Plane-polarized light is incident on a single polarizing disk, with the direction of E0 parallel to the direction of the transmi

ssion axis. Through what angle should the disk be rotated so that the intensity in the transmitted beam is reduced by a factor of 6.00?

Answer: 65.9^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given

Intensity must be reduced by a factor of 6

Intensity is given by I=I_o\cos ^2\theta\\

Substitute I by \frac{I_o}{6}

\Rightarrow \dfrac{I_o}{6}=I_o\cos ^2\theta\\\\\Rightarrow \cos^2\theta =\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow \cos \theta=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{6}}\\\\\Rightarrow \theta=65.9^{\circ}

So, the disk must be rotated by an angle of 65.9^{\circ} .

Which of the following frequencies falls in the range of RF waves used by commercial radio broadcasting stations?
erma4kov [3.2K]

A).  600,000 Hz  or  600 KHz
Yes.  Commercial broadcasters operate here.
This is the '600' on your AM radio dial.

B).  60 Hz
No.  In principle, this frequency might be used for communication or
commercial broadcasting, but it suffers from two inconvenient truths:
-- An efficient antenna for 60 Hz ... either transmitting or receiving ...
needs to be almost 780 miles long.
-- This is the frequency of the electric power utility in the US and
Canada, so every outlet, wire, cable, lamp cord, and electric line
on a pole RADIATES a little bit of signal at this frequency.  That's
an awful lot of interference.

C).  6,000,000 Hz  or  6 MHz
There's a lot of broadcasting activity here, but it's not commercial
music, news, and sports into local homes and cars. 
It's foreign short-wave broadcast, bringing news, propaganda, and
culture from one country to another.  Pretty interesting to browse.

D).  6,000 Hz  or  6 KHz.
No.  Not used for communication, for an interesting reason:
This frequency is smack in the middle of the human hearing range.
So if it were used for communication ... with high-power transmitters
here and there ... then you wouldn't hear it in the air.  But wherever
wires were being used to carry sound ... your stereo's speaker wires,
wires from your player to your ear-buds, wires to the telephones in
your house etc ... the wires would act as antennas, picking up 
broadcasts at 6 KHz, and the broadcasts would get into everything.
Not a smart plan.

An object is moving to the right in a straight line. The net force acting on the object is also directed to the right, but the m
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

A) continue to move to the right, with its speed increasing with time.

Explanation:

As long as force is positive , even when it is decreasing , it will create positive increase in velocity . Hence the body will keep moving with increasing velocity towards the right . The moment the force becomes zero on continuously decreasing , the increase in velocity stops and the body will be moving with the last velocity uniformly towards right . When the force acting on it becomes negative , even then the body will keep on going to the right till negative force makes its velocity zero . D uring this period , the body will keep moving towards right with decreasing velocity .

Hence in the present case A , is the right choice.

A go-cart and rider have a mass of 14 kg. If the cart accelerates at 6m/s^2 during a 40 m sprint in 100 seconds, how much power
lara [203]

Answer:

P = 33.6 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

∑F = m*a

where:

F = forces [N]

m = mass = 14 [kg]

a = acceleration = 6 [m/s²]

F = 14*6\\F = 84 [N]

In the second part of this problem we must find the work done, where the work in physics is known as the product of force by distance, it is important to make it clear that force must be applied in the direction of movement.

W = F*d

where:

W = work [J]

F = force = 84 [N]

d = displaciment = 40 [m]

W = 84*40\\W = 3360 [J]

Finally, the power can be calculated by the relationship between the work performed in a given time interval.

P=W/t\\

where:

P = power [W]

W = work = 3360 [J]

t = time = 100 [s]

Now replacing:

P=3360/100\\P=33.6[W]

The power is given in watts

Early humans used rocks as tools to make other things as well as to construct buildings. Why was it better for them to use rocks
babymother [125]
Wood isn't as tough as rock. Wood also breaks down in weather and cracks under pressure. Plus rocks were more accessible.
