Force = the mass of an object x its acceleration
Answer:
Polarization is the attribute that a wave’s oscillations have a definite direction relative to the direction of propagation of the wave. (This is not the same type of polarization as that discussed for the separation of charges.) Waves having such a direction are said to be polarized. For an EM wave, we define the direction of polarization to be the direction parallel to the electric field. Thus we can think of the electric field arrows as showing the direction of polarization, as in Figure 2.
To examine this further, consider the transverse waves in the ropes shown in Figure 3. The oscillations in one rope are in a vertical plane and are said to be vertically polarized. Those in the other rope are in a horizontal plane and are horizontally polarized. If a vertical slit is placed on the first rope, the waves pass through. However, a vertical slit blocks the horizontally polarized waves. For EM waves, the direction of the electric field is analogous to the disturbances on the ropes.

Answer:
ω = 5.5 rad/s
Explanation:
- Assuming no external torques present during the instant that the clump of clay is dropped on the turntable, total angular momentum must be conserved.
- The angular momentum of a rotating rigid body, can be expressed as follows:
where I = moment of inertia regarding the axis of rotation, and ω =
angular speed of the rotating body.
- Since the angular momentum must keep constant, this means that it must be satisfied the following equality:
where L₀ = I₀ * ω₀, Lf = If * ωf.
I₀ is the moment of inertia of a solid disk rotating around an axis
passing through its center, as follows:
If, is the moment of inertia after dropping the clump of clay, which adds
its own moment of inertia as a point mass, as follows:
- Replacing I₀, If and ω₀ in (2), we can solve for ωf, as follows:
