To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the law of Malus which describes the change in the Intensity of Light when it crosses a polarized surface.
Mathematically the expression is given as
Where,
= Initial Intensity
I = Final Intensity after pass through the polarizer
= Angle between the polarizer and the light
Since it is sought to reduce the intensity by half the relationship between the two intensities will be given as
Using the Malus Law we have,
Angle with respect to maximum is
Answer:
The time taken to stop the box equals 1.33 seconds.
Explanation:
Since frictional force always acts opposite to the motion of the box we can find the acceleration that the force produces using newton's second law of motion as shown below:
Given mass of box = 5.0 kg
Frictional force = 30 N
thus
Now to find the time that the box requires to stop can be calculated by first equation of kinematics
The box will stop when it's final velocity becomes zero
Here acceleration is taken as negative since it opposes the motion of the box since frictional force always opposes motion.

To calculate the gravitational potential energy (G.P.E) of the ceiling fan:
<h3>What is gravitational potential energy?</h3>Gravitational potential energy (G.P.E) can be defined as the energy that is possessed by an object or body due to its position (height) above planet Earth.
Mathematically, gravitational potential energy (G.P.E) is given by this formula;
<u>Where:</u>
Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;
GPE = 712.95 Joules.
