Answer:

A. 0.20 unpolarized and 0.80 plane polarized.

Explanation:

After passing through polaroid sheet , unpolarised portion will get reduced by half . So this portion becomes .20/ 2 = 0.10

The polarized portion can face two situation depending upon the angle of the polaroid.

It may either be cut off to zero. So total intensity of transmitted light  wil be .10 + 0 = .10

It may or be passed fully . In that case total intensity of transmitted light will become 0 .10 +0.80 =0.90

Ratio of these two light of maximum and minimum intensity is 0.90 / 0.10 = 9.

A 12-kg projectile is launched with an initial vertical speed of 20 m/s. It rises to a maximum height of 18 m above the launch p
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Change in mechanical energy, \Delta E=283.2\ J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the projectile, m = 12 kg

Speed of the projectile, v = 20 m/s

Maximum height, h = 18 m

Initially, the projectile have only kinetic energy. it is given by :

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

K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 12\ kg\times (20\ m/s)^2

K = 2400 J

Finally, it have only potential energy. it is given by :

P = mgh

P=12\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 18\ m

P =2116.8 J

The change in mechanical energy is given by :

\Delta E=K-P

\Delta E=2400-2116.8

\Delta E=283.2\ J

So, the change in mechanical energy is 283.2 J. Hence, this is the required solution.

Rotation of the lever OA is controlled by the motion of the contacting circular disk of radius r = 300 mm whose center is given
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The angular velocity is

5.64rad/s

Explanation:

This problem bothers on curvilinear motion

The angular velocity is defined as the rate of change of angular displacement it is expressed in rad/s

We know that the velocity v is given as

v= ωr

Where ω is the angular velocity

r is 300mm to meter = 0.3m

the radius of the circle

described by the level

v=1.64m/s

Making ω subject of the formula and solving we have

ω=v/r

ω=1.64/0.3

ω=5.46 rad/s

You are pushing a wooden crate across the floor at constant speed. You decide to turn the crate on end, reducing by half the sur
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

D. Half as great

Explanation:

Since we know that the friction force between the surface of crate and ground is given as

F_f = \mu F_n

so here we know that

\mu = friction coefficient between two surfaces which depends on the effective contact area between two surfaces

F_n = normal force due to the object

So when we turn the object on another side such that the surface area is half then the friction coefficient will become also half

So here the friction force will also reduce to half

so correct answer will be

D. Half as great
