Someone plans to float a small, totally absorbing sphere 0.500 m above an isotropic point source of light,so that the upward rad

iation force from the light matches the downward gravitational force on the sphere. The sphere’s density is 19.0 g/cm3, and its radius is 2.00 mm. (a) What power would be required of the light source?

Answer:

468449163762.0812 W

Explanation:

m = Mass = \rhoV

V = Volume =\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3

r = Distance of sphere from isotropic point source of light = 0.5 m

R = Radius of sphere = 2 mm

\rho = Density = 19 g/cm³

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

A = Area = \pi R^2

I = Intensity = \dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Force due to radiation is given by

F=\dfrac{IA}{c}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}{\pi R^2}}{c}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{PR^2}{4r^2c}

According to the question

F=mg\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{PR^2}{4r^2c}=\rho \dfrac{4}{3}\pi R^3g\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{16r^2\rho c\pi Rg}{3}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{16\times 0.002\times 19000\times \pi\times 0.5^2\times 9.81\times 3\times 10^8}{3}\\\Rightarrow P=468449163762.0812\ W

The power required of the light source is 468449163762.0812 W

marin [14]

The correct answer to this question would be:

<span><span>A. </span>No part of your vehicle will extend out into the traffic lane.</span>  

This kind of maneuver only shows your skill to handle the vehicle in tight spaces, ability to judge distance, and showing control of the vehicle as you turn into a straight-in parking space.

Every year, new records in track and field events are recorded. Let's take an historic look back at some exciting races.
Hitman42 [59]
First we need to turn Aouita's time for the race into seconds. There are 60 seconds in a minute, so 7 minutes and 29.45 seconds is (7 x 60) + 29.45 = 449.45. He ran 3000 meters in that time, so his average speed was 3000 meters divided by 449.45 seconds. 3000 / 449.45 = 6.67 m/s. So, on average, he covered 6.67 meters (more than 21 feet!) during each second of the race.

A golfer tees off and hits a golf ball at a speed of 31 m/s and at an angle of 35 degrees. What is the horizontal velocity compo
nasty-shy [4]
The horizontal component of the velocity of the ball is calculated by multiplying the speed by the cosine of the given angle. 
                        x-component of speed = (31 m/s)(cos 35°) 
                                                               = 25.39 m/s
Thus, the horizontal velocity component of the ball is 25.39 m/s.

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Constructive interference

Explanation:

Here, the medium is same, same wavelength, same frequency, same amplitude and same direction of propagation.

Let the intensity of waves be I which is same for both

The formula for the net intensity is

I^{2}=I_{1}^{2}+I_{2}^{2}+2I_{1}I_{2}Cos\phi

where, Ф be the phase difference

So, I_{R}^{2}=I^{2}+I^{2}+2IICos6\pi

Here, IR is maximum so the interference is constructive in nature.
