Radiation from the Sun reaching Earth (just outside the atmosphere) has an intensity of 1.4 kW/m2. (a) Assuming that Earth (and

its atmosphere) behaves like a flat disk perpendicular to the Sun's rays and that all the incident energy is absorbed, calculate the force on Earth due to radiation pressure.

To solve the problem we will require the concept of Force as a definition of pressure and Area, and the concept of light pressure itself determined by the relationship between intensity and the speed at which light travels. We will match the terms and find the desired force value,

F = PA

Here,

P = Pressure

A = Area

Pressure due to the light of the sun will be

P= \frac{I}{c}

Here,

I = Intensity

c = Speed velocity

Equation both therms we have that

F = \frac{IA}{c}

We have a circular area then

F = \frac{I(\pi r^2)}{c}

Replacing with our values (Adding the radius of the Earth)

F = \frac{(1.4*10^3W/m^2)(\pi (6.32*10^6m)^2)}{3.0*10^8m/s}

F = 6.0*10^8N

Therefore the Force on Earth due to radiation pressure is 6*10^8N

A gun fires a bullet vertically into a 1.40-kg block of wood at rest on a thin horizontal sheet. If the bullet has a mass of 22.
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

A. 1.172 metres

B. 6.82 Ns

C. 4.796 m/s

Explanation:

The total initial momentum is gotten by multiplying the mass and initial velocity of the both bodies.

The 1.40 kg block is at rest so velocity is zero and has no momentum.

The bullet of mass 22 g = 0.022 kg with velocity of 310 m/s

Momentum = 310*0.022

Momentum = 6.82 Ns.

If the bullet gets embedded they will both have common velocity v

6.82 = (0.022+1.40)v

6.82 = 1.422v

V = 6.82/1.422

V = 4.796 m/s

How high the block will rise after the bullet is embedded is given by

H = (U²Sin²tita)/2g

Where tita is 90°

H = (4.796² * sin²(90))/(2*9.81)

H =( 23.001616*1)/19.62

H = 1.172 metres

An electron traveling with a speed v enters a uniform magnetic field directed perpendicular to its path. The electron travels fo
stepan [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

For circular path in magnetic field

mv² / R = Bqv ,

m is mass , v is velocity , R is radius of circular path , B is magnetic field , q is charge on the particle .

a )

R = mv / Bq

If v is changed  to 2v , keeping other factors unchanged , R will be doubled

b )

magnitude of acceleration inside field

= v² / R

= Bqv / m

As v is doubled , acceleration will also be doubled

c )

If T be the time inside the magnetic field

T = π R / v

=  π  / v x  mv / Bq

= π m / Bq

As is does not contain v that means T  remains unchanged .

d )

Net force acting on electron

= m v² / R = Bqv

Net force = Bqv

As v becomes twice force too becomes twice .

So a . b , d are correct answer.

Here is a widely publicized, true story about how failing to convert units resulted in a huge loss. in 1998, the mars climate or
Volgvan
This is the reason why dimensional analysis is very important. It is a technique used that only involves operations with units. You disregard the quantities first. The concept is to make sure that the final answer of your calculations must be consistent of what is asked. Similar units are cancelled when they appear both on the numerator and denominator side. If the mathematicians used this, they could've prevented the crash from happening. What good would the calculations bring if you are not consistent with the units?
