Arear-wheel–drive car weighs 2600 lb and has an 84-inch wheelbase, a center of gravity 20 inches above the roadway surface and 30 inches behind the front axle, a drivetrain efficiency of 85%, 14-inch–radius wheels, and an overall gear reduction of 7 to 1. the car's torque/engine speed curve is given by me = 6ne − 0.045ne2 if the car is on a paved, level roadway surface with a coefficient of adhesion of 0.75, determine its maximum acceleration from rest.

Light from two different sources are incident upon the same side of a polarizing filter. light from one source is polarized with total intensity ip, while light from the other source is unpolarized with total intensity iu. as you rotate the polarizing filter through 360 degrees, the intensity of the transmitted light on the other side varies by a factor of 9. what is the relative intensity of the initial polarized source to the unpolarized source, or ip/iu?
