Unpolarized light with intensity 300 W/m^2 passes first through a polarizing filter with its axis vertical, then through a secon

d polarizing filter. It emerges from the second filter with intensity 121 W/m^2. What is the angle from vertical of the axis of the second polarizing filter?

Answer:

The angle from vertical of the axis of the second polarizing filter is 50.57⁰.

Explanation:

Given;

intensity of the unpolarized light, I₀ = 300 W/m²

intensity of emergent polarized light, I = 121 W/m²

let the angle from vertical of the axis of the second polarizing filter = θ

Apply Malus's law, intensity of emergent polarized light is given as;

I = I₀Cos²θ

Cos^2 \theta = \frac{I}{I_o} \\\\Cos^2 \theta =\frac{121}{300} \\\\Cos^2 \theta =0.4033\\\\Cos \theta = \sqrt{0.4033} \\\\Cos \theta = 0.6351\\\\\theta  = Cos^{-1} (0.6351)\\\\\theta  = 50.57 ^0

Therefore, the angle from vertical of the axis of the second polarizing filter is 50.57⁰.

How much elastic potential energy is stored in a bungee cord with a spring constant of 10.0 N/m when the cord is stretched 2.00
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

<em> The elastic potential energy stored in the bungee cord = 20 J</em>

Explanation:

potential energy: This is the energy possessed by a body due to its position. The S.I unit of energy is Joules. The mathematical expression for elastic potential energy is given below

E = 1/2ke²................ Equation 1

Where E = elastic potential energy of the spring, k = force constant of the spring, e = extension

<em>Given: K = 10 N/m, e = 2.00 m</em>

<em>Substituting these values into Equation 1</em>

<em>E = 1/2(10)(2)²</em>

<em>E = 5×4</em>

<em>E = 20 Joules.</em>

<em>Therefore the elastic potential energy stored in the bungee cord = 20 J</em>

An ant is crawling along a yardstick that is pointed with the 0-inch mark to the east and the 36-inch mark to the west. It start
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

it moves 25 inches.

Explanation:

the east west bit isn't important, ignore it. if an ant starts at 6 then moves to 19 then we need to subtract 19 from 6, that's 13. then it moves to 7. the difference between 19 and 7 is 12. add that to 13 and you get 25. it's important to remember that there is no such thing as negative distance. if it moved, then it counts.

A car is driving away from a crosswalk. The formula d = t 2 + 2 t expresses the car's distance from the crosswalk in feet, d , i
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

1) No, the car does not travel at constant speed.

2) V = 9 ft/s

3) No, the car does not travel at constant speed.

4) V = 5.9 ft/s

Explanation:

In order to know if the car is traveling at constant speed we need to derive the given formula. That way we get speed as a function of time:

V(t) = 2*t + 2   Since the speed depends on time, the speed is not constant at any time.

For the average speed we evaluate the formula for t=2 and t=5:

d(2) = 8 ft     and      d(5) = 35 ft

V_{2-5}=\frac{d(5)-d(2)}{5-2}=9 ft/s

Again, for the average speed we evaluate the formula for t=1.8 and t=2.1:

d(1.8) = 6.84 ft     and      d(2.1) = 8.61 ft

V_{1.8-2.1}=\frac{d(2.1)-d(1.8)}{2.1-1.8}=5.9 ft/s

One gram of Uranium averages release 1.01 KJ (10^7) of energy. How much mass could be converted to energy to release this much e
frutty [35]

Answer:

The amount of mass that needs to be converted to release that amount of energy is 1.122 X 10^{-7}  kg

Explanation:

From Albert Einstein's Energy equation, we can understand that mass can get converted to energy, using the formula

E= \Delta mc^{2}

where \Delta m = change in mass

c = speed of light = 3 \times 10 ^{8}m/s

Making m the subject of the formula, we can find the change in mass to be

\Delta m = \frac{E}{c^{2}}= \frac{1.01 \times 10^{3} \times 10^{7}}{(3 \times 10^{8})^{2}}= 1.122 \times 10 ^{-7}kg

There fore, the amount of mass that needs to be converted to release that amount of energy is 1.122 X 10 ^-7 kg
