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

Properties can be observed only when the substance in a sample of matter are changing into different substance
Zolol [24]

The complete statement is "chemical properties can be observed only when the substance in a sample of matter are changing into different substance".


It states a key concept in chemistry.


A chemical property is the ability of a substance, element or compound, to <em>transform</em> into other substances either <em>by decomposing or by combining</em> with one or more substances.


This transformation is defined as chemical reaction.


During chemical reactions some chemical bonds  are broken and others are formed leading to the formation of one or more different substances called products.


Some examples of chemical properties are: reactivity with oxygen, reactivity with water, acidity, basicity, oxidation, reduction. The only way to tell if a substance has certain chemical property is by letting it react and so observe the change of the original substance into one or more different substances.

A ball traveling with an initial momentum of 5.1 kgm/s bounces off a wall and comes back in the opposite direction with a moment
Elina [12.6K]

Answer: Change in momentum=9.4kgm/s

Impulse=9.4kgm/s

Explanation:

Change in momentum=5.1-(-4.3)=5.1+4.3=9.4kgm/s

Impulse=Change in momentum

There impulse=9.4kgm/s

In 2-3 complete sentences, explain why the needle on a compass always points in the direction of magnetic north.
Alex17521 [72]
The needle on a compass always points in the direction of magnetic north because of the magnetic poles of earth. the compass is essentially a magnet itself, so the southern pole of the compass is attracted to the northern pole of earth.

You sit at the outer rim of a Ferris Wheel that rotates 2 revolutions per minute (RPM). What would your rotational speed be if y
svetoff [14.1K]
Your rotational speed would still be the same. This is because all parts of the Ferris wheel rotate together. Your linear speed however would change. That is a function of radius. But the question is asking about rotational speed and that does not change in this situation
