This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Unpolarized light passes through two Polaroid sheets. The transmission axis of the second polarizing filter makes an angle of 34° with the axis of the first polarizer. What fraction of the original unpolarized light is transmitted through the second polarizing filter?

Answer: the fraction of the original unpolarized light transmitted through the second polarizing filter is 0.343

Explanation:

We know that when Unpolarized light passes through first polarizer, it's intensity will be reduced to half  i.e

I1 = I0/2

Now after that when light passes through 2nd polarizer, Intensity will be;

I2 = I1 × (cos A1)²  

but  I1 = I0/2

so

I2 = (I0/2) × (cos A1)²

I2/I0 = 0.5 × (cos A1)²

In the question we were given that; The transmission axis of the second polarizing filter makes an angle of 34° with the axis of the first polarizer

so A = 34°

so we substitute

I2/I0 = 0.5 × (cos 34)²

I2/I0 = 0.343

Therefore the fraction of the original unpolarized light transmitted through the second polarizing filter is 0.343

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Here, he is able both to share his own suffering and—in a way that Mammy cannot—insist on his love for Laila. Babi's dream for leaving Afghanistan is, ironically, based in his love for the country—a love he thinks can be better kept alive by continuing to celebrate its culture and cuisine abroad.JThe nucleus of some isotopes will spontaneously undergo nuclear decay. These isotopes are said to be radioactive. What causes the nucleus of an isotope to be radioactive?

The electric force and nuclear forces are in opposition to each other

Nuclear forces disintegrate protons

There are too many electrons in its orbitals

The electric force causes electrons to be released

(please help i genuinely cant find out why)Babi had wanted Laila and Tariq to understand their country's living, breathing heritage—a heritage quite apart from the violence and turmoil of the national wars. The Buddhas, testimony to an ancient community of monks that lived in caves within the cliffs, symbolize the cultural richness of this national heritageAs an unstable atom tries to reach a stable form, energy and matter are released from the nucleus. This spontaneous change in the nucleus is called radioactive decay. When there is a change in the nucleus and one element changes into another, it is called transmutation.Carbon-14 is unstable and undergoes radioactive decay with a half-life of about 5,730 years (meaning that half of the material will be gone after 5,730 years). This decay means the amount of carbon-14 in an object serves as a clock, showing the object's age in a process called “carbon dating.”Nuclear decay occurs when the nucleus of an atom is unstable and spontaneously emits energy in the form of radiation. The result is that the nucleus changes into the nucleus of one or more other elements. These daughter nuclei have a lower mass and are more stable (lower in energy) than the parent nucleus.

A boat has a mass of 6800 kg. Its engines generate a drive force of 4100 N due west, while the wind exerts a force of 800 N due
mezya [45]

Answer:

The boat's acceleration are:  a= 0.3 m/s² in west direction.

Explanation:

Fm= 4100 N

Fwi= 800 N

Fwa= 1200 N

Fm - Fwi - Fwa= m *a

clearing a:

a= 0.3 m/s²

If something is 50% efficient, how many joules of wasted energy will there be if 750J of energy is put in?
evablogger [386]

Answer:

375J of wasted energy

Explanation:

Efficiency=work output/work input×100%

50=w.o/750×100

750×50=100w.o

w.o=750×50/100

w.o=75×5

w.o=375J

Wasted energy=750J-375J

=375J

Aliter

If the machine is 50% efficient then it is also 50% inefficient

50%×750J=375J
