Answer:
Reflective
Explanation:
The radiation pressure of the wave that totally absorbed is given by;

and While the radiation pressure of the wave totally reflected is given by;

Now compare the two-equation you can clearly see that the pressure due to reflection is larger than absorption therefore the sail should be reflective.
Answer:
D. 15 m/s downward
Explanation:
v = at + v₀
v = (-9.8 m/s²) (1.5 s) + (0 m/s)
v = -14.7 m/s
Rounded to two significant figures, the answer is D, 15 m/s downward.
Answer:
21.28 m
Explanation:
height, h = 71 m
velocity of raft, v = 5.6 m/s
let the time taken by the stone to reach to raft is t.
use second equation of motion for stone

u = 0 m/s, h = 71 m, g = 9.8 m/s^2
71 = 0 + 0.5 x 9.8 x t^2
t = 3.8 s
Horizontal distance traveled by the raft in time t
d = v x t = 5.6 x 3.8 = 21.28 m
Answer:
Acceleration of the ship, 
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of both ships, 
Distance between two ships, d = 110 m
The gravitational force between two ships is given by :


F = 8.38 N
Let a is the acceleration. Now, using second law of motion as :



So, the acceleration of either ship due to the gravitational attraction of the other is
. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
The transmitted intensity through all polarizers is 
Explanation:
According to Malu's law the intensity of a polarized light having an initial intensity
is mathematically represented as

Now considering the polarizer(The polarizing disk) the equation above becomes

Where n is the number of polarizers
Substituting
for the initial intensity 3 for the n and 20° for the angle of rotation
