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

A small charged sphere is attached to a thread and placed in an electric field. The other end of the thread is anchored so that
Katyanochek1 [597]

To find the magnitude and direction of the electric field, let us find the horizontal and vertical components of the field separately, then we will use those values to calculate the total magnitude and direction.

The tension in the thread is 6.57×10⁻²N and the thread is aligned horizontally, so the tension force is directed entirely horizontally. The sphere is in static equilibrium, therefore the horizontal component of the electrostatic force acting on the sphere, Fx, must act in the opposite direction of the tension and have a magnitude of 6.57×10⁻²N. We know this equation relating a charge, an electric field, and the force that the field exerts on the charge:

F = Eq

F is the electric force, E is the electric field, and q is the charge

Let us adjust the equation for only the horizontal components of the above quantities:

Fx = (Ex)(q)

Fx is the horizontal component of the electric force and Ex is the horizontal component of the electric field.

Given values:

F = 6.57×10⁻²N

q = 6.80×10³C

Plug in these values and solve for Ex:

6.57x10⁻² = Ex(6.80×10³)

<u>Ex = 9.66×10⁻⁶N/C</u>

<u />

Since the sphere is in static equilibrium, the vertical component of the electrostatic force acting on the sphere, Fy, must have the same magnitude and act in the opposite direction of the sphere's weight. If we assume the weight to act downwards, then Fy must act upward.

We know the weight of the sphere is given by:

W = mg

W is the weight, m is the mass, and g is the acceleration of objects due to earth's gravity field near its surface.

We also know this equation:

F = Eq

Let us adjust for the vertical components:

Fy = (Ey)(q)

Set Fy equal to W and we get:

(Ey)(q) = mg

Given values:

q = 6.80×10³C

m = 0.018kg

g = 9.81m/s²

Plug in the values and solve for Ey:

(Ey)(6.80×10³) = 0.018(9.81)

<u>Ey = 2.60×10⁻⁵N/C</u>

<u />

Let's now use the Pythagorean theorem to find the total magnitude of the electric field:

E = \sqrt{Ex^{2}+Ey^{2}}

E = 2.77×10⁻⁵N/C

The direction of the electric field is given by:

θ = tan⁻¹(Ey/Ex)

θ = 20.4° off the horizontal

If the index of refraction of a lens is 1.5, how fast does light travel in the lens?
Len [333]
The speed of light in a material is given by:
v= \frac{c}{n}
where
c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light in vacuum
n is the refractive index of the material

The lens in this problem has a refractive index of n=1.50, therefore the speed of light in the lens is
v= \frac{c}{n}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.50}=2 \cdot 10^8 m/s

And the correct answer is C).

Please could someone explain this.
icang [17]

This problem is to let you practice using Newton's second law of motion:

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

-- The airplane's mass when it takes off (before it burns any of its load of fuel) is 320,000 kg.

-- The force available is (240,000 N/per engine) x (4 engines) = 960,000 N.

-- Now you know ' F ' and ' mass '.  Use Newton's second law of motion to calculate the plane's acceleration.
