The tomato is dropped. What is the velocity, v, of the tomato when it hits the ground? Assume 85.6 % of the work done in Part A

is transferred to kinetic energy, E, by the time the tomato hits the ground.

Answer:

Ok, we know that you drop a tomato of mass M from a height h, because you drop it, it has not initial velocity.

Now, the kinetic energy is:

K = (M/2)*v^2

because at the begginig there is not velocity, the kinetic energy is zero.

the potential energy is:

U = M*g*h

where g = 9.8m/s^2

We know that when the tomato hits the ground, the 85.6% of these potential energy is converted in kinetic; so we have:

K = 0.856*M*g*h = (1/2)*M*v^2

M can be canceled in both sides:

v^2 = 2*0.856*g*h

v = √(1.712*g*h)

is the velocity of the tomato when it hits the ground.

Answer:

v = 4.1 \sqrt{h}

Explanation:

Let the mass of tomato is m and the height from which it falls is h.

Let the tomato its the ground with velocity v.

The potential energy of the tomato at height h

U = m x g x h

The kinetic energy of tomato as it hits the ground

K = 1/2 mv^2

According to the question,

85.6 % of Potential energy = Kinetic energy

\frac{85.6}{100}\times m\times g\times h = \frac{1}{2}\times m\times v^{2}

v = 4.1 \sqrt{h}

Two polarizers A and B are aligned so that their transmission axes are vertical and horizontal, respectively. A third polarizer
Reptile [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the angle between the first polariser and the second polariser axis is θ.

By using of law of Malus

(a)

Let the intensity of light coming out from the first polariser is I'

I' = I_{0}Cos^{2}\theta     .... (1)

Now the angle between the transmission axis of the second and the third polariser is 90 - θ. Let the intensity of light coming out from the third polariser is I''.

By the law of Malus

I'' = I'Cos^{2}\left ( 90-\theta \right )

So,

I'' = I_{0}Cos^{2}\theta Cos^{2}\left ( 90-\theta \right )

I'' = I_{0}Cos^{2}\theta Sin^{2}\theta

I'' = \frac{I_{0}}{4}Sin^{2}2\theta

(b)

Now differentiate with respect to θ.

I'' = \frac{I_{0}}{4}\times 2 \times 2 \times Sin2\theta \times Cos 2\theta

I'' = \frac{I_{0}}{2}\times Sin 4\theta
