In order to solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to intensity and specifically described in Malus's law.

Malus's law warns that

I = I_0 cos^2\theta

Where,

\theta= Angle between the analyzer axis and the polarization axis

I_0 =Intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer

The intensity of the beam from the first polarizer is equal to the half of the initial intensity

I = \frac{I_0}{2}

Replacing with our the numerical values we get

I = \frac{46}{2}

I = 23W/m^2

Therefore the  intensity of the light that emerges from the filter is 23W/m^2

A stubborn, 100 kgkg mule sits down and refuses to move. To drag the mule to the barn, the exasperated farmer ties a rope around
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

No, the farmer is not able to move the mule.

Explanation:

Mass =100 kg

Force=F=800 N

The coefficient between the mule and the ground=\mu_s=0.8

\mu_k=0.5

Static friction force,f=\mu N

Normal force=N=mg

Static friction force,f=\mu_s mg=0.8\times 100\times 9.8=784 N

Using g=9.8m/s^2

F<f

Static friction force is greater than applied force.

Therefore , the farmer is not able to move the mule.

When a comet comes close to the Sun, what happens to it that makes it bright and easier to see?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Explanation:

Comet is made by dust particles, icy particles, gases etc.

A comet has a fixed time to complete a revolution around the sun.

As a comet comes nearer to the sun, due to the heat of the sun the vapour and the icy particles becomes gases and due to the radial pressure of energy od sun, we observe a tail of comet which has vapours mainly. SI the comet is visible easily.
