C.the acceleration is doubled
Answer:

Explanation:
When the unpolarized light passes through the first polarizer, only the component of the light parallel to the axis of the polarizer passes through.
Therefore, after the first polarizer, the intensity of light passing through it is halved, so the intensity after the first polarizer is:

Then, the light passes through the second polarizer. In this case, the intensity of the light passing through the 2nd polarizer is given by Malus' law:

where
is the angle between the axes of the two polarizer
Here we have

So the intensity after the 2nd polarizer is

And substituting the expression for I1, we find:

The independent variable is the different amount of repellent each person is given. This is because it does not depend on any variable. The dependent variable is what they are measuring, which would be the number of bites on each volunteer.
I hope this helps! :)
KE= 1/2 mv^2
Kinetic Energy is equal to 1/2 x mass x velocity squared
The mass of the larger ball has TWICE
the kinetic energy. KE is directly proportional to the mass.
