A pistol of 0.5kg fires a bullet of 0.05kg at a velocity of 300m/s, calculate the recoil velocity of the gun.

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?

The california mussel (mytilus californianus) attaches itself to a rock or other solid surface with a bundle of filaments known as the byssus. imagine that 15.0 j of work is done to stretch the distal end of the byssus. it releases 10.8 j of thermal energy as it relaxes. what is the resilience of the distal end of the byssus?

Acharge q experiences no net force at a particular point in space. which of the following situations described below must always be true? -there are no other charges nearby. -if there are other charges nearby, they must all have the same sign as q. -if there are other charges nearby, they must all have the opposite sign of q. -if there are other charges nearby, the total positive charge must equal the total negative charge. -none of the above
