Answer:

energy is 36 mJ

radiation pressure exerted by the beam is 1.9254 × 10^{-6} Pa

Explanation:

Given data

diameter = 2.3 mm = 2.3 × 10^{-3} m

power  = 2.4 mW = 2.4 × 10^{-3} J/s

time = 15 s

to find out

energy and radiation pressure exerted

solution

we know for energy

that is energy = power × time

energy =  2.4 × 10^{-3} × 15

energy = 36 × 10^{-3} J

so energy is 36 mJ

and

now first we find cross section area that i s

cross section Area A = πd²/4

A = π(2.3 × 10^{-3})²/4

A = 4.155 × 10^{-6} m²

and intensity of radiation will be power / area

so intensity of radiation = 2.4 × 10^{-3} /  4.155 × 10^{-6}

intensity of radiation = 577.62 W/m²

so that now for radiation pressure for beam that is

pressure = intensity of radiation / speed of light

we know speed of light is 3 × 10^{8} m/s

so

pressure = 577.62 / 3 × 10^{8}

pressure = 1.9254 × 10^{-6} Pa

so radiation pressure exerted by the beam is 1.9254 × 10^{-6} Pa

A particle is moving along the x-axis. Its position as a function of time is given as x=bt-ct^2a) What must be the units of the
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

We are given x= bt +ct²

So

A. bxt= m

Because m/s*s= m

So b= m/s and c= m/s²

B.

x= bt-ct²

So at x=0 t=0

x=0 t= 2

We have

bt = ct² so t = b/c at x= 0

So b-2ct= 0

B. To find velocity we use

dx / dt = b - 2 Ct

C. At rest wen V= 0

We have t= b/2c

D. To find acceleration we use

dv / dt = - 2C
