2. What are some of the advantages of the metric system?

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?

What is the stall speed at sea level of an airplane that weights 10000 lbs., has a wing area of 300ft^2, and a maximum lift coefficient of 1.4? what is the stall speed if flaps that double cl,max are applied?

How do we measure or think of speed in the united states?
