Answer:

Option C.

Explanation:

Suppose that we have light polarized in some given direction with an intensity I0, and it passes through a polarizer that has an angle θ with respect to the polarization of the light, the intensity that comes out of the polarizer will be:

I(θ) = I0*cos^2(θ)

Ok, we know that the light is polarized horizontally and comes with an intensity I0

The first polarizer axis is horizontal, then the intensity after this polarizer is:

then θ = 0°

I(0°) = I0*cos^2(0°) = I0

The intensity does not change. The axis of polarization does not change.

The second polarizer is oriented at 20° from the horizontal, then the intensity that comes out of this polarizer is:

I(20°) =  I0*cos^2(20°) = I0*0.88

And the axis of polarization of the light that comes out is now 20° from the horizontal

Now the light passes through the last polarizer, which has an axis oriented horizontally, so the final intensity of the light will be:

note that here the initial polarization is  I0*0.88

and the angle between the axis is 20° again.

Then the final intensity is:

I(20°) =  I0*0.88*cos^2(20°) = I0*0.78

Then the correct option is C.

A baseball player hits a baseball with a bat. The mass of the ball is 0.25 kg. The ball accelerates at 200 m/s2
EastWind [94]

Answer:

50N

Explanation:

Force (N) = mass (kg) × acceleration (m/s²)

0.25kg times 200m/s² = 50N
