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

Explain how the fixed points are used when calibrating a thermometer. ​
8090 [49]

<u>Answer:</u>

First, the thermometer is dipped into boiling water, and the mercury inside the thermometer rises to a high level, called the boiling point. This level is then marked as 100°C. The thermometer is then dipped into melting ice, which causes the mercury level to fall to a point called the ice point. This point is then marked as 0°C. The length of the thermometer from the 0°C mark to the 100°C point is then divided into 100 equal sections, and the rest of the levels are marked accordingly.
