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 power plants generate electricity?
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

electrons are a waste product of bacteria living around plant roots – plants discharge organic matter into the soil, which is broken down by bacteria. It is possible to harvest them using motonless electrodes and turn them into electricity, without affecting the plant’s growth in any way.

A skydiver prepares to jump out of a plane. Explain how gravity and air resistance will affect the motion of the skydiver before
ahrayia [7]
Before the skydiver opens the parachute, his velocity would be increasing greatly as much as 9.8 m/s². Opening the parachute would increase the surface area to which air may cause resistance. The skydiver then reaches his terminal velocity.

For a solar eclipse to occur which of the following alignments must be necessary
katovenus [111]
Very specific alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon. If the Moon is lined up precisely with the Sun from the Earth's point of view, the Moon will block Sunlight from reaching the Earth, causing a solar eclipse.

1. An express train, traveling at 36 m/s, is accidentally sidetracked onto a local train track. The express engineer spots a loc
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

(i) 12 seconds

(ii) 216 meters from the initial position

(iii) 132 meters from the initial position

(iv) No

Explanation:

Speed of express train =36 m/s

Speed of local train =11 m/s

The initial distance between the local train and passenger train =100 m.

Due to the application of breaks, the express train slows at the rare of 3.0 m/s^2.

So, the acceleration of the express train, a=-3 m/s^2.

(i) Let t be the time the express train takes to stop.

From the equation of motion,

v=u+at

where, v: final velocity, u: initial velocity, a: constant acceleration, t: time taken to change the speed from u to v.

In this case, v=0, u=36 m/s, a=-3 m/s^2

So, 0=36+(-3)t

\Rightarrow t= 36/3=12 seconds.

(ii) To compute the distance traveled, s, till the express train stops, using

v^2=u^2+2as

\Rightarrow 0^2=36^2+2(-3)s

\Rightarrow s=\frac{36\times36}{6}

\Rightarrow s=216 meters.

(iii) The local train is moving at a speed of 11 m/s

So, in 12 seconds, the distance, d, traveled by the local train

d= 11x12=132 meters [as distance= speed x time]

(iv) Let 0 be the reference position which is the initial position of the express train.

So, at the initial time, the position of the local train is at 100m.

After 12 seconds:

The position of the express train is at 216 m [using part (ii)]

and the position of the local train is at 100+132=232m  [using part (iii)].

So, the local train is still ahead of the express train, hence the trains didn't collide.
