A 1700 W laser emits light with a wavelength of 700 nm into a 3.0 mm diameter beam. What force does the laser beam exert on a co
mpletely absorbing target?

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.

Answer:
<em>a. The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground</em>
<em>b. The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff</em>
Explanation:
Horizontal motion occurs when an object is thrown horizontally with an initial speed v from a height h above the ground. When it happens, the object moves through a curved path determined by gravity until it hits the ground.
The time taken by the object to hit the ground is calculated by:
The range is defined as the maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object and it can be calculated as follows:
The man is standing on the edge of the h=20 m cliff and throws a rock with a horizontal speed of v=10 m/s.
a,
The time taken by the rock to reach the ground is:
t = 2.02 s
The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground
b.
The range is calculated now:
d = 20.2 m
The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff
