________b_____ 7 km east

| 2km north.

pythagorean theorem : ✓a² + b² = c²

c² = a² + b² = 4 + 49 = 53

c = ✓53 km

displacement = c = ✓53 km

distance = 10 + 3 + 2 = 15 km

A horizontal beam of light of intensity 25 W/m2 is sent through two polarizing sheets. The polarizing direction of the first mak

Zina [86]

Answer:

option (B)

Explanation:

Intensity of unpolarised light, I = 25 W/m^2

When it passes from first polarisr, the intensity of light becomes

$I'=\frac{I_{0}}{2}=\frac{25}{2}=12.5 W/m^{2}$

Let the intensity of light as it passes from second polariser is I''.

According to the law of Malus

$I'' = I' Cos^{2}\theta$

Where, θ be the angle between the axis first polariser and the second polariser.

$I'' = 12.5\times Cos^{2}15$

I'' = 11.66 W/m^2

I'' = 11.7 W/m^2

A wire that is 0.65 m long and carrying a current of 8.2 A is at right angles to a uniform magnetic field. The force on the wire

Luda [366]

Answer:

0.075 T

Explanation:

When a current-carrying wire is immersed in a region with magnetic field, the wire experiences a force, given by

$F=ILB sin \theta$

where

I is the current in the wire

L is the length of the wire

B is the strength of the magnetic field

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of I and B

In this problem we have:

L = 0.65 m is the length of the wire

I = 8.2 A is the current in the wire

F = 0.40 N is the force experienced by the wire

$\theta=90^{\circ}$ since the current is at right angle with the magnetic field

Solving the formula for B, we find the strength of the magnetic field:

$B=\frac{F}{IL sin \theta}=\frac{0.40}{(8.2)(0.65)(sin 90^{\circ})}=0.075 T$
