Answer:
Reflective
Explanation:
The radiation pressure of the wave that totally absorbed is given by;
and While the radiation pressure of the wave totally reflected is given by;
Now compare the two-equation you can clearly see that the pressure due to reflection is larger than absorption therefore the sail should be reflective.
Answer:
At an angle of 
Explanation:
Assume the river flows from East to West so for the swimmer to cross across it, assume he crosses it from West to East.
The resultant speed will be given by
Answer:
Explanation:
The electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and the electron is given by:
(1)
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
Ze is the charge of the nucleus
e is the charge of the electron
r is the distance between the electron and the nucleus
This electrostatic attraction provides the centripetal force that keeps the electron in circular motion, which is given by:
(2)
where
m is the mass of the electron
v is the speed of the electron
Combining the two equations (1) and (2), we find
And solving for v, we find an expression for the speed of the electron:
Density = (mass) / (volume)
4,000 kg/m³ = (mass) / (0.09 m³)
Multiply each side
by 0.09 m³ : (4,000 kg/m³) x (0.09 m³) = mass
mass = 360 kg .
Force of gravity = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)
= (360 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)
= (360 x 9.8) kg-m/s²
= 3,528 newtons .
That's the force of gravity on this block, and it doesn't matter
what else is around it. It could be in a box on the shelf or at
the bottom of a swimming pool . . . it's weight is 3,528 newtons
(about 793.7 pounds).
Now, it won't seem that heavy when it's in the water, because
there's another force acting on it in the upward direction, against
gravity. That's the buoyant force due to the displaced water.
The block is displacing 0.09 m³ of water. Water has 1,000 kg of
mass in a m³, so the block displaces 90 kg of water. The weight
of that water is (90) x (9.8) = 882 newtons (about 198.4 pounds),
and that force tries to hold the block up, against gravity.
So while it's in the water, the block seems to weigh
(3,528 - 882) = 2,646 newtons (about 595.2 pounds) .
But again ... it's not correct to call that the "force of gravity acting
on the block in water". The force of gravity doesn't change, but
there's another force, working against gravity, in the water.
