You fire a bullet into a 2 kg wooden block that is hanging at the bottom of a pendulum. When the bullet strikes the block, the pendulum swings upward. The bullet has a mass of 0.02 kg and strikes
the block with a speed of 300 m/s.
a. What is the speed of the block and bullet when they first start moving together? (8 points)
b. What is the maximum height reached by the pendulum? (7 points)

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?

In a system, when potential energy decreases, then entropy also decreases. true false

Suppose you have three polarizing filters, with the second at an angle of 42∘ to the first and the third at an angle of 90∘ to the first. by what perfect will the original intensity of unpolarized light be reduced to after passing through all three filters?
