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.

If you wanted to detect x rays coming from the sun, where would you place the detector? Why?
Damm [24]
You would have to place your sensor above earth's atmosphere because it blocks out nearly all x-rays. this is why we have the Chandra observatory

hope this helps

What is a warming sign that suggest a weight loss plan is a fad diet rather than a healthy weight loss plan?
Serga [27]

Answer:

Warming signs before fad diet includes:

1. When a special type of diet is recommended for weight loss.

2. When quick weight loss is promised instead of advice on the need to exercise, eat healthy foods including fruits and vegetables, and adopt a good feeding behavior.

3. Promises rapid weight loss in a short period of time.

After taking the fad diet the following might be experienced:

1. Constipation.

2. Weakness and fatigue.

3. More accumulation of fats in the body in the long run after a short term normal  BMI (Body mass index).

4. Lower metabolic rates over time.

Explanation:

weight loss is a practice adopted by people for various reasons ranging from the desire to stay healthy to, ability to pursue a career that requires a good Body Mass Index. For instance, A BMI (Body mass index) which is equal to a person's weight (kg) / (height(m))^2 of 30 and higher is considered obese.

Fad diet which may give a temporary result of weight loss is not considered totally healthy as it doesn't capture the need to eat a healthy balanced diet instead focuses on more routine consumption of a particular kind of diet.

A healthy weight loss plan captures the need to exercise, reduce body fats while eating healthy. Eating fruits, vegetables are also encouraged.

A 3.0 kg block is pushed by a 14 N force. If µ = 0.6, will the block move?
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

The block will not move.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the frictional force. This can be obtained as follow:

Coefficient of friction (µ) = 0.6

Mass of block (m) = 3 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Normal reaction (R) = mg = 3 × 10 = 30 N

Frictional force (Fբ) =?

Fբ = µR

Fբ = 0.6 × 30

Fբ = 18 N

From the calculations made above, the frictional force of the block is 18 N. Since the frictional force (i.e 18 N) is bigger than the force applied (i.e 14 N), the block will not move.

Susan's 10.0kg baby brother Paul sits on a mat. Susan pulls the mat across the floor using a rope that is angled 30? above the f
elena-s [515]

Answer:

The speed after being pulled is 2.4123m/s

Explanation:

The work realize by the tension and the friction is equal to the change in the kinetic energy, so:

W_T+W_F=K_f-K_i (1)

Where:

W_T=T*x*cos(0)=32N*3.2m*cos(30)=88.6810J\\W_F=F_r*x*cos(180)=-0.190*mg*x =-0.190*10kg*9.8m/s^{2}*3.2m=59.584J\\ K_i=0\\K_f=\frac{1}{2}*m*v_f^{2}=5v_f^{2}

Because the work made by any force is equal to the multiplication of the force, the displacement and the cosine of the angle between them.

Additionally, the kinetic energy is equal to \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}, so if the initial velocity v_i is equal to zero, the initial kinetic energy K_i is equal to zero.

Then, replacing the values on the equation and solving for v_f, we get:

W_T+W_F=K_f-K_i\\88.6810-59.5840=5v_f^{2}\\29.097=5v_f^{2}

\frac{29.097}{5}=v_f^{2}\\\sqrt{5.8194}=v_f\\2.4123=v_f

So, the speed after being pulled 3.2m is 2.4123 m/s
