Answer:

a) 0.750

Explanation:

When the unpolarized light passes through the first polarizer, it becomes polarized along the axis of transmission of the polarizer itself.

Then, the light passes through the second polarizer, whose axis of transmission is inclined by an angle \theta with respect to the direction of polarization of the light.

Calling I_0 the initial intensity of the light, the intensity of light passing through the second filter is

I=I_0 cos^2 \theta

where

\theta=30^{\circ}

Solving the formula for \frac{I}{I_0}, which is the fraction of the incident intensity transmitted through the second polarizer, we find

\frac{I}{I_0}=cos^2 \theta = cos^2 30^{\circ}=0.750

A. What did the neuron say to the muscle say? (Use your basic physiological knowledge, such as the function of
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Somatic motor neurons originate in the central nervous system, project their axons to skeletal muscles (such as the muscles of the limbs, abdominal, and intercostal muscles), which are involved in locomotion.

Explanation:

Muscles move on commands from the brain. Single nerve cells in the spinal cord, called motor neurons, are the only way the brain connects to muscles. When a motor neuron inside the spinal cord fires, an impulse goes out from it to the muscles on a long, very thin extension of that single cell called an axon.

Guillaume puts a bottle of soft drink in a refrigerator and leaves it there until its temperature has dropped 15.1 K.
Zarrin [17]

Answer: (a) The magnitude of its temperature change in degrees Celsius is 15.1^{o}C.

(b) The magnitude of the temperature change (change in T = 15.1 K) in degrees Fahrenheit is 27.2^{o}F.

Explanation:

(a)  Expression for change in temperature is as follows.

        |\Delta T| = |x - y|K

                         = 15.1 K

                    = |(x - 273.15) - (y - 273.15)|^{o}C

                    = |x - y|^{o}C

                    = 15.1^{o}C

Therefore, the magnitude of its temperature change in degrees Celsius is 15.1^{o}C.

(b)  Change in temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit is as follows.

           F = 1.8C + 32

          C = \frac{F - 32}{1.8}

Since,   K = C + 273

or,    \Delta K = \Delta C = \frac{\Delta F}{1.8}

         \Delta F = 1.8 \Delta K

                      = 1.8 (15.1)

                      = 27.18^{o}F

or,                  = 27.2^{o}F

Thus, we can conclude that the magnitude of the temperature change (change in T = 15.1 K) in degrees Fahrenheit is 27.2^{o}F.

Part K Find the y-component of the stone's velocity when it is 8.00 m below your hand
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

The y-component of the stone's velocity when it is 8 m below the hand is 14.86 m / s

v² = u² + 2 a s

s = Displacement

u = Initial velocity

a = Acceleration

u = 8 m / s

s = 8 m

v² = 8² + 2 * 9.8 * 8

v² = 64 + 156.8

v = √ 220.8

v = 14.86 m / s

The equation used to solve the problem is an equation of motion. These equations are designed to locate an object in motion using components such as velocity, displacement, acceleration and time.

Therefore, the y-component of the stone's velocity is 14.86 m / s
