Answer:

This is known as polarization.

Explanation:

Polarization is the phenomenon in which the vibrations of light are restricted in a particular direction, which is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave.

Tourmaline crystals work as a polarizer.

Polarization takes place only for transverse waves.

A truck is traveling down a road with a 4-percent grade at a speed of 75 mi/h when its brakes are applied to slow it down to 22.
kvasek [131]

Answer:

3.964 s

Explanation:

Metric unit conversion:

1 miles = 1.6 km = 1600 m.

1 hour = 60 minutes = 3600 seconds

75 mph = 75 * 1600 / 3600 = 33.3 m/s

22.5 mph = 22.5 * 1600/3600 = 10 m/s

Let g = 9.81 m/s2

Friction is the product of coefficient and normal force, which equals to the gravity

F_f = \mu N = \mu mg

The deceleration caused by friction is friction divided by mass according to Newton 2nd law.

a = F_f / m = \mu mg / m = \mu g = 0.6 *9.81 = 5.886 m/s^2

So the time required to decelerate from 33.3 m/s to 10 m/s so the wheels don't slide, with the rate of 5.886 m/s2 is

t = \frac{\Delta v}{a} = \frac{33.3 - 10}{5.886} = 3.964 s

Superman used X-ray vision to detect objects. Aside from a source of X-rays, what else would be needed for X-ray vision?
Arada [10]

Answer:

an absorber of x-ray

Explanation:

To make x-ray detection/vision work, you will need at least two items: a source of x-ray and absorbed or x-ray.  

The object you want to see itself doesn't have to be the source, but it has to absorb some of the rays instead. When doing a chest x-ray test, the medical employee will put your chest between absorber and source. The heart can absorb some of the rays so it will appear more white than lungs who made of air and won't absorb the rays.

If Katie swims from one end of the pool, to the other side, and then swims back to her original spot, her average velocity is ha
Crank

Answer:

false.

Explanation:

Ok, we define average velocity as the sum of the initial and final velocity divided by two.

Remember that the velocity is a vector, so it has a direction.

Then when she goes from the 1st end to the other, the velocity is positive

When she goes back, the velocity is negative

if both cases the magnitude of the velocity, the speed, is the same, then the average velocity is:

AV = (V + (-V))/2  = 0

While the average speed is the quotient between the total distance traveled (twice the length of the pool) and the time it took to travel it.

So we already can see that the average velocity will not be equal to half of the average speed.

The statement is false

A helicopter (m = 3250 kg) is cruising at a speed of 56.9 m/s atan altitude of 185 m. What is the total mechanical energy of the
taurus [48]

Answer:

The mechanical energy of the helicopter is 1.12\times 10^7\ J.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the helicopter, m = 3250 kg

Speed of the helicopter, v = 56.9 m/s

Position of the helicopter, h = 185 m

The energy possessed by an object due to its motion is called its kinetic energy. It is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3250\times (56.9)^2  

E=5.26\times 10^6\ J

The energy possessed by an object due to its position is called its potential energy. It is given by :

E=mgh

E=3250\times 9.8\times 185  

E=5.89\times 10^6\ J

The sum of kinetic and potential energy is called mechanical energy of the system. It is given by :

M=5.26\times 10^6+5.89\times 10^6

M=11.15\times 10^6\ J

or

M=1.12\times 10^7\ J

So, the mechanical energy of the helicopter is 1.12\times 10^7\ J. Hence, this is the required solution.
