Answer:
The magnitude of the force the light beam exerts on the man is 5.9 x 10⁻⁵N
(b) the force the light beam exerts is much too small to be felt by the man.
Explanation:
Given;
cross-sectional area of the man, A = 0.500m²
intensity of light, I = 35.5kW/m²
If all the incident light were absorbed, the pressure of the incident light on the man can be calculated as follows;
P = I/c
where;
P is the pressure of the incident light
I is the intensity of the incident light
c is the speed of light
F = PA
where;
F is the force of the incident light on the man
P is the pressure of the incident light on the man
A is the cross-sectional area of the man
F = 1.18 x 10⁻⁴ x 0.5 = 5.9 x 10⁻⁵ N
The magnitude of the force the light beam exerts on the man is 5.9 x 10⁻⁵ N
Therefore, the force the light beam exerts is much too small to be felt by the man.
Answer:
<em>The power delivered by the battery is 17.04 W</em>
Explanation:
Power through a circuit is given as
P = IV ....1
where P is the power
I is the current through the circuit
V is the voltage through the circuit
The voltage in a circuit is given as
V = IR ....2
Let us take the value of each resistor as equal to R
when connected in series, the total resistance will be
= R + R = 2R
If we assume constant voltage through the circuit, then from equation 2, the current in this case is
I = V/2R
If the resistors are connected in parallel, then the total resistance will be
=
+
= R/2
The current in this case will be increased since the resistance is reduced
I = 2V/R
comparing the two situations, we can see that the current increased when connected in parallel to a ratio of
÷
=
This means that the current increased 4 times
From equation 1, we can see that electrical power is proportional to the current at a constant voltage, therefore, the power will also increase by four times to
P = 4 x 4.26 = <em>17.04 W</em>
