Unpolarized light with an intensity of (25.0 A) units is passed through two successive polarizing filters, the first with its po

larization axis aligned with the vertical and the second with its polarization axis rotated (55.0 B) from the vertical. Find the intensity of the light after passing through the two polarizing filters. Give your answer in same unit as the original light and with 3 significant figures.

Answer:

the intensity of the light after passing through the two polarizing filters is 4.11 units  

 

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

the intensity of an unpolarized light; I₀ = 25.0 units

when the unpolarized light passes through the first polarizer, its intensity reduces to half of its initial value;

⇒ I₁ = I₀/2 = 25/2 = 12.5 units

the angle between the transmission axes of two polarizers is;

∅ = 55° - 0° = 55°

The intensity of the light after passing through two polarizing filters will be;

I₂ = I₁cos²∅      

we substitute

I₂ = 12.5 × cos²(55)

I₂ = 12.5 × 0.3289899

I₂ = 4.11 units

Therefore, the intensity of the light after passing through the two polarizing filters is 4.11 units

True or false? A protostellar cloud spins faster as it contracts
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

No. The protostellar cloud spins faster in the collapsing stage (stage 1) and becomes much slower in the contraction stage (stage 2)

Explanation:

Once the cloud is so dense that the heat which is being produced in its center cannot easily escape, pressure rapidly rises, and catches up with the weight, or whatever external force is causing the cloud to collapse, and the cloud becomes stable, as a protostellar cloud.

The protostellar cloud will become more dense over thousands of years. This stage of decreasing size is known as a contraction, rather than a collapse. In the contraction stage the cloud has become much slower, and because weight and pressure are more or less in balance. In the first stage of formation, the decrease of size is very rapid, and compressive forces completely overwhelm the pressure of the gas, and we say that the cloud is collapsing.

An open train car moves with speed 18.5 m/s on a flat frictionless railroad track, with no engine pulling the car. It begins to
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The speed decreases.

Explanation:

This can be explained using the conservation of linear momentum.

Since there is no friction, the initial moment of the train must be equal to its linear moment after it is filled with water.

the initial linear momentum is

m_{1}v_{1}

where m_{1} is the initial mass of the train, and v_{1} the initial speed of the train.

And linear momentum after the water filled the train car is

m_{2}v_{2}

where m_{2} is mass of the train after the  rain, and v_{2} the speed of the train after the rain

<u>the equality must be fulfilled:</u>

m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}

We know that if water is added to the train, m_{2} that is the mass after the water is added, is greater than m_{1} which is the mass of the train without the water.

Therefore, in order for the conservation of the linear momentum to be fulfilled: m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}

the speed after the water is added (v_{2} ) must be smaller than the initial train speed (v_{1} ) . So the speed of the car decreases.

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

It was generally believed that mountains were produced by vertical forces

Explanation:

                   The main view of the world worked geologically prior to the 1960s was that the mountains were formed by the vertical forces of nature.

                    The early people prior to 1960s believed in many different natural phenomenons and they give their own reasons for their occurrence. But later many researchers and geophysicists studied the formation of the earth and came with possible answers to these questions.

Thus the answer is  

" It was generally believed that mountains were produced by vertical forces."
