In a region of space where gravitational forces can be neglected, a sphere is accelerated by a uniform light beam of intensity 8

.0 mW/m^2. The sphere is totally absorbing and has a radius of 1.0 microns and a uniform density of 4500.0 kg/m^3. What is the magnitude of the sphere's acceleration (in m/s^2) due to the light?A. 5.0x10^-26B. 4.4x10^-9C. 1.5*10^-9D. 9.8x10^-8E. 3.0x10^-15

Answer:

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

To calculate the acceleration we must use Newton's second law

      F = m a

      a = F / m

To calculate the force we use the defined pressure and the radiation pressure for an absorbent surface

       P = I / c        absorbent surface

       P = F / A

       F / A = I / c

       F = I A / c

The area of ​​area of ​​a circle is

      A = π r²

We replace

     F = I π r² / c

Let's calculate

     F = 8.0 10⁻³ π (1.0 10⁻⁶)²/3 10⁸

     F = 8.375 10⁻²³ N

Density is

      ρ = m / V

      m = ρ V

      m = ρ (4/3 π r³)

      m = 4500 (4/3 π (1 10⁻⁶)³)

      m = 1,885 10⁻¹⁴ kg

Let's calculate the acceleration

     a = 8.375 10⁻²³ / 1.885 10⁻¹⁴

     a = 4.44 10⁻⁹ m/s²               absorbent surface

The correct answer is B

2 cannons fire projectiles upwards with the same velocity. The
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Two projectile is fired vertically upward

One has 4 times the mass of other

When Projectile is fired their trajectory is independent of mass of object. Also if they launched with same speed then both achieved same maximum height in same time and will hit the ground at the same moment.

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

16.25^{\circ}

Explanation:

R = Horizontal range of projectile = 75 m

v = Velocity of projectile = 37 m/s

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

Horizontal range is given by

R=\dfrac{v^2\sin2\theta}{g}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\dfrac{\sin^{-1}\dfrac{Rg}{v^2}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\dfrac{\sin^{-1}\dfrac{75\times 9.81}{37^2}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \theta=16.25^{\circ}

The angle at which the arrow is to be released is 16.25^{\circ}.
