A communications satellite orbiting the earth has solar panels that completely absorb all sunlight incident upon them. The total

area A of the panels is 10m2.
1) The intensity of the sun's radiation incident upon the earth is about I = 1.4kW/m2. Suppose this is the value for the intensity of sunlight incident upon the satellite's solar panels. What is the total solar power P absorbed by the panels?
2) What is the total force F on the panels exerted by radiation pressure from the sunlight?

Answer:

0.00004666N

Explanation:

We know that

intensity (I) = P/ A

Where

P= power

A= Area

So lets say that the power absorbed

Will be = Intensity x Area

Which Is = 1.4 x 10^3 x(10)

So

14000 Watt = 14 kWatt

However we know that radiation pressure is equal to

time-averaged intensity all over the speed of light in free space

So

P = (1.4 x 1000)/c

But

F= P x A

So

((1.4 x 1000)/(3 x1 0^8)) x 10

Which is

=0.000046666N

What is one advantage of doing a field experiment instead of a laboratory experiment
Flauer [41]

It mimics the real world accurately

Explanation:

Experiments conducted in the field clearly presents the real world at it is to the scientist. Hardly can any part be controlled precisely and this gives a near to perfect scenario.

  • In the laboratory, for example, an organism is isolated from its environment and might not fully display its natural instinct and physiological capabilities.
  • Most laboratory set up are driven towards a model instead of real life settings.
  • The laboratory is more controlled and less varied and might truly represent the real world. It will only portray a part of the real world and series of further tests might have to be carried out to have a better model.

What are some differences you can spot in a periodic table?
Serggg [28]

"The position of each element in the table gives important information about its structure, properties, and behavior in chemical reactions. Specifically, an element's position in the periodic table helps you figure out its electron configuration, how the electrons are organized around the nucleus."

Earth exerts a 100 N gravitational force on a metal box. What is the magnitude of the gravitational force the metal box exerts o
jeka94

We have that the magnitude of the gravitational force  is mathematically given as

f=6.377N

<h3>Force</h3>

Question Parameters:

Earth exerts a 100 N gravitational force on a metal box.

(Mass of the earth is 6e24 kg and radius of the earth is 6.4e6m.)

Generally the equation for the Gravitational mForce  is mathematically given as

F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}\\\\Therefore\\\\F=\frac{100/9.8* 6e116e24}{6.4e6^2}

f=6.377N
