(a)
The radiation pressure exerted by an electromagnetic wave on a surface that totally absorbs the radiation is given by
where
I is the intensity of the wave
c is the speed of light
In this problem,
and substituting , we find the radiation pressure
(b)
Since we know the cross-sectional area of the laser beam:
starting from the radiation pressure found at point (a), we can calculate the force exerted on a tritium atom:
And then, since we know the mass of the atom
we can find the acceleration, by using Newton's second law:
Answer:
Explanation:
Distance between ship and enemy ship
= 500 + 610
= 3110 m
Range of projectile
R = u² sin2θ / g
= (250x 250 sin 150) / 9.8
= 3188m
The projectile falls within a distance of 3188 - 3110 = 78 m from enemy ship
Height of mountain = 1800 m
We shall find the height of projectile when its horizontal displacement is 2500m
x = 2500 , y = ?
u = 2500 ,
y = x / cos θ - .5 g x² /u²cos² θ
9660 - 7315 m
= 2345 m
It is within 545 m from mountain peak .
(a)
The change in potential energy of the electron is given by:
where
is the magnitude of the electron's charge
is the magnitude of the electric field
d = 520 m is the distance through which the electron has moved
Substituting into the equation, we find
(b) 78 kV
The potential difference the electron has moved through is given by
where
is the magnitude of the electric field
d = 520 m is the distance through which the electron has moved
Substituting into the equation, we find
