Answer:

1.15*10^-7 N/m²

Explanation:

Radiation pressure is the pressure exerted on any surface, as a result of the exchange of momentum between the object and its electromagnetic field.

The formula to calculate radiation pressure on a perfect absorber is

P = s/c, where

P = radiation pressure

s = intensity of light

c = speed of light

Now, on substituting the values and plugging it into the equation, we have

P = 34.5 / 3*10^8

P = 1.15*10^-7 N/m²

therefore, radiation pressure is found to be 1.15*10^-7 N/m²

jasenka [17]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The object would fall 57.625 m in the first 5 seconds

Explanation:

To solve the question, we note that

the height of fall = 490 ft = ‪149.352‬ m

Time to touch the ground = 7 seconds

We are required to find out how far the object falls in the first 5 seconds

We apply the relation

S = u·t + 0.5×g·t ² = We then have

‪149.352‬ = U×7+0.5*9.81*49 From where u = -13 m/s

Therefore to find how far it falls in the first 5 seconds, we have

-13*5 + 0.5*9.81*25 = 57.625 m

A helium-filled balloon occupies a volume of 15 cubic meters at sea level. the balloon is released and raises to a point in the
Elena L [17]

According to Boyle’s law, For a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, P (pressure) and V (volume) are inversely proportional.

Therefore,

P_{1} V_{1} =P_{2} V_{2}

Given P_{1} = 1 atm , V_{1} = 15 \ cubic \ meter and P_{2} = 0.75\ atm.

Thus,

V_{2} = \frac{P_{1}\times V_{1}  }{ P_{2} } = \frac{1\times 15}{0.75} =20 m^3

How fast must a bug swim to keep up with the waves it produces? How fast must it move to produce a bow wave?
Elden [556K]

Answer:

A bug must swim as fast as the wave speed to keep up with the waves it produces. Moreso, a boat must be moving faster than the waves it creates to produce a bow wave.

You have 4.9 g of an unknown substance. To identify the substance, you decide to measure its specific heat and find that it requ
kifflom [539]

The unknown substance can be lithium, which has a specific heat capacity of approximately 3.5 J/gK.

Explanation:

When heat energy is supplied to a certain substance, the temperature of the substance increases according to the equation:

Q=mC_s \Delta T

where

Q is the amount of energy supplied

m is the mass of the sample

C_s is the specific heat capacity of the substance

\Delta T is the change in temperature

In this problem, we have

m = 4.9 g is the mass

Q = 668.85 J is the specific heat capacity

\Delta T = 39 K is the change in temperature

Solving for C_s, we find the specific heat capacity of the substance:

C_s = \frac{Q}{m\Delta T}=\frac{668.85}{(4.9)(39)}=3.5 J/gK

Looking at tables of specific heat capacity, we can see that the unknown substance can be lithium, which has a specific heat capacity of approximately 3.5 J/gK.
