Answer:

Mass of the man = 100 kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the Earth, M = 6×10²⁴ kg

The radius of the Earth, r = 6400 km

Force on man, F = 977 N

We need to find the mass of the man. Let the mass of the man be m. The gravitational force acting between two objects is given by :

F=G\dfrac{mM}{r^2}\\\\m=\dfrac{Fr^2}{GM}\\\\m=\dfrac{977\times (6400\times 10^3)^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 6\times 10^{24}}\\\\m=99.99\ kg

or

m = 100 kg

So, the mass of the man is 100 kg.

A black, totally absorbing piece of cardboard of area a = 2.1 cm2 intercepts light with an intensity of 8.8 w/m2 from a camera s
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The value of radiation pressure is 2.933 \times 10^{-8} Pa

Explanation:

Given:

Intensity I = 8.8 \frac{W}{m^{2} }

Area of piece A = 2.1 \times 10^{-4} m^{2}

From the formula of radiation pressure in terms of intensity,

   P = \frac{I}{c}

Where P = radiation pressure, c = speed of light

We know value of speed of light,

 c = 3 \times 10^{8} \frac{m}{s}

Put all values in above equation,

  P = \frac{8.8}{3 \times 10^{8} }

  P = 2.933 \times 10^{-8} Pa

Therefore, the value of radiation pressure is 2.933 \times 10^{-8} Pa

What happens to infrared radiation when it comes to contact wih a shiny suface
Ksivusya [100]

If a surface looks "shiny" to you, that's because it reflects all
or most of the visible light that hits it.  That doesn't always mean
that the same surface reflects other, non-visible wavelengths of
light.  Infrared radiation may also reflect off of it, and probably
does.  But you can't be sure just because it's visibly shiny.
