The acceleration due to gravity serves as the centripetal acceleration of the objects that orbits the Earth. The centripetal acceleration due to gravity is calculated through the equation,

    a = v²/r

where v is the speed and r is the radius. Substituting the known values to the equation,

   9.8 m/s² = (420 m/s)² / r

The value of r from the equation is 18000 m or equal to 18 km.

<em>Answer: 18 km</em>

the average power of the Sun is 3.79x1026 Watts, answer the following questions: 13. What is the average intensity of light at E
Lemur [1.5K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Average power of sun P=3.79\times10^{26}\ Watt

We need to calculate the intensity of light at Earth's position

Using formula of intensity

I=\dfrac{P_{avg}}{4\pi r^2}

Where, I = intensity

P = power

Put the value into the formula

I=\dfrac{3.79\times10^{26}}{4\pi\times(1.496\times10^{11})^2}

I=1347.616\ W/m^2

So, The intensity is 1347.616 W/m².

(A). We need to calculate the pressure on a solar sail due to the light of the sun if it's fully reflective

Using formula for fully reflective

P = \dfrac{2I}{c}

Put the value into the formula

P=\dfrac{2\times1347.616}{3\times10^{8}}

P=8.984\times10^{-6}\ N/m

(B).  We need to calculate the pressure on a solar sail due to the light of the sun if it's fully reflective

Using formula for fully absorptive

P=\dfrac{I}{c}

P=\dfrac{1347.616}{3\times10^{8}}

P=4.492\times10^{-6}\ N/m

Hence, This is the required solution.

The form of energy that can move from place to place across the universe is . On Earth, the main source of this energy is .
serg [7]

The form of energy that can move from place to place across the universe is light energy. On earth, the main source of this energy is Sun. Most of the light energy comes from the sun because it is the primary source of all the energies. The food, fossil fuels, movement of winds, etc all exists due to Sun. Without sun, there won't be any light energy on the earth. In all the processes which occur on earth has a direct or indirect involvement of light energy which comes from sun.

Why society might initially reject a new scientific theory?
Irina18 [472]

I was about to say:  because people generally get comfortable with
what they think they know, and don't like the discomfort of being told
that they have to change something they're comfortable with.

But then I thought about it a little bit more, and I have a different answer.

"Society" might initially reject a new scientific theory, because 'society'
is totally unequipped to render judgement of any kind regarding any
development in Science. 

First of all, 'Society' is a thing that's made of a bunch of people, so it's
inherently unequipped to deal with scientific news.  Anything that 'Society'
decides has a lot of the mob psychology in it, and a public opinion poll or
a popularity contest are terrible ways to evaluate a scientific discovery.

Second, let's face it.  The main ingredient that comprises 'Society' ... people ...
are generally uneducated, unknowledgeable, unqualified, and clueless in the
substance, the history, and the methods of scientific inquiry and reporting.

There may be very good reasons that some particular a new scientific theory
should be rejected, or at least seriously questioned.  But believe me, 'Society'
doesn't have them.

That's pretty much why.
