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

How do I find the cosine of theta.
NNADVOKAT [17]

The value of cos θ in the given figure is 0.98.

<h3>What is cosine of an angle?</h3>

The cosine of an angle is defined as the sine of the complementary angle.

The complementary angle equals the given angle subtracted from a right angle, 90.

cos θ = sin(90 - θ)

For example, if the angle is 30°, then its complement is 60°

cos 30 = sin(90 - 30)

cos 30 = sin 60

0.866 = 0.866

<h3>Cosine of an angle with respect to sides of a right triangle</h3>

cos θ = adjacent side / hypotenuse side

adjacent side of the given right triangle is calculated as follows;

adj² = 10² - 2²

adj² = 100 - 4

adj² = 96

adj = √96

adj = 9.8

cos θ = 9.8/10

cos θ = 0.98

Thus, the value of cos θ in the given figure is 0.98.
