An object is dropped from a vertical height of 1.89 m above the balcony level. What is the object’s speed when it is 2.20 m below the balcony level if 10.0% energy is lost due to the air resistance? Does it matter when to apply 10% loss before V calculations or after? [8.49m/s] [yes it does, 0.9Energy result in √0.9Velocity]

Can someone solve this problem?

Light from two different sources are incident upon the same side of a polarizing filter. light from one source is polarized with total intensity ip, while light from the other source is unpolarized with total intensity iu. as you rotate the polarizing filter through 360 degrees, the intensity of the transmitted light on the other side varies by a factor of 9. what is the relative intensity of the initial polarized source to the unpolarized source, or ip/iu?
