Answer:

The force of the radiation on the surface is 3.33 x 10⁻¹⁰ N

Explanation:

Given;

intensity of light, I = 1kw/m² = 1000 W/m²

area of the surface, A = 1 cm² = 1 x 10⁻⁴ m²

Since the light is completely absorbed, the force of the radiation is given by;

F = P/c

where;

c is the speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

But P = IA

F = IA /c

F = (1000 X 1 X 10⁻⁴) / 3 x 10⁸

F = 3.33 x 10⁻¹⁰ N

Therefore, the force of the radiation on the surface is 3.33 x 10⁻¹⁰ N

tankabanditka [31]

Explanation:

Radio Telescope:

1. FAST (Five Hundred Meter Aperture Spherical Telescope), China is the largest single dish radio telescope in the world with a dish of diameter 500 meters. Although its construction is over but its not yet functional.

2. Arecibo Observatory, Puerto Rico is the largest single dish <em>operational</em> radio telescope having a single dish of diameter 305 meters..

X - ray Telescope: Chandra X ray observatory also known as Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility (AXAF) is the largest x-ray telescope with aperture of 1.2 meters. It can detect X-ray sources which are 100 times fainter in comparison to any previous telescope.

Gamma ray telescope: Fermi Gamma ray telescope is the largest gamma ray telescope.

Wewaii [24]
     Using the Universal Gratitation Law, we have:

F= \frac{MmG}{d^2}  \\ MmG=2*10^{20}*(3.84*10^8)^2 \\ MmG=29.4912*10^36
 
     Again applying the formula in the new situation, comes:

F= \frac{MmG}{d^2} \\ F= \frac{29.4912*10^36}{(1.92*10^8)^2} \\ \boxed {F=8*10^{20}}

Number 4

What is compression
Talja [164]
The answer is B) region of high pressure in a medium caused by a passing wave

Compression is the forcing of the molecules of a medium, be it water, air, or something else, as a wave passes by. This forcing together of the molecules raises the pressure of the medium in the area that the wave passes through.

fredd [130]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. The potential energy between both like charges and like poles increases as they move closer together

Explanation:

Here we have that when we move the like poles of two bar magnets close to each other, there is an increased resistance in the continuing motion, therefore for each extra gap closer achieved, there is an increase in potential energy

Similarly, when two like charges are brought closer together, the potential energy, or the energy available to push the two like charges apart increases charge as the as the charges are brought closer together

Therefore, the correct option is the potential energy between both like charges and like poles increases as they move closer together.
