A linearly-polarized electromagnetic (EM) wave has an electric field with amplitude 1000 V/m. You hold a a linear polarizer in front of it and rotate the polarizer so that all of the EM wave is blocked. You then rotate the polarizer 30 degree. What is the amplitude of the electric field of the EM wave that is transmitted through the polarizer? Select one: 250 V/m500 V/m Depends on rotation direction 866 V/m 750 V/m

As part of an industrial process, air as an ideal gas at 10 bar, 400k expands at steady state through a valve to a pressure of 4 bar. the mass flow rate of air is 0.5 kg/s. the air then passes through a heat exchanger where it is cooled to a temperature of 295k with negligible change in pressure. the valve can be modeled as a throttling process, and kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected. (a) for a control volume enclosing the valve and heat exchanger and enough of the local surroundings that the heat transfer occurs at the ambient temperature of 295 k, determine the rate of entropy production, in kw/k. (b) if the expansion valve were replaced by an adiabatic turbine operating isentropically, what would be the entropy production? compare the results of parts (a) and (b) and discuss.

Each neuron shown in this figure innervates a group of muscle fibers. what is the term for a group of muscle fibers innervated by a single neuron?

Air conditioners not only cool air, but dry it as well. suppose that a room in a home measures 5.0m×9.0m×2.4m . if the outdoor temperature is 30 ∘c and the vapor pressure of water in the air is 85 % of the vapor pressure of water at this temperature, what mass of water must be removed from the air each time the volume of air in the room is cycled through the air conditioner? the vapor pressure for water at 30 ∘c is 31.8 torr.
