Answer:

Compressions

Explanation:

A longitudinal wave is a wave in which the direction of propagation of the wave and the direction of the displacement of the particles of the wave are parallel.

As the wave propagates, the particles do not move, but, oscillate back and forth about their equilibrium position, and there are thus regions of high pressure called compressions and regions of low pressure called rarefactions.

The amplitude is thus the distance between successive compressions.

A vertically polarized beam of light of intensity 100 W/m2 passes through two ideal polarizers. The transmission axis of the fir

TEA [102]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the Malus Law. Malus's law indicates that the intensity of a linearly polarized beam of light, which passes through a perfect analyzer with a vertical optical axis is equivalent to:

$I=I_0 cos^2\theta$

Where,

$I_ {0}$ indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer,

I is the resulting intensity, and

$\theta$ indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light.

Since we have two objects the law would be,

$I=I_0cos^2\theta_1*cos^2(\theta_2-\theta_1)$

Replacing the values,

$I=100*cos^2(20)*cos^2(40-20)$

$I=100*cos^4(20)$

$I=77.91W/m^2$

Therefore the intesity of the light after it has passes through both polarizers is $77.91W/m^2$

Jada is rowing a boat across a river that has a current of 5 m/s in the ˆ j direction. Leanne, standing on the shore, observes J

olchik [2.2K]

Answer: d. 8.25 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that Current= 5 m/s in j direction

Velocity= 8 m/s i + 3 m/s j

Now, we have to find Jada's speed with respect to the water.

First we find Jada's velocity with respect to water

v= (8 i + 3 j) - (5 j)

v= 8i - 2 j

To find the speed, we take the magnitude of this velocity vector we have

|v|= $\sqrt{(8)^2+(-2)^2}$

|v|= $\sqrt{68}$ = 8.246 m/s

which comes out to be around = 8.25 m/s

So option d is correct.

A long, current-carrying solenoid with an air core has 1800 turns per meter of length and a radius of 0.0165 m. A coil of 210 tu

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The mutual inductance is $M = 0.000406 \ H$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The number of turns per unit length is $N = 1800$

The radius is $r = 0.0165 \ m$

The number of turns of the solenoid is $N_s = 210 \ turns$

Generally the mutual inductance of the system is mathematically represented as

$M = \mu_o * N * N_s * A$

Where A is the cross-sectional area of the system which is mathematically represented as

$A = \pi * r^2$

substituting values

$A = 3.142 * (0.0165)^2$

$A = 0.0008554 \ m^2$

also $\mu_o$ is the permeability of free space with the value $\mu_o = 4\pi * 10^{-7} N/A^2$

$M = 4\pi * 10^{-7} *1800 * 210 * 0.0008554$

$M = 0.000406 \ H$

Calculate the work done by a 50.0 N force on an object as it moves 9.00 m, if the force is oriented at an angle of 135° from the

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Work done, W = -318.19 Joules

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting on the object, F = 50 N

Distance covered by the force, d = 9 m

Angle between the force and the distance traveled, $\theta=135^{\circ}$

The work done by an object is equal to the product of force and distance traveled. It is equal to the dot product of force and the distance. Mathematically, it is given by :

$W=Fd\ cos\theta$

$W=50\times 9\times \ cos(135)$

W = -318.19 Joules

So, the work done by the force is 318.19 Joules. The work is done in opposite to the direction of motion. Hence, this is the required solution.
