Most Light Through Polarizing Filters: 0, 45, 90
Which combo of polarizing filters allows most light to pass through? Each orientation is given with respect to vertical unit of following values given are angles: 1. 0, 45, 90 2. 30, 60, 90 3. 180, 0, 180 4. 90, 135, 180 5. 10,20,100 I tried by using the formulas: I1=0.5Inought...- solars

How High Will the Soccer Ball Be at the Goal?
A young soccer player stands 25 m in front of the goal. He kicks the ball at a speed of 20 m/s. The goal is 2.44 m high. What is the height of the ball when it reaches the goal? 1. 0 m (the ball is on the ground) 2. 1.15 m (the ball goes into the goal) 3. 6.26 m (the ball sails over the...- solars

Photoelectric effect and current
I looked at the electromagnetic spectrum. By bluer does it mean a darker blue, if so the wavelength decreases so frequency increases. But the other choice says making the light brighter does that mean increasing intensity or just making it go for let's say blue to yellow?- solars

Yah I see now, but I know the correct answer but wasn't able to get it, so that was why I knew it was wrong.- solars

Girl falling out of helicopter - kinematics
A girl in a helicopter falls out when it was rising vertically at 10 m/s. The girl has a rope tied to her harness so she can be retireved. After 2.5 secs, how much rope has been pulled out of the helicopter? I know that this is essentially asking you to find the height that the helicopter...- solars

Fusion vs Fission: Energy Releasing Comparison
Fusion reaction is not possible at room temperature because: 1) nuclei only moves at high temperatures 2) nuclei move too slowly at room temp I'm not sure about this. but i think that 2 is right. Can someone verify this? Another question that I am also wondering is that when...- solars

Beat freuqency of a saxophone and trombone at middle A (440 Hz)
Sorry I meant 444 and 436. They are the only answer choices given, but I can't figure out which one is the correct answer. I thought of doppler effect but the velocity of the truck is not given.- solars
