Explanation:

Given that,

Average power of sun P=3.79\times10^{26}\ Watt

We need to calculate the intensity of light at Earth's position

Using formula of intensity

I=\dfrac{P_{avg}}{4\pi r^2}

Where, I = intensity

P = power

Put the value into the formula

I=\dfrac{3.79\times10^{26}}{4\pi\times(1.496\times10^{11})^2}

I=1347.616\ W/m^2

So, The intensity is 1347.616 W/m².

(A). We need to calculate the pressure on a solar sail due to the light of the sun if it's fully reflective

Using formula for fully reflective

P = \dfrac{2I}{c}

Put the value into the formula

P=\dfrac{2\times1347.616}{3\times10^{8}}

P=8.984\times10^{-6}\ N/m

(B).  We need to calculate the pressure on a solar sail due to the light of the sun if it's fully reflective

Using formula for fully absorptive

P=\dfrac{I}{c}

P=\dfrac{1347.616}{3\times10^{8}}

P=4.492\times10^{-6}\ N/m

Hence, This is the required solution.

Technician A says some compressor service procedures can be performed on the vehicle if space permits. Technician B says modern
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Technicians A.

Explanation:

Since air compressor uses series of processes that turn incoming ambient air into a power source for tools and machinery. This means that air compressor has many different parts, and each of these parts must be maintained to ensure they function properly and optimally.

These are the basis when it comes to servicing a compressor

You need to change its oil

And clean its filters.

Inspected it's filters every three months, and have its filters replaced and connections tightened at least once every year.

To do all these can be performed on the vehicle if there is enough space just as Technician A said for the question context.

What is one way to model gravity and magnetism
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Gravity and magnetism are not the same thing. In fact, they are completely separate forces. Gravity is a force that acts between any two objects with mass. ... Magnetism can either pull the two objects together or push them apart, depending on which way the magnets point.

Two particles with oppositely signed charges nC are placed at two of the vertices of an equilateral triangle with side length 3
babymother [125]

The magnitude of the electric field at the third vertex of the triangle is determined as zero.

<h3>Electric field at the third vertex of the triangle </h3>

The electric field at the third vertex of the equilateral triangle due to the other charges placed on the first and second vertices is calculated as follows;

E = E(13) + E(23)

E = (kq₁)/r² + (kq₂)/r²

where;

  • q1 is positive charge
  • q2 is negative charge

E =  (kq₁)/r² - (kq₂)/r²

E = 0

Thus, the magnitude of the electric field at the third vertex of the triangle is determined as zero.
