Suspend a heavy weight by two pieces of rope. tension is greatest when the ropes a.) are vertical b.) make a small angle to the vertical c.) make a large angle to the vertical d.) are in any position, as they each share half the weight

Aball tossed vertically upward from the ground next to a building passes the bottom of a window 1.8 s after being tossed and passes the top of the window 0.20 s later. the window is 2.0 m high from top to bottom. what was the ball's initial velocity? the unit vector j^ is directed upward. how far is the bottom of the window from the launch position? how high does the ball rise above the launch position?

In a thunderstorm, charge builds up on the water droplets or ice crystals in a cloud. thus, the charge can be considered to be distributed uniformly throughout the cloud. for the purposes of this problem, take the cloud to be a sphere of diameter 1.00 kilometer. the point of this problem is to estimate the maximum amount of charge that this cloud can contain, assuming that the charge builds up until the electric field at the surface of the cloud reaches the value at which the surrounding air breaks down. this breakdown means that the air becomes highly ionized, enabling it to conduct the charge from the cloud to the ground or another nearby cloud. the ionized air will then emit light due to the recombination of the electrons and atoms to form excited molecules that radiate light. in addition, the large current will heat up the air, resulting in its rapid expansion. these two phenomena account for the appearance of lightning and the sound of thunder. take the breakdown electric field of air to be eb=3.00ă—106n/c. part a estimate the total charge q on the cloud when the breakdown of the surrounding air is reached. express your answer numerically, to three significant figures, using ďµ0=8.85ă—10â’12c2/(nâ‹…m2) .

Two polarizers are oriented at 40∘ to each other and plane-polarized light is incident on them. if only 16 percent of the light gets through both of them, what was the initial polarization direction of the incident light?
