Answer:

A) P_rad.abs = 2.4 × 10^(-8) Pa and P_rad.ref = 4.8 × 10^(-8) Pa

B) P_rad.abs = 2.369 × 10^(-13) atm and P_rad.ref = 4.738 × 10^(-13) atm

Explanation:

A) The formula for radiation pressure for absorbed light is given as;

P_rad = I/c

Where I is the intensity = 7.20 W/m² and c is the speed of light = 3 × 10^(8) m/s

Thus;

P_rad = 7.2/(3 × 10^(8))

P_rad.abs = 2.4 × 10^(-8) Pa

Now formula for radiation pressure for reflected light is given as;

P_rad = 2I/c

Thus;

P_rad = (2 × 7.2)/(3 × 10^(8))

P_rad.ref = 4.8 × 10^(-8) Pa

B) Now, 1.013 × 10^(5) Pa = 1 atm

Thus, for the absorbed surface, we have;

P_rad.abs = (2.4 × 10^(-8))/(1.013 × 10^(5))

P_rad.abs = 2.369 × 10^(-13) atm

For the reflecting surface, we have;

P_rad_ref = (4.8 × 10^(-8))/(1.013 × 10^(5))

P_rad.ref = 4.738 × 10^(-13) atm

who brought astronomy out of the dark ages by declaring: "finally we shall place the sun himself at the center of the universe.

solong [7]

Nicolaus Copernicus was the one who brought astronomy out of the dark ages.

In one of his books "On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies", he published the renowned line which declares his theory.

Nicolaus Copernicus, A polish astronomer put forward the theory that the is th Sun one that rests in the middle or center of the Universe and the planet Earth revolves around it on its axis every day.which was considered to be called the Heliocentric system.

A piano string having a mass per unit length equal to 5.00× 10⁻³kg / m is under a tension of 1350N . Find the speed with which a

DiKsa [7]

Based on the mass per unit length and the tension, the speed that the wave travels on this string is 519.615 m/s.

<h3>What is the speed?</h3><h3 />

The speed that the wave travels can be found as:

Velocity² = Tension / Mass per length

Solving gives:

Velocity² = 1,350 / 0.005

Velocity² = 270,000

Velocity = √270,000

= 519.615 m/s

1. B
It comes from Newton's law of universal gravitation.
<span><span>,
</span></span> $F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}$ <span><span>
</span></span>
Where:
F is the force between the masses, (the one we are looking for)G is the gravitational constant,m1 is the first mass (Earth)m2 is the second mass (sattelite)r is the distance between the centers of the masses.As you can see except for m2, all other values are the same.
If mass is bigger the force grows.
2. D.
Again check the formula. The bigger distance, the smaller force. So, closer = bigger force.
3.C It will increase.Ohm's law:
$I= \frac{V}{R}$
Where:
I is the current.
V is voltage
R is the resistance.
In order for current to remain the same, while voltage increases, the resistance has to increase accordingly.
