Unpolarized light with intensity s is incident on a series of polarizing sheets. the first sheet has its transmission axis oriented at 0°. a second polarizer has its transmission axis oriented at 45° and a third polarizer oriented with its axis at 90°. determine the fraction of light intensity exiting the third sheet with and without the second sheet present.

Which subatomic particle has a negative charge

Consider a u-tube whose arms are open to the atmosphere. now equal volumes of water and light oil (ρ = 49.3 lbm/ft3) are poured from different arms. a person blows from the oil side of the u-tube until the contact surface of the two fluids moves to the bottom of the u-tube, and therefore, the liquid levels in the two arms are the same. if the fluid height in each arm is 30 in, determine the gage pressure exerted by the person on the oil by blowing.

Determine the time it takes for a satellite to orbit the earth in a circular "near-earth" orbit. the definition of "near-earth" orbit is one which is at a height above the surface of the earth which is small compared to the radius of the earth, so that you may take the acceleration due to gravity as essentially the same as that on the surface. does your result depend on the mass of the satellite?
