The smokestack of a stationary toy tra in consists of a vertical spring gun chat shoots a steel ball a meter
or so straight into the airso straight that the ball
always falls back into the smokescack. Suppose the
train moves at constant speed along the straight track. Do you think the ball will still return to the smoke-
stack if shot from the moving train? What if the train
gains speed along the straight track? What if it moves at a constant speed on a circular track? Discuss why your answers differ,

Unpolarized light falls on two polarizer sheets whose transmission axes are at right angles. a third polarizer is placed between the first two so that its axis makes a 52-degree angle with the axis of the first polarizer. a) what fraction of the incident light intensity is transmitted through the first polaroid? b) what fraction of the incident light intensity is transmitted through the second polaroid? c) what is the angle of polarization of the light that enters the third polaroid? d) what fraction of the incident light intensity is transmitted through the third polaroid. e) what happens if the middle polaroid is removed?
