a simple pendulum is displaced to the left of its equilibrium position and is released from rest. set the origin of the coordinate system at the equilibrium position of the pendulum, and let counterclockwise be the positive angular direction. assume air resistance is so small that it can be ignored.

Alinearly polarized electromagnetic wave has an average intensity of 196 w/m^2. this wave is directed towards two ideal polarizers (in real polarizers, transmission is also effected by reflection and absorption). polarizer a is oriented with its transmission axis at an angle of θ_1=20.8∘ with the incident electric field. polarizer b has its axis at an angle of θ_2=63.0∘ with the incident electric field. what is the average intensity of the wave after it passes through polarizer a? what is the average intensity of the wave after it passes through polarizer b? suppose that the two polarizers a and b are interchanged. what would the average intensity be after passing through both polarizers?

Astudent creates a model of a closed ecosystem by filling a glass tank half full with water, then adding 10 snails and two small aquatic plants. the next day, all the snails are dead. what is the most likely cause of their death?
