Vertically polarized light with an intensity of 36.8 lux passes through a polarizer whose transmission axis is an angle of 51.0°

with the vertical. What is the intensity and direction of transmitted light? If the second polarizer whose transmission axis is an angle of 88.0° with the vertical is placed after first polarizer, what is the intensity of transmitted light?

Answer:

0.01774 lux

Explanation:

I_0 = Polarized light intensity = 36.8 lux

\theta = Angle

Through first filter

I_1=I_0cos^2\theta\\\Rightarrow I_1=36.8cos^2{51}\\\Rightarrow I_1=14.57\ lux

Through second filter

I_2=I_1cos^2\theta\\\Rightarrow I_2=14.57cos^2{88}\\\Rightarrow I_2=0.01774\ lux

intensity of transmitted light is 0.01774 lux

Use the momentum equation for photons found in this week's notes, the wavelength you found in #3, and Plank’s constant (6.63E-34
Nostrana [21]
To help you I need to assume a wavelength and then calculate the momentum.

The momentum equation for photons is:

p = h / λ , this is the division of Plank's constant by the wavelength.

Assuming λ = 656 nm = 656 * 10 ^ - 9 m, which is the wavelength calcuated in a previous problem, you get:

p = (6.63 * 10 ^-34 ) / (656 * 10 ^ -9) kg * m/s

p = 1.01067 * 10^ - 27 kg*m/s which  must be rounded to three significant figures.

With that, p = 1.01 * 10 ^ -27 kg*m/s

The answers are rounded to only 2 significan figures, so our number rounded to 2 significan figures is 1.0 * 10 ^ - 27 kg*m/s

So, assuming the wavelength λ = 656 nm, the answer is the first option: 1.0*10^-27 kg*m/s.

Small frogs that are good jumpers are capable of remarkable accelerations. One species reaches a takeoff speed of3.7 m/s in60 ms
MAVERICK [17]

We know that acceleration is change in velocity by time taken for that change.

In this case velocity change is 3.7 m/s

Time taken for this change = 60 ms = 6 *10^{-3} seconds

So acceleration of frog  = \frac{3.7}{60*10^{-3}}

                                       = 61.66 m/s^2

So acceleration of frog is 61.66 m/s^2

o it is evident that frog is capable of remarkable accelerations.

The U.S. Department of Energy had plans for a 1500-kg automobile to be powered completely by the rotational kinetic energy of a
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

230

Explanation:

\omega = Rotational speed = 3600 rad/s

I = Moment of inertia = 6 kgm²

m = Mass of flywheel = 1500 kg

v = Velocity = 15 m/s

The kinetic energy of flywheel is given by

K=\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}6\times 3600^2\\\Rightarrow K=38880000\ J

Energy used in one acceleration

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}1500\times 15^2\\\Rightarrow K=168750\ J

Number of accelerations would be given by

n=\dfrac{38880000}{168750}\\\Rightarrow n=230.4

So the number of complete accelerations is 230

A particle in the first excited state of a one-dimensional infinite potential energy well (with U = 0 inside the well) has an en
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The energy of this particle in the ground state is E₁=1.5 eV.

Explanation:

The energy E_{n} of a particle of mass <em>m</em> in the <em>n</em>th energy state of an infinite square well potential with width <em>L </em>is:

                                                    E_{n}=\frac{n^{2}h^{2}}{8mL^{2}}

In the ground state (n=1). In the first excited state (n=2) we are told the energy is E₂= 6.0 eV. If we replace in the above equation we get that:

                                                    E_{1}=\frac{h^{2}}{8mL^{2}}            

                                                    E_{2}=\frac{h^{2}}{2mL^{2}}

So we can rewrite the energy in the ground state as:

                                                   E_{1}=\frac{1}{4}(\frac{h^{2}}{2mL^{2}})

                                                      E_{1}=\frac{1}{4} E_{2}

                                                   E_{1}=\frac{1}{4} ( 6.0\ eV)

Finally

                                                    E_{1}=1.5\ eV

an elastic cord 61 cm long when a weight of 75N hangs from it, but 85cm when a weight of 210N hangs from it. what is the spring
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

560 N/m

Explanation:

F = kx

75 N = k (0.61 m − L)

210 N = k (0.85 m − L)

Divide the equations:

2.8 = (0.85 − L) / (0.61 − L)

2.8 (0.61 − L) = 0.85 − L

1.708 − 2.8L = 0.85 − L

0.858 = 1.8L

L = 0.477

Plug into either equation and find k.

75 = k (0.61 − 0.477)

k = 562.5

Rounded to two significant figures, k = 560 N/m.
