Answer:

the transmission axis of polarizing sheet makes an angle of \Theta =26.74^{\circ} with the horizontal        

Explanation:

We have given that intensity of light incident on the sheet I_0=0.970W/m^2

Average intensity of light emerging from a polarizing sheet I=0.775W/m^2

We have to find the angle between transmission axis with the horizontal

Intensity of light polarizing from sheet is equal to I=I_0cos^2\Theta

So 0.775=0.970cos^2\Theta

cos^2\Theta =0.798

cos\Theta =0.893

\Theta =26.74^{\circ}

So the transmission axis of polarizing sheet makes an angle of \Theta =26.74^{\circ} with the horizontal

On a straight road, a car speeds up at a constant rate from rest to 20 m/s over a 5 second interval and a truck slows at a const
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

a)

Explanation:

  • Since the car speeds up at a constant rate, we can use the kinematic equation for distance (assuming that the initial position is x=0, and choosing t₀ =0), as follows:

        x_{fc} = v_{o}*t + \frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2}   (1)

  • Since the car starts from rest, v₀ =0.
  • We know the value of t = 5 sec., but we need to find the value of a.
  • Applying the definition of acceleration, as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time, and remembering that v₀ = 0 and t₀ =0, we can solve for a, as follows:

       a_{c} =\frac{v_{fc}}{t} = \frac{20m/s}{5s} = 4 m/s2  (2)

  • Replacing a and t in (1):

       x_{fc} = v_{o}*t + \frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2}  = \frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} = \frac{1}{2}* 4 m/s2*(5s)^{2} = 50.0 m.  (3)

  • Now, if the truck slows down at a constant rate also, we can use (1) again, noting that v₀ is not equal to zero anymore.
  • Since we have the values of vf (it's zero because the truck stops), v₀, and t, we can find the new value of a, as follows:

       a_{t} =\frac{-v_{to}}{t} = \frac{-20m/s}{10s} = -2 m/s2  (4)

  • Replacing v₀, at and t in (1), we have:

       x_{ft} = 20m/s*10.0s + \frac{1}{2}*(-2 m/s2)*(10.0s)^{2} = 200m -100m = 100.0m   (5)

  • Therefore, as the truck travels twice as far as the car, the right answer is a).
