We could use the change of pressure to calculate for the height climbed by the mountain hiker. The change of pressure is given by

p = rho * g * h, where p is the change of pressure, rho is the air density, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height.

Using the conversion 1 mbar = 100 Pa,

(930 - 780)(100) = (1.20)(9.80)h
15000 = 1.20*9.80*h

h = 1.28 km

Plane polarized light with intensity I0 is incident on a polarizer. What angle should the principle axis make with respenct to t
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

 Q = 47.06 degrees

Explanation:

Given:

- The transmitted intensity I = 0.464 I_o

- Incident Intensity I = I_o

Find:

What angle should the principle axis make with respect to the incident polarization

Solution:

- The relation of transmitted Intensity I to to the incident intensity I_o on a plane paper with its principle axis is given by:

                                     I = I_o * cos^2 (Q)

- Where Q is the angle between the Incident polarized Light and its angle with the principle axis. Hence, Using the relation given above:

                                     Q = cos ^-1 (sqrt (I / I_o))

- Plug the values in:

                                     Q = cos^-1 ( sqrt (0.464))

                                     Q = cos^-1 (0.6811754546)

                                     Q = 47.06 degrees

A 1220-w hair dryer is used by several members of the family for a total of 30 min per day during a 30 day month. How much elecr
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Energy = 18.3 Kilowatt-hour

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Power = 1220 Watts

Time = 30 * 30 = 900 minutes to hours = 900/60 = 15 hours

To find the energy consumption;

Power can be defined as the energy required to do work per unit time.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Power = \frac {Energy}{time}

Making energy the subject of formula, we have;

Energy = power * time

Energy = 1220 * 15

Energy = 18300 Joules

To convert energy to Kilowatt-hour;

Energy = 18300/1000

Energy = 18.3 Kilowatt-hour
