Explanation:
Given that,
Average power of sun 
We need to calculate the intensity of light at Earth's position
Using formula of intensity
Where, I = intensity
P = power
Put the value into the formula
So, The intensity is 1347.616 W/m².
(A). We need to calculate the pressure on a solar sail due to the light of the sun if it's fully reflective
Using formula for fully reflective
Put the value into the formula
(B). We need to calculate the pressure on a solar sail due to the light of the sun if it's fully reflective
Using formula for fully absorptive
Hence, This is the required solution.
Answer:
C) 7.35*10⁶ N/C radially outward
Explanation:
- If we apply the Gauss'law, to a spherical gaussian surface with radius r=7 cm, due to the symmetry, the electric field must be normal to the surface, and equal at all points along it.
- So, we can write the following equation:
- As the electric field must be zero inside the conducting spherical shell, this means that the charge enclosed by a spherical gaussian surface of a radius between 4 and 5 cm, must be zero too.
- So, the +8 μC charge of the solid conducting sphere of radius 2cm, must be compensated by an equal and opposite charge on the inner surface of the conducting shell of total charge -4 μC.
- So, on the outer surface of the shell there must be a charge that be the difference between them:
- Replacing in (1) A = 4*π*ε₀, and Qenc = +4 μC, we can find the value of E, as follows:
- As the charge that produces this electric field is positive, and the electric field has the same direction as the one taken by a positive test charge under the influence of this field, the direction of the field is radially outward, away from the positive charge.
The bimetallic strip in a fire alarm is made of two metals with different expansion rates bonded together to form one piece of metal. Typically, the low-expansion side is made of a nickel-iron alloy called Invar, while the high-expansion side is an alloy of copper or nickel. The strip is electrically energized with a low-voltage current. When the strip is heated by fire, the high-expansion side bends the strip toward an electrical contact. When the strip touches that contact, it completes a circuit that triggers the alarm to sound. The width of the gap between the contacts determines the temperature that will set off the alarm.
Answer: Often lightning occurs between clouds or inside a cloud. But the lightning we usually care about most is the lightning that goes from clouds to ground.
Explanation: As the storm moves over the ground, the strong negative charge in the cloud attracts positive charges in the ground.
