A merchant in Katmandu sells you a solid gold 6 kg statue for a very reasonable price. When you get home, you wonder whether or

not you got a bargain, so you lower the statue into a measuring cup and measure its volume. What volume will verify that it's pure gold?

Answer:

0.000311 m³

Explanation:

The formula that connect volume, mass and density is given below

D = m/v ...................... Equation 1

Where D = Density of the gold, m = mass of the gold, v = volume of the gold.

make v the subject of the equation

v = m/D .................. Equation 2

Given: m = 6 kg,

Note the density of pure gold = 19300 kg/m².

Substitute into equation 2

v = 6/19300

v = 0.000311 m³

Hence the volume that will verify that it's a pure gold = 0.000311 m³

The equivalent gravitational force is ~

$F \approx1.48\times 10 {}^{ - 7} \: \: N$

$\large \boxed{ \mathfrak{Step\:\: By\:\:Step\:\:Explanation}}$

We know that ~

$\huge\boxed{\mathrm{F = \dfrac{ Gm_1m_2}{ r²}}}$

where,

F = gravitational force

$m_1$ = mass of 1st object = 500 kg

$m_2$ = mass of 2nd object = 20kg

G = gravitational constant = $6.674 × {10}^ {-11}$

r = distance between the objects = 2.12 m

Let's calculate the force ~

$F = \dfrac{6.674 \times 10 {}^{ - 11} \times 500 \times 20}{(2.12) {}^{2} }$

$F = \dfrac{6.674 \times 10 {}^{ - 11} \times 10 {}^{4} }{4.4944}$

$F = \dfrac{6.674}{4.4944} \times 10 {}^{ - 7}$

$F =1.484 \times 10 {}^{ - 7} \: \: newtons$

Unpolarized light passes through two polarizers whose transmission axes are at an angle # with respect to each other. What shoul

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

$63.4^{\circ}$

Explanation:

When unpolarized light passes through the first polarizer, the intensity of the light is reduced by a factor 1/2, so

$I_1 = \frac{1}{2}I_0$ (1)

where I_0 is the intensity of the initial unpolarized light, while I_1 is the intensity of the polarized light coming out from the first filter. Light that comes out from the first polarizer is also polarized, in the same direction as the axis of the first polarizer.

When the (now polarized) light hits the second polarizer, whose axis of polarization is rotated by an angle $\theta$ with respect to the first one, the intensity of the light coming out is

$I_2 = I_1 cos^2 \theta$ (2)

If we combine (1) and (2) together,

$I_2 = \frac{1}{2}I_0 cos^2 \theta$ (3)

We want the final intensity to be 1/10 the initial intensity, so

$I_2 = \frac{1}{10}I_0$

So we can rewrite (3) as

$\frac{1}{10}I_0 = \frac{1}{2}I_0 cos^2 \theta$

From which we find

$cos^2 \theta = \frac{1}{5}$

$cos \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}$

$\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}})=63.4^{\circ}$
