The acceleration of the electron is larger than the acceleration of the proton.

The reason for this is that the mass of the electron is smaller (about 1000 times smaller) than the mass of the proton. The two particles have same charge (e), so they experience the same force under the same electric field E:
F=eE 
However, according to Newton's second law, the force is the product between the mass particle, m, and its acceleration, a:
F=ma 
which can be rewritten as
a= \frac{F}{m}
we said that the force exerted on the two particles, F, is the same, while the mass of the electron is smaller: therefore, from the last formula we see that the acceleration of the electron will be larger than that of the proton.

Unpolarizedlight of intensity I_0 is incident on three polarizingfilters. The axis of the first is vertical, that of the secondi
Marina86 [1]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the law of Malus which describe the intensity of light passing through a polarizer. Mathematically this law can be described as:

I = I_0 cos^2\theta

Where,

I_0 = Indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer

I = Resulting intensity

\theta= Indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light

From the law of Malus when the light passes at a vertical angle through the first polarizer its intensity is reduced by half therefore

I_1= \frac{I_0}{2}

In the case of the second polarizer the angle is directly 60 degrees therefore

I_2 = I_1 cos^2\theta

I_2 = (\frac{I_0}{2} ) cos^2(60)

I_2 = 0.125I_0

In the case of the third polarizer, the angle is reflected on the perpendicular, therefore, its angle of index would be

\theta_3 = 90-60 = 30

Then,

I_3 = I_2 cos^2\theta_3

I_3 = 0.125I_0 cos^2 (30)

I_3 = 0.09375I_0

Then the intensity at the end of the polarized lenses will be equivalent to 0.09375 of the initial intensity.

A bee flies at a constant rate of 5 m s until it notices a flower. It then comes to rest in 5 seconds. Find the acceleration of
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

B) -1m/s^2

Explanation:

Final speed = 0 m/s

Initial speed = 5m/s

Time taken for it to come to rest(0m/s) = 5

then use the formula;

[v = u + at],where v is the final speed..u is the initial speed..t is time taken for it to come to rest and a is the acceleration

; 0 = 5 + 5a

; -5 = 5a

;Acceleration = -1 m/s^2

n200080 [17]
This is slightly a trick question.

Potential energy = Mass x gravity x height.

The problem gives us the mass (55kg) and his twin brother we can assume has the same mass (55kg).

It also gives us the height (100m) and acceleration from gravity = 9.81m/s
