Answer:

Relative to the ground, the velocity of the aircraft is 240 km/hr

Explanation:

Relative velocity is different from normal velocity;

When 2 objects are moving in opposite directions towards each other, they will appear to be faster than they actually are;

This is known as the relative velocity;

The information tells us we have the aircraft moving 320 km/hr northwards relative to the wind;

The wind is in the opposite direction at 80 km/hr;

R = relative velocity of the aircraft

v = actual velocity of the aircraft

w = velocity of the wind

R = v + w

Note: if the wind was moving in the same direction, the formula would be R = v - w

320 = v + 80

v = 320 - 80

v = 240

The velocity relative to the ground is simply the actual velocity as the ground doesn't move;

So, relative to the ground, the velocity of the aircraft is simply 240 km/hr

Unpolarized light of intensity I=10 falls on two successive polarizer wheels with the angle between the polarizer wheels e-60°.
yan [13]

Answer:

I=\frac{10}{4}

Explanation:

A polarizer changes the orientation of the oscillations of a light wave.

I₀ = Intensity of unpolarized light = 10

θ = Angle given to the polarizer = 60°

Intensity of light

I = I₀cos²θ

⇒I = 10cos²60

\\\Rightarrow I=10\times \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{10}{4}

So, the after passing through the second polarizer is \mathbf{\frac{10}{4}}

PLEASE HELP ASAP
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

<em>The first choice (32m/s) is the closest to the answer</em>

Explanation:

The magnitude of a vector is the distance between the initial and the end point of the vector.

Being Vx and Vy the horizontal and vertical components of the vector V respectively, the magnitude of V is calculated as:

\mid \vec{V} \mid =\sqrt{V_x^2+V_y^2}

The components of the velocity of the physics student's projectile launcher are Vx=28 m/s and Vy=15 m/s.

Calculate the magnitude of the velocity:

\mid \vec{V} \mid =\sqrt{28^2+15^2}

\mid \vec{V} \mid =\sqrt{784+225}

\mid \vec{V} \mid =\sqrt{1009}

\mid \vec{V} \mid =31.8 \ m/s

The first choice (32m/s) is the closest to the answer
