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.

An astronaut is in equilibrium when he is positioned 140 km from the center of asteroid C and 581 km from the center of asteroid
serg [7]

Answer:B

Explanation:

Given

Distance of astronaut From asteroid x is r_x=140 km

Distance of astronaut From asteroid Y is r_y=581 km

Suppose M,M_x,M_y be the masses of Astronaut , asteroid X and Y

If the astronaut is in equilibrium then net gravitational force on it is zero

F_x=F_y

\frac{GMM_x}{r_x^2}=\frac{GMM_y}{r_y^2}

cancel out the common terms we get

\frac{M_x}{r_x^2}=\frac{M_y}{r_y^2}

\frac{M_x}{M_y}=(\frac{r_x}{r_y})^2

\frac{M_x}{M_y}=(\frac{140}{581})^2

\frac{M_x}{M_y}=0.05806\approx 0.0581

A 20 kg box on a horizontal frictionless surface is moving to the right at a speed of 4.0 m/s. The box hits and remains attached
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Work done by the spring is negative

Explanation:

We can answer this question by thinking what is the force acting on the box.

In fact, the force acting on the box is the restoring force of the spring, which is given by Hooke's Law:

F=-kx

where

k is the spring constant

x is the displacement of the box with respect to the equilibrium position of the spring

The negative sign in the equation indicates that the direction of the force is always opposite to the direction of the displacement: so, whether the spring is compressed or stretched, the force applied by the spring on the box is towards the equilibrium position.

The work done by the restoring force is also given by

W=Fx cos \theta

where

F is the restoring force

x is the displacement

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement

Here we know that the force is always opposite to the displacement, so

\theta=180^{\circ} \rightarrow cos \theta =-1

Which means that the work done by the spring is always negative, since the direction of the restoring force is always opposite to the direction of motion.

I assume the element has 5 valence electrons (not neutrons).  The similar properties are shared between y and z  since they have the same number of valence electrons.  This is what is primarily responsible for chemical behavior.

The unit of length most suitable for measuring the thickness of a cell phone is a
Elis [28]

centimeter or millimeter.

Explanation:

The unit of length most suitable for measuring the thickness of a cell phone is centimeter or millimeter.

Length refers to how long a material is.

  • There are different units of length.
  • Smaller units that are microscopic are used to measure length dimensions that are very small
  • For example, nanometre is used to express microscopic length values.
  • Centimeters and millimeters are used for small dimensions that we can easily see.
  • Longer lengths can take the order of a yard, kilometer, miles e.t.c

You are standing on a footbridge that is 12 feet above a lake. You look down and see a duck in the water. The duck is 7 feet awa
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

  30.22°.          

Explanation:

Given that

height of the bridge ,h= 12 ft

The distance of the lake from bridge ,L= 7 m

 Lets take angle = θ

Now by using diagram

We can say that

tan\theta =\dfrac{L}{h}

tan\theta =\dfrac{7}{12}

tan\theta=0.583

\theta=30.22^{\circ}

That is why the angle will be 30.22°.
