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.

A 2kg toy car traveling at 2m/s strikes a second toy car at rest. The mass of the second toy car is 3. The two stock together an

Nutka1998 [239]

Mass of first car = Initial mass (Mi) = 2 kg
Initial velocity (Vi) = 2 m/s

Mass of both cars together = Final mass (Mf) = 2 + 3 kg = 5 kg
Final Velocity (Vf) = ?

Applying law of conservation of momentum,

Mi x Vi = Mf x Vf
2 x 2 = 5 x Vf
Vf = 4/5 = 0.8 m/s

A 1.25-kg ball begins rolling from rest with constant angular acceleration down a hill. If it takes 3.60 s for it to make the fi

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

The time taken is $\Delta t = 1.5 \ s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the ball is $m = 1.25 \ kg$

The time taken to make the first complete revolution is t= 3.60 s

The displacement of the first complete revolution is $\theta = 1 rev = 2 \pi \ radian$

Generally the displacement for one complete revolution is mathematically represented as

$\theta = w_i t + \frac{1}{2} * \alpha * t^2$

Now given that the stone started from rest $w_i = 0 \ rad / s$

$2 \pi =0 + 0.5* \alpha *(3.60)^2$

$\alpha = 0.9698 \ s$

Now the displacement for two complete revolution is

$\theta_2 = 2 * 2\pi$

$\theta_2 = 4\pi$

Generally the displacement for two complete revolution is mathematically represented as

$4 \pi = 0 + 0.5 * 0.9698 * t^2$

=> $t^2 = 25.9187$

=> $t= 5.1 \ s$

So

The time taken to complete the next oscillation is mathematically evaluated as

$\Delta t = t_2 - t$

substituting values

$\Delta t = 5.1 - 3.60$

$\Delta t = 1.5 \ s$

A +26.3 uC charge qy is repelled by a force

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

+1.46×10¯⁶ C

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Charge 1 (q₁) = +26.3 μC = +26.3×10¯⁶ C

Force (F) = 0.615 N

Distance apart (r) = 0.750 m

Electrical constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Charge 2 (q₂) =?

The value of the second charge can be obtained as follow:

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

0.615 = 9×10⁹ × 26.3×10¯⁶ × q₂ / 0.750²

0.615 = 236700 × q₂ / 0.5625

Cross multiply

236700 × q₂ = 0.615 × 0.5625

Divide both side by 236700

q₂ = (0.615 × 0.5625) / 236700

q₂ = +1.46×10¯⁶ C

NOTE: The force between them is repulsive as stated from the question. This means that both charge has the same sign. Since the first charge has a positive sign, the second charge also has a positive sign. Thus, the value of the second charge is +1.46×10¯⁶ C

You are designing a rotating metal flywheel that will be used to store energy. The flywheel is to be a uniform disk with radius

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

t = 0.0735 m

Explanation:

Angular acceleration of the flywheel is given as

$\alpha = 3 rad/s^2$

now after t = 8 s the speed of the flywheel is given as

$\omega = \alpha t$

$\omega = 3 \times 8$

$\omega = 24 rad/s$

now rotational kinetic energy of the wheel is given as

$K = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$

$K = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{2}mR^2)(24^2)$

$800 = \frac{1}{4}m(0.23)^2(24^2)$

$m = 105 kg$

now we have

$m = \rho (\pi R^2) t$

$105 = 8600(\pi \times 0.23^2) t$

$t = 0.0735 m$

There are 2 concentric cylinders. These cylinders are very long with length L. The inner cylinder has a radius R1 and is a solid

OLga [1]

To get the charge along the inner cylinder, we use Gauss Law
E = d R1/2εo
For the outer cylinder the charge can be calculated using
E = d R2^2/2εoR1
where d is the charge density
Use these two equations to get the charge in between the cylinders and the capacitance between them.
