Why is the voltmeter connected in parallel with the source and not connected in parallel with the diodes in the reverse bias

An airplane flying parallel to the ground undergoes two consecutive displacements. the first is 76 km at 39.8◦ west of north, and the second is 156 km at 59.9◦ east of north. what is the magnitude of the plane’s total displacement? answer in units of km. 020 (part 2 of 2) 10.0

Awind turbine is initially spinning at a constant angular speed. as the wind's strength gradually increases, the turbine experiences a constant angular acceleration 0.173 rad/s2. after making 2870 revolutions, its angular speed is 132 rad/s. (a) what is the initial angular velocity of the turbine? (b) how much time elapses while the turbine is speeding up?

Light that is polarized along the vertical direction is incident on a sheet of polarizing material. only 96% of the intensity of the light passes through the sheet and strikes a second sheet of polarizing material. no light passes through the second sheet. what angle does the transmission axis of the second sheet make with the vertical?
