The intensity of a polarized electromagnetic wave is 12 w/m^2. part a) what will be the intensity after passing through a polarizing filter whose axis makes the angle θ=0∘ with the plane of polarization? part b) what will be the intensity after passing through a polarizing filter whose axis makes the angle θ=30∘ with the plane of polarization? part c) what will be the intensity after passing through a polarizing filter whose axis makes the angle θ=45∘ with the plane of polarization? part d) what will be the intensity after passing through a polarizing filter whose axis makes the angle θ=60∘ with the plane of polarization? part e) what will be the intensity after passing through a polarizing filter whose axis makes the angle θ=90∘ with the plane of polarization?

The two stars in a certain binary star system move in circular orbits. the first star, alpha, has an orbital speed of 36 km/s. the second star, beta, has an orbital speed of 12 km/s. the orbital period is 137 d. a) what is the mass of the star alpha? b) what is the mass of the star beta?

Agroup of monkeys is trying to cross the river in a rowboat. the maximum buoyant force on the rowboat is 2,000 n. the weight of the rowboat is 1,000 n. each monkey has a weight of 150 n. how many monkeys can safely cross in the rowboat at one time? explain your reasoning, including any calculations you used to find the answer.
