An inclined plane makes an angle of 30.0º with the horizontal.  a) Find the force required to cause a 15 kg box to slide up the plane with an acceleration of 1.2 m/s2. 

b) Find the force required to cause a 15 kg box to slide down the plane with an acceleration of 1.2 m/s2.

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?
