Answer:

The radiation pressure of the light is 3.33 x 10⁻⁶ Pa.

Explanation:

Given;

intensity of light, I = 1 kW/m²

The radiation pressure of light is given as;

$Radiation \ Pressure = \frac{Flux \ density}{Speed \ of \ light}$

I kW = 1000 J/s

The energy flux density = 1000 J/m².s

The speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Thus, the radiation pressure of the light is calculated as;

$Radiation \ pressure = \frac{1000}{3*10^{8}} \\\\Radiation \ pressure =3.33*10^{-6} \ Pa$

Therefore, the radiation pressure of the light is 3.33 x 10⁻⁶ Pa.

Vector → A points due north and vector → B points due west. Both vectors have the same magnitude. Which of the following vectors

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

B - A

Explanation:

For the combination of 2 vector to due southwest, 1 vector must due south and the other vector due west. Since vector B is already due west, vector A should due south. As vector A is already due north, vector -A would due south. So the combination of B + (-A) or B - A should points southwest

The formula used to calculate the wavelength given as below,

$Wavelength (\lambda)=\frac{\text { wave velocity }(v)}{\text { frequency }(f)}$

$v=\lambda \times f$ --------> eq. 1

In power system, harmonics define by positive integers of the fundamental frequency. So the third order harmonic is a multiple of the third fundamental frequency. Each harmonic creates an additional node and an opposite node, as well as an additional half wave within the string.

If the number of waves in the circuit is known, the comparison between standing wavelength and circuit length can be calculated algebraically. The general expression for this given as,

$L=\frac{n \lambda}{2}$

For first harmonic, n =1

$L=\frac{\lambda}{2}$

For second harmonic, n =2

$L=\frac{2 \lambda}{2}=\lambda$

For third harmonic, n =3

$L=\frac{3 \lambda}{2}$

$\lambda=\frac{2 L}{3}$ -------> eq. 2

Here given f = 939 Hz, L = 0.58 m...And, substitute eq 2 in eq 1 and values, we get

$v=\frac{2 \times 0.58 \times 989}{3}=\frac{1089.24}{3}=363.08 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$

What creates the solar wind?

UNO [17]

Answer:

The solar wind is created by the outward expansion of plasma (a collection of charged particles) from the Sun's corona (outermost atmosphere). This plasma is continually heated to the point that the Sun's gravity can't hold it down. It then travels along the Sun's magnetic field lines that extend radially outward.
