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

13) The condenser pressure is 417.4 psig for r-410A and the condenser outlet temperature is 108f. how much subcooling is there i
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

12°F

Explanation:

Calculation for how much subcooling is there in the condenser

Since the CONDENSING TEMPERATURE for 417.4 psig discharge pressure is 120 degrees (120°) which means that the amount of subcooling that is there in the condenser will be calculated using this formula

Amount of Condenser subcooling= Condensing Temperature discharge pressure -Condenser outlet temperature

Let plug in the formula

Amount of Condenser subcooling=120°-108f

Amount of Condenser subcooling=12°F

Therefore the amount of subcooling that is there in the condenser will be 12°F

Convection occurs when thermal energy is transferred by the movement of
madam [21]

Answer:

Convection is the transfer of thermal energy from one place to another by the movement of gas or liquid particles. How does this happen? As a gas or liquid is heated, the substance expands. This is because the particles in liquids and gases gain kinetic energy when they are heated and start to move faster.

A ball traveling at a speed ν0 rolls off a desk and lands at a horizontal distance x0 away from the desk, as shown in the figure
klasskru [66]

Answer:

3x_0

Explanation:

The horizontal distance covered by the ball in the falling is only determined by its horizontal motion - in fact, it is given by

d=v_x t

where

v_x is the horizontal velocity

t is the time of flight

The time of flight, instead, is only determined by the vertical motion of the ball: however, in this problem the vertical velocity is not changed (it is zero in both cases), so the time of flight remains the same.

In the first situation, the horizontal distance covered is

d=v_0 t = x_0

in the second case, the horizontal velocity is increased to

v_x' = 3v_0

And so the new distance travelled will be

d' = v_x' t = 3 v_0 t = 3 x_0

So, the distance increases linearly with the horizontal velocity.

When you rub a balloon on a sweater, for example, some electrons come off and end up on the balloon. The fibers have lost electrons giving them a positive charge. The rubber gained electrons giving it a negative charge. ... The positively charged fibers are now attracted to the negatively charged balloon.
