Answer:

F=5.7×10⁻⁶

Explanation:

Not knowing a formula outright, I decided to follow the units of some relationships I did know. Radiation pressure is defined as force per area and also intensity divided by velocity (the speed of light here of course). Breaking intensity down into power per area and isolating force gave me the relationship F=(Power/Velocity),where power is given and the velocity is a constant.

My work is in the attachment, where I double checked the units too, comment with any questions.

Please help <br>problems 2a.,2b.,3a.,and 3b.​
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

2a) x = 32 [mil/h]; 2b) t = 0.5[h]; 3a) t = 2.5 [h]; 3b) x = 185[mil]

Explanation:

2a)

We can solve this problem by using the kinematics equation, which relates speed to time and displacement.

v=\frac{x}{t} \\v=velocity [\frac{mil}{h} ] = 32 [\frac{mil}{h}] \\t=time = 1 [h]\\x=v*t\\x=32[\frac{mil}{h} ]*1[h]\\x=32[mil}

2b)

We can solve this problem by using the kinematics equation, which relates speed to time and displacement.

v=\frac{x}{t} \\t=\frac{x}{v} \\t=\frac{420}{840}\\ t=0.5[h]

3a)

We can solve this problem by using the kinematics equation, which relates speed to time and displacement.

v=\frac{x}{t} \\t=\frac{x}{v} \\t=\frac{35}{14}\\ t=2.5[h]

3b)

We can solve this problem by using the kinematics equation, which relates speed to time and displacement.

v=\frac{x}{t} \\v=velocity [\frac{mil}{h} ] = 74 [\frac{mil}{h}] \\t=time = 2.5 [h]\\x=v*t\\x=74[\frac{mil}{h} ]*2.5[h]\\x=185[mil}

Why cooking pans don't have have metal handles?
Harrizon [31]


metals are conductors, meaning that heat travels through it better than insulators such as plastic (commonly used for pan handles)

Therefore, to avoid the heat burning hands, most pans don't have metal handles.

You have a lightweight spring whose unstretched length is 4.0 cm. First, you attach one end of the spring to the ceiling and han
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

2.2nC

Explanation:

Call the amount by which the spring’s unstretched length L,

the amount it stretches while hanging x1

and the amount it stretches while on the table x2.

Combining Hooke’s law with Newton’s second law, given that the stretched spring is not accelerating,

we have mg−kx1 =0, or k = mg /x1 , where k is the spring constant. On the other hand,

applying Coulomb’s law to the second part tells us ke q2/ (L+x2)2 − kx2 = 0 or q2 = kx2(L+x2)2/ke,

where ke is the Coulomb constant. Combining these,

we get q = √(mgx2(L+x2)²/x1ke =2.2nC

A car speeds over a hill past point A, as shown in the figure. What is the maximum speed the car can have at point A such that i
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

11.8 m/s

Explanation:

At the top of the hill, there are two forces on the car: weight force pulling down (towards the center of the circle), and normal force pushing up (away from the center of the circle).

Sum of forces in the centripetal direction:

∑F = ma

mg − N = m v²/r

At the maximum speed, the normal force is 0.

mg = m v²/r

g = v²/r

v = √(gr)

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 14.2 m)

v = 11.8 m/s
