One strategy in a snowball fight is to throw a snowball at a high angle over level ground.
While your opponent is watching this first
snowball, you throw a second snowball at a
low angle and time it to arrive at the same
time as the first.
Assume both snowballs are thrown with
the same initial speed 16.2 m/s. The first
snowball is thrown at an angle of 62° above
the horizontal. At what angle should you
throw the second snowball to make it hit the
same point as the first? Note the starting and
ending heights are the same. The acceleration
of gravity is 9.8 m/s.

The rigid beam is supported by the three suspender bars. bars ab and ef are made of aluminum and bar cd is made of steel. if each bar has a cross-sectional area of 450 mm2, determine the maximum value of p if the allowable stress is (σallow)st = 200 mpa for the steel and ( σallow)al = 150 mpa for the aluminum. est = 200 gpa and eal = 70 gpa.

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?

Light traveling in a medium with a refractive index 1.19 is incident on a plate of another medium with index of refraction 1.79. at what angle of incidence is the reflected light fully polarized?
