A sled is initially given a shove up a frictionless 20.0° incline. It reaches a maximum vertical height 1.60 m higher than where it started at the bottom.
Part A) What was its initial speed? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

"why is graphite used instead of gold or copper wires to conduct electricity in very hot situations such as an industrial kiln? " that's the question, but the thing is, i don't even understand what an "industrial kiln" xd assistance would be < 3

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?
