a) The kinetic energy of the two cars is the same

the moment of car 2 is greater than the moment of car 1

b) the kinetic energy of car 1 is greater than that of car 2

the moment of the two cars is the same

Explanation:

a) to know the kinetic energy of each car, we must find the speed, use Newton's second law to find the acceleration

Car 1

F = m a

a = F / m

Let's use kinematics to find the velocity after x = 1 m

v² = v₀² + 2 a x

The initial speed is zero

v = √ (2 F/m x)

For the distance of x = 1 m

v₁ = √ (2 F / m)

Car 2

F = 2m a

a = F / 2m

v² = 2 a x

v = √ (F/m x)

For x = 1 m

v₂ = √(F / m)

Let's calculate the kinetic energy of each car

Car 1

K₁ = ½ m v₁²

K₁ = ½ m 2F / m

K₁ = F

Car 2

K₂ = ½ 2m v₂²

K₂ = ½ 2m F / m

K₂ = F

The kinetic energy of the two cars is the same

Let's calculate the moment

Car 1

P₁ = m v₁

P₁ = m √ (2F / m)

Car 2

P₂ = 2m v²

P₂ = 2m √(F / m)

We see that the moment of car 2 is greater than the moment of car 1

b) in this part the force is applied by t = 10 s

Acceleration is the same, let's find the speed

Car1

v = v₀ + a t

v = F / m t

v₁ = F / m 10

Car 2

v₂ = F / 2m 10

v₂ = F / m 5

Let's calculate the kinetic energy of each car

Car 1

K₁ = ½ m v₁²

K₁ = ½ m (F / m 10)²

K₁ = 50 F² / m

Car2

K₂ = ½ 2m v₂²

K₂ = m (F / m 5)²

K₂ = 25 F² / m

In this case we see that the kinetic energy of car 1 is greater than that of car 2

Let's calculate the moment

Car 1

P₁ = m v₁

P₁ = m F / m 10

P₁ = 10 F

Car 2

P₂ = 2m v₂

P₂ = 2m F / m 5

P₂ = 10 F

In this case the moment of the two cars is the same

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?
