That waves travel faster than the wave lenght!
Answer:
Reflective
Explanation:
The radiation pressure of the wave that totally absorbed is given by;

and While the radiation pressure of the wave totally reflected is given by;

Now compare the two-equation you can clearly see that the pressure due to reflection is larger than absorption therefore the sail should be reflective.
Answer:
The net force is 500N downwards
Explanation:
When Haley is trying to pull an object upward. The below forces are acting on the object.
Fp = 5500N
Fg = 6000N
because the force of gravity is more than the force of the pull.
Fnet = Fg - Fp = 6000N - 5500N = 500N
And, the direction of the resultant force is the direction of the larger force.
