Answer:

a.0.5 Io

Explanation:

The fraction of light passing through the first polarizer will be

$I_1=\frac{I_0}{2}=0.5I_0$

The fraction of light passing through the second polarizer will be

$I_2=0.5I_0cos^2\theta$

where

$\theta$ = Angle between the filters

here, as the transmission directions are parallel to one another

$\theta=0$

$I_2=0.5I_0cos^20\\\Rightarrow I_2=0.5I_0\\\Rightarrow I_2=I_1$

Hence, $0.5I_0$ will pass through both filters

Answer:

$T=51.64^\circ F$

$t=180.10s$

Explanation:

The Newton's law in this case is:

$T(t)=T_m+Ce^{kt}$

Here, $T_m$ is the air temperture, C and k are constants.

We have

$70^\circ F$ in $t=0$

So:

$T(0)=70^\circ F\\T(0)=10^\circ F+Ce^{k(0)}\\70^\circ F=10^\circ F+C\\C=70^\circ F-10^\circ F=60^\circ F$

And we have $60^\circ F$ in $t=30 s$ , So:

$T(30)=60^\circ F\\T(30)=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{k(30)}\\60^\circ F=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{k(30)}\\50^\circ F=(60^\circ F)e^{k(30)}\\e^{k(30)}=\frac{50^\circ F}{60^\circ F}\\(30)k=ln(\frac{50}{60})\\k=\frac{ln(\frac{50}{60})}{30}=-0.0061$

Now, we have:

$T=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{-0.0061t}(1)$

Applying (1) for $t=1 min=60s$ :

$T=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{-0.0061*60}\\T=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)0.694\\T=10^\circ F+41.64^\circ F\\T=51.64^\circ F$

Applying (1) for $T=30^\circ F$ :

$30^\circ F=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{-0.0061t}\\30^\circ F-10^\circ F=(60^\circ F)e^{-0.0061t}\\-0.0061t=ln(\frac{20}{60})\\t=\frac{ln(\frac{20}{60})}{-0.0061}=180.10s$

Find the equivalent resistance of this

MAXImum [283]

Explanation:

1/R = 1/R1 + 1/ R2

1/R = 1/960 + 1/640

1/R = 5 / 1920

<h3> R = 384 ohm </h3>

So , Req = 384 + R3

Req = 384 + 180

<h3> Req = 564 ohm</h3>
