Answer:

answer is A corresponding to 60 W

Explanation:

The polarization phenomenon is descriptor Malus's law

      I = I₀ cos² θ

Where I and Io are the transmitted and incident intensities, respectively, θ  is the angle between the direction of polarization of the light and the polarizer.

Unpolarized light strikes the first polarizer and half of it is transmitted, which has the polarization direction of the polarizer

      I₁ = ½ I₀

      I₁ = ½ 300

      I₁ = 150 W

The transmission by the second polarizer (P2) is

      I₂ = I₁ cos² θ 1

      I₂ = 150 cos² 45

      I₂ = 75 W

The transmission of the third polarizer (P3)

     I₃ = I₂ cos² θ 2

     I₃ = 75 cos² 30

     I₃ = 56.25 W

This is the light transmitted by the 56 W system, the closest answer is A corresponding to 60 W

A capacitor consists of a set of two parallel plates of area A separated by a distance d . This capacitor is connected to a batt
Elis [28]

Answer:

if we double the distance the energy stored will be doubled also

Explanation:

The energy stored in a capacitor is given as

Energy stored =1/2(cv²)

Or

= 1/2(Qv)

Where c = capacitance

Q= charge

But the electric field is expressed as

E= v/d

where v= voltage

d= distance

v=Ed

Substituting into any equation above say

Energy stored =1/2(Qv)

Substituting v=Ev

Energy stored =1/2(QEd)

From the equation above it shows that if we double the distance The energy stored will be doubled also

a light wave travels from air into a medium of refractive index 1.54. If the wavelength of the light in air is 5.4 * 10^-7. calc
kozerog [31]

3.51 × 10^-7m

Explanation:

Refractive index = wavelength of the light in air ÷ wavelength in the medium

wavelength in the medium = wavelength of the light in air ÷ refractive index

= 5.4 * 10^-7 ÷ 1.54

= 3.51 × 10^-7m

Two balls are thrown off a building with the same speed, one straight up and one at a 45° angle. Which statement is true if air
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

c. Both hit the ground with the same speed.

Explanation:

Given that speed of the both balls are same.

We know that kinetic energy given as

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

v=Speed  ,  m= mass

If mass of the the balls are same then their kinetic energy will be same.

The potential energy PE

PE= m g h

h =height

Given that h is same ,therefore their potential energy will be same.

But the time taken by both the balls will be different.

Therefore answer is c.
