Answer:

a)    I= I₀ (cos²θ - cos⁴θ)    b) 75.5º

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we must use Malus's law

         I = I₀ cos² θ

where tea is the angle between the two polarizers.

We apply this expression to our case

* Polarizer 1 suppose that it is vertical and polarizer 2 (intermediate) is at an angle θ with respect to the vertical

         I₁ = I₀ cos² θ

* We analyze for the polarity 2 and the last polarizer 3 which indicate that it must be at 90º from the first one, therefore it must be horizontal.

The angle of polarizers 2 and 3 is θ' measured from the horizontal, if we measure with respect to the vertical

              θ₂ = 90- θ’ = θ

fiate that in the exercise we must take a reference system and measure everything with respect to this system.

          I = I₁ cos² θ'

       

we substitute

         I = (I₀ cos² tea) cos² (θ - 90)

        cos (θ -90) = cos θ cos 90 + sin θ sin 90 = sin θ

         I = Io cos² θ sin² θ

        1= cos²θ+ sin²θ

       sin²θ = 1 - cos²θ

        I= I₀ (cos²θ - cos⁴θ)

b) to find when the intensity is maximum,

we can use that we have an extreme point when the drift is zero

          \frac{dI}{d \theta} = 0

          \frac{dI}{d \theta}= Io (2 cos θ - 4 cos³θ) = 0

whereby

            cos θ - 2 cos³ θ = 0

            cos θ ( 1 - 2 cos² θ) = 0  

The zeros of this function are in

           θ = 90º

           1-2cos²θ =0       cos θ = 0.25  θ =  75.5º

Let's analyze this two results for the angle of 90º the intnesidd is zero with respect to the first polarizer, so it is not an acceptable solution.

Consequently, the angle that allows the maximum intensity to pass is 75.5º

To solve this problem, we are going to use the formula for work which is Fd where x and y are measured separately.

 

X direction: W = 13.5 x 230 = 3105 Joules

Y direction: W = -14.3 x -165 = 2360 Joules

So the total work is getting the sum of the two: 3105 + 2360 = 5465 Joules

Alice kicks a 0.25 kg soccer ball with 0.5 N of force. What force does the ball exert on Alice’s foot as she kicks it
Lelechka [254]
You do not doubt it. The third Law of Newton really works. I would say it is the most reliable law of the Universe. Action and reaction. It is not subject to special conditions, it works always. If an object exerts a force over other object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude but in the opposed direction over the first.

So, the answer, undoubtedly, is that the ball exerts a force of 0.5 N over Alices's foot as she kicks it.
