Only 35 % of the intensity of a polarized light wave passes through a polarizing filter. What is the angle between the electric

field and the axis of the filter
Physics
1 answer:
Nana76 [90]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The angle between the electric field and the axis of the filter is 54⁰

Explanation:

Apply the equation for intensity of light through a polarizer.

I = I_oCos^2 \theta

where;

I is the intensity of the transmitted light

I₀ is the intensity of the incident light

θ is the incident angle

If only 35 % of the intensity of a polarized light wave passes through a polarizing filter, then the ratio of the intensity of the transmitted light to that of the intensity of the incident light is given by;

\frac{I}{I_o}  = Cos^2 \theta\\\\\frac{35}{100} =  Cos^2 \theta\\\\Cos^2 \theta = 0.35\\\\Cos\theta = \sqrt{0.35} \\\\Cos\theta = 0.5916\\\\\theta = Cos^{-1}(0.5916)\\\\\theta  = 54 ^0

Therefore, the angle between the electric field and the axis of the filter is 54⁰

The tires on your truck have 0.35 m radius. In a straight line, you drive 2600 m. What is the angular displacement of the tire,
Travka [436]
1) In a circular motion, the angular displacement \theta is given by
\theta =  \frac{S}{r}
where S is the arc length and r is the radius. The problem says that the truck drove for 2600 m, so this corresponds to the total arc length covered by the tire: S=2600 m. Using the information about the radius, r=0.35 m, we find the total angular displacement:
\theta =  \frac{2600 m}{0.35 m} =7428 rad

2) If we put larger tires, with radius r=0.60 m, the angular displacement will be smaller. We can see this by using the same formula. In fact, this time we have:
\theta =  \frac{2600 m}{0.60 m}=4333 rad

. What is the single most important equation in all of physics?​
vivado [14]

Answer: F = ma,

Explanation:

the most famous equation in physics, establishing an equivalence between energy and mass. But is this the most important equation in physics? Knowledgeable scientists will tell you no. The most important equation in physics is F = ma, also known as Newton's second law of mechanics.

Calculate the propellant mass required to launch a 2000 kg spacecraft from a 180 km circular orbit on a Hohmann transfer traject
Finger [1]

Answer:

t = 12,105.96 sec

Explanation:

Given data:

weight of spacecraft is 2000 kg

circular orbit distance to saturn = 180 km

specific impulse = 300 sec

saturn orbit around the sun R_2 = 1.43 *10^9 km

earth orbit around the sun R_1= 149.6 * 10^ 6 km

time required for the mission is given as t

t = \frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{\mu_sun}} [\frac{1}{2}(R_1 + R_2)]^{3/2}

where

\mu_{sun} is gravitational parameter of sun =  1.32712 x 10^20 m^3 s^2.t = \frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{ 1.32712 x 10^{20}}} [\frac{1}{2}(149.6 * 10^ 6 +1.43 *10^9 )]^{3/2}

t = 12,105.96 sec

A golfer tees off and hits a golf ball at a speed of 31 m/s and at an angle of 35 degrees. What is the horizontal velocity compo
Sever21 [200]
The horizontal component of the velocity of the ball is calculated by multiplying the speed by the cosine of the given angle. 
                        x-component of speed = (31 m/s)(cos 35°) 
                                                               = 25.39 m/s
Thus, the horizontal velocity component of the ball is 25.39 m/s.
