Answer:

A Polarizing sheet transmits only the component of light polarized along a particular direction and absorbs the component perpendicular to that direction.

Consider a light beam in the z direction incident on a Polaroid which has its transmission axis in the y direction. On the average, half of the incident light has its polarization axis in the y direction and half in the x direction. Thus half the intensity is transmitted,and the transmitted light is linearly polarized in the y direction.

Argon in the amount of 1.5 kg fills a 0.04-m3 piston cylinder device at 550 kPa. The piston is now moved by changing the weights

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

275 kPa

Explanation:

mass of the gas=m=1.5 kg

initial volume if the gas=V₁=0.04 m³

initial pressure of the gas= P₁=550 kPa

as the condition is given final volume is double the initial volume

V₂=final volume

V₂=2 V₁

As the temperature is constant

T₁=T₂=T

$\frac{P1V1}{T1}$ = $\frac{P2 V2}{T2}$

putting the values in the equation.

$\frac{P1V1}{T1}$ = $\frac{P2 *2V1}{T2}$

P₂= $\frac{P1}{2}$

P₂= $\frac{550}{2}$

P₂=275 kPa

So the final pressure of the gas is 275 kPa.

Platinum has a density of 21.4 g/cm3. if thieves were to steal platinum from a bank using a small truck with a maximum payload o

slega [8]

We will convert the 1dm3 in terms of cm3 as follows:

1dm^3 = (10 cm)^3
= 1000 cm^3

The mass of platinum is equal to 900 lb.
Then we will convert the mass in terms of grams as follows:
1 lb = 453.6 g
900 = 900 x 453.6 g
= 408240 g

Then density of platinum is equal to 21.4 g/cm^3
We will calculate the volume of platinum in mass 408240 g as follows:
Volume of platinum = mass of platinum / density of platinum
= 408240 g / 21.4 g/cm^3
= 19076.6 cm^3

The total volume of platinum is 19076.6 cm^3
The volume of platinum in 1 L bar is 1000cm^3
So, to calculate the number of bars we will use the formula as follows;
Number of bars = volume of platinum available / volume of platinum required in 1 L bar
= 19076.6 cm^3 / 1000 cm^3
= 19
So, the number of bars are 19.
