In an elastic collision, _______ energy is conserved.

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 $77.91W/m^2$

A 0.750 kg block is attached to a spring with spring constant 17.5 N/m. While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it wi

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

a

$A = 0.081 \ m$

b

The value is $u = 0.2569 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass is $m = 0.750 \ kg$

The spring constant is $k = 17.5 \ N/m$

The instantaneous speed is $v = 39.0 \ cm/s= 0.39 \ m/s$

The position consider is x = 0.750A meters from equilibrium point

Generally from the law of energy conservation we have that

The kinetic energy induced by the hammer = The energy stored in the spring

So

$\frac{1}{2} * m * v^2 = \frac{1}{2} * k * A^2$

Here a is the amplitude of the subsequent oscillations

=> $A = \sqrt{\frac{m * v^ 2 }{ k} }$

=> $A = \sqrt{\frac{0.750 * 0.39 ^ 2 }{17.5} }$

=> $A = 0.081 \ m$

Generally from the law of energy conservation we have that

The kinetic energy by the hammer = The energy stored in the spring at the point considered + The kinetic energy at the considered point

$\frac{1}{2} * m * v^2 = \frac{1}{2} * k x^2 + \frac{1}{2} * m * u^2$

=> $\frac{1}{2} * 0.750 * 0.39^2 = \frac{1}{2} * 17.5* 0.750(0.081 )^2 + \frac{1}{2} * 0.750 * u^2$

=> $u = 0.2569 \ m/s$

Answer:

v₁f = 0.5714 m/s (→)

v₂f = 2.5714 m/s (→)

e = 1

It was a perfectly elastic collision.

Explanation:

m₁ = m

m₂ = 6m₁ = 6m

v₁i = 4 m/s

v₂i = 2 m/s

v₁f = ((m₁ – m₂) / (m₁ + m₂)) v₁i + ((2m₂) / (m₁ + m₂)) v₂i

v₁f = ((m – 6m) / (m + 6m)) * (4) + ((2*6m) / (m + 6m)) * (2)

v₁f = 0.5714 m/s (→)

v₂f = ((2m₁) / (m₁ + m₂)) v₁i + ((m₂ – m₁) / (m₁ + m₂)) v₂i

v₂f = ((2m) / (m + 6m)) * (4) + ((6m -m) / (m + 6m)) * (2)

v₂f = 2.5714 m/s (→)

e = - (v₁f - v₂f) / (v₁i - v₂i) ⇒ e = - (0.5714 - 2.5714) / (4 - 2) = 1

It was a perfectly elastic collision.

Elenna [48]

Thank you for posting your Physics question here. I hope the answer helps. Upon calculating the ramp with the horizontal the answer is 20.49 Deg. Below is the solution:

Y = 7 m.
r = 20 m. 

sinA = Y/r = 7/20 = 0.35. 
A = 20.49 Deg.
