Imagine that a small boy and his much larger father are enjoying a winter morning, sliding along the ice on a nearby playground. make a hypothesis: who do you think would be slowed down more by frictional forces on the ice, the small child or the large adult?

At very high pressures, gases become and will eventually a) more dense; become hotter b) more dense; change to a liquid or solid c) less dense; combust d) less dense; turn into a liquid

Alinearly polarized electromagnetic wave has an average intensity of 196 w/m^2. this wave is directed towards two ideal polarizers (in real polarizers, transmission is also effected by reflection and absorption). polarizer a is oriented with its transmission axis at an angle of θ_1=20.8∘ with the incident electric field. polarizer b has its axis at an angle of θ_2=63.0∘ with the incident electric field. what is the average intensity of the wave after it passes through polarizer a? what is the average intensity of the wave after it passes through polarizer b? suppose that the two polarizers a and b are interchanged. what would the average intensity be after passing through both polarizers?

Apair of 10μf capacitors in a high-power laser are charged to 1.7 kv.a. what charge is stored in each capacitor? b. how much energy is stored in each capacitor?
