

'Velocity' is a speed AND a direction.  Without a direction, you do not have a velocity,
and these graphs never show the direction of the motion.  It seems to me that it would be
pretty tough to draw a graph that shows the direction of motion at every instant of time,
so my take is that you'll never see a true "velocity-time" graph. 

At best, it would need a second line on it, whose 'y'-coordinate referred to a second
axis, calibrated in angle and representing the 'bearing' or 'heading' of the motion at
each instant. The graph of uniform circular motion, for example, would have a straight
horizontal line for speed, and a 'sawtooth' wave for direction.
