Students have 4 different pairs of sunglasses, each with lenses where the polarization filter is oriented in different direction

s (indicated by the direction of lines drawn on the lenses below). They are planning to ride rafts down a river on a sunny day where there is lots of glare on the water. Which pair would they want to wear to eliminate the glare from the sun

Answer:

the lens you must select has an angle of 143º measured with respect to the horizontal, this angle is 53º with respect to the vertical.

Explanation:

The glare is caused by the reflection of light in the water, the polarization of the reflected light is polarized in a direction parallel to the surface of the water, the polarization is total for the angles

         n = tan  \theta_{p}

         \theta_{p} = tan⁻¹ n

the refractive index for seawater is 1.33

         \theta_{p}= tan⁻¹  1.33

         \theta_{p} = 53º

for this angle the light is totally polarized, for the other angles the polarization is partial.

Based on this, the lenses must eliminate this polarization, so its polarization direction must have 90º with respect to this polarization,

          \theta_{lens} = 53 +90

           \theta_{lens}= 143º

Therefore, the lens you must select has an angle of 143º measured with respect to the horizontal, this angle is 53º with respect to the vertical.

A lens that could work is one that is polarized 45º with respect to the vertical.

A delivery truck leaves a warehouse and travels 3.20 km east. The truck makes a right turn and travels 2.45 km south to arrive a
boyakko [2]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Displacement of the delivery truck, d_1=3.2\ km (due east)

Then the truck moves, d_2=2.45\ km (due south)

Let d is the magnitude of the truck’s displacement from the warehouse. The net displacement is given by :

d=\sqrt{d_1^2+d_2^2}

d=\sqrt{3.2^2+2.45^2}

d = 4.03 km

Let \theta is the direction of the truck’s displacement from the warehouse from south of east.

\theta=tan^{-1}(\dfrac{2.45}{3.2})

\theta=37.43^{\circ}

So, the magnitude and direction of the truck’s displacement from the warehouse is 4.03 km, 37.4° south of east.

<h2>The temperature of the air is 66.8° C</h2>

Explanation:

From the Newton's  velocity of sound relationship , the velocity of sound is directly proportional to the square root of temperature .

In this case The velocity of sound = frequency x wavelength

= 798 x 0.48 = 383 m/sec

Suppose the temperature at this time = T K

Thus 383 ∝ \sqrt{T}                       I

The velocity of sound is 329 m/s at 273 K ( given )

Thus 329 ∝ \sqrt{273}                   II

Dividing I by II , we have

\frac{383}{329} = \sqrt{\frac{T}{273} }

or \frac{T}{273} = 1.25

and T = 339.8 K  = 66.8° C

If a 25 kg object is moving at a velocity of 10 m/s, the object has<br> energy. Calculate it.
Paul [167]

Answer: Your answer is 1250J

Explanation:

K E = 1/2 m v 2

The mass is  

m = 25 k g

The velocity is  v = 10 m s − 1

So,

K E = 1 /2 x25 x 10 2^2= 1250 J
