The 8.8 n weight is in equilibrium under the influence of the three forces acting on it. the f force acts from above on the left at an angle of α with the horizontal. the 6.7 n force acts from above on the right at an angle of 56◦ with the horizontal. the force 8.8 n acts straight down. f 6.7 n 8.8 n 56 ◦ α what is the magnitude of the force f? answer in units of n.

An initially unpolarized light if intensity 500 w/m^2 passes through four polarizers. the transmission axis between adjacent polarizers is 45∘. what percentage of the initial intensity is transmitted by the system?

Unpolarized light falls on two polarizer sheets whose transmission axes are at right angles. a third polarizer is placed between the first two so that its axis makes a 52-degree angle with the axis of the first polarizer. a) what fraction of the incident light intensity is transmitted through the first polaroid? b) what fraction of the incident light intensity is transmitted through the second polaroid? c) what is the angle of polarization of the light that enters the third polaroid? d) what fraction of the incident light intensity is transmitted through the third polaroid. e) what happens if the middle polaroid is removed?

Which one of the following terms is used to indicate the natural tendency of an object to remain at rest or in motion at a constant speed along a straight line? velocity acceleration equilibrium force inertia
