Seconds squared is the time unit of acceleration. It represents the change in distance units per second per second. For example, 3 m/sec² means a distance covering 3 meters in the first second, then 9 meters in the 2nd second, and 37 meters in the third second. (3^1, 3^2, 3^3).
Acceleration is part of Newton's 2nd law: force = mass x acceleration. Units of work: joule = kg·m²/s², and power: watts = kg·m²/s³ all contain accelerations.
Displacement only measure how far between the starting and ending point. In this case, Lisa walks around the block as a circle so the starting point is the same as the ending point. Thus, displacement is 0mile.
On the other hand, distance measures exactly how far she walks. In this case, the distance is 1 mile, same as the perimeter of the block.
Answer:
a) I₁ = 11.2 Lux
, vertical direction
, b) I₂ = 1.44 Lux
Explanation:
a) A polarized is a system that absorbs light that is not polarized in the direction of its axis, therefore half of the non-polarized light must be absorbed
consequently the above the processed light has half of the incident intensity and the directional of the polarized
I₁ = I₀ / 2
I₁ = 22.4 / 2
I₁ = 11.2 Lux
is polarized in the vertical direction
b) The polarized light falls on a second polarizer, therefore it must comply with the law of Malus
I₂ = I₁ cos² θ
I₂ = 11.2 cos² 69
I₂ = 1.44 Lux
You can calculate potential energy by:
U = m.g.h
Where, U = potential energy
m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height
Hope this helps!
