Answer:

Explanation:

Intensity of unpolarized light = I(0)

After first polarization its intensity becomes I (0)/2

After second polarization its its intensity becomes I(0) /2 Cos²θ where θ is angle between two polaroid

So I₁ =I(0)/2 X Cos²θ .

I₁/I(0) = 1/10 = .5 X Cos²θ

Cos ²θ = 0.2

θ = 63 degree.

Four objects are situated along the y axis as follows: a 1.99-kg object is at 2.99 m, a 2.96-kg object is at 2.57 m, a 2.43-kg o

Dominik [7]

Answer:

The center of mass for the object is $y_c = 1.063 \ m$ from the origin

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the first object is $m_1 = 1.99 \ kg$

The position of first object with respect to origin $y_1 = 2.99 \ m$

The mass of the second object is $m_2 = 2.96 \ kg$

The position of second object with respect to origin $y_2 = 2.57 \ m$

The mass of the third object is $m_3 = 2.43 \ kg$

The position of third object with respect to origin $y_3 = 0 \ m$

The mass of the fourth object is $m_3 = 3.96 \ kg$

The position of fourth object with respect to origin $y_3 = -0.502 \ m$

Generally the center of mass of the object along the x-axis is zero because all the mass lie on the y axis

Generally the location of the center mass of the object is mathematically represented as

$y_c = \frac{m_1 * y_1 + m_2 * y_2 + m_3 * y_3 + m_4 * y_4}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + m_4}$

=> $y_c = \frac{1.99 * 2.99 + 2.96 * 2.57 + 2.43 * 0 + 3.96 * (-0.502)}{1.99+ 2.96 + 2.43 + 3.96}$

=> $y_c = 1.063 \ m$

Which of these is a mixture?

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Air is a mixture.

Explanation:

Air is a homogeneous mixture. It is made up of gaseous substances such as nitrogen, oxygen, and smaller amounts of others.

Carbon dioxide is a pure substance, not a mixture.

Carbon is another pure substance, it cannot be separated into other substances.

Oxygen is just oxygen, it does not contain any other substance.

A 45.0-kg sample of ice is at 0.00°C. How much heat is needed to melt it? For water, Lf=334 kJ/kg and Lv=2257 kJ/kg

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Heat required to change the phase of ice is given by

Q = m* L

here

m = mass of ice

L = latent heat of fusion

now we have

m = 45 kg

L = 334 KJ/kg

now by using above formula

$Q = 45 * 334 * 10^3$

$Q = 1.5 * 10^7 J$

In KJ we can convert this as

$Q = 1.5 * 10^4 kJ$

so the correct answer is D option

A circuit consists of a battery connected to three resistors (65 ω, 25ω, and 170ω) in parallel. the total current through the re

White raven [17]

A. To find the total emf of the battery, just remember that in a parallel circuit, the voltage is the same throughout the circuit. So you can get the total voltage of the circuit by using Ohm's Law.

$I= \frac{V}{R}$

Where:
I = current (A)
V = Voltage (V) (emf)
R = Resitance (Ω)

Now you can derive the formula of Voltage by transposing the Resistance to the other side of the equation to isolate Voltage. The formula you will now use will be:
$V = IR$

However, you cannot solve this yet because the resistance you need is the total resistance in the circuit. To do this, you need to get the total resistance in this parallel circuit and the formula would be:

$\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{1}{R_{1}}+ \frac{1}{R_{2}}+ \frac{1}{R_{3}}...+ \frac{1}{R_{n}}$

You have three resistors with the following resistance:
65Ω, 25Ω and 170Ω
$\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{1}{R_{1}}+ \frac{1}{R_{2}}+ \frac{1}{R_{3}}...+ \frac{1}{R_{n}}$

$\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{1}{R_{65}}+ \frac{1}{R_{25}}+ \frac{1}{R_{170}}$

$\frac{1}{R_{T}} =0.0153+0.04+0.006+0.0059$
$\frac{1}{R_{T}} =0.0613$

Get the reciprocal of both sides and divide:

$R_{T} = \frac{1}{0.0613} =16.32$

The total resistance then is 16.32Ω

Now that you have the total resistance, you can solve for the total voltage:
$V = IR$
$V = (1.8)(16.32)$
$V = 29.376V$

The emf of the battery is 29.376V

B. To find the resistance in each resistor, just apply Ohm's law again. In a parallel circuit, the voltage is the same, but the current that runs through it is different for each resistor. Now just solve for the current of each using the same voltage.

Resistor 1: 65Ω
$I= \frac{V}{R}$
$I= \frac{29.376}{65}$
$I= 0.45A$

The current flowing through resistor 1 with a resistance of 65Ω is 0.45A.

Resistor 2: 25Ω
$I= \frac{V}{R}$
$I= \frac{29.376}{25}$
$I= 1.18A$
The current flowing through resistor 2 with a resistance of 25Ω is 1.18A.

Resistor 3: 170Ω
$I= \frac{V}{R}$
$I= \frac{29.376}{170}$
$I= 0.17A$

The current flowing through resistor 3 with a resistance of 170Ω is 0.17A.

If you add up all their current it confirms the given that the total current running through all of them is 1.8A.
