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:
Work done will be 2.205 j
Explanation:
We have given that the spring is compressed b 37.5 cm
So d = 0.375 m
Mass of the block m = 600 gram = 0.6 kg
Acceleration due to gravity
Gravitational force on the block
Now we know that work done is give by
That's "<em><u>insolation</u></em>" ... not "insulation".
'Insolation' is simply the intensity of solar radiation over some area.
If 200 kW of radiation is shining on 300 m² of area, then the insolation is
(200 kW) / (300 m²) = <em>(666 and 2/3) watt/m²</em> .
Note that this is the intensity of the <em><u>incident</u></em> radiation. It doesn't say anything
about how much soaks in or how much bounces off.
Wait !
I just looked back at the choices, and realized that I didn't answer the question
at all. I have no idea what "1 sun" means. Forgive me. I have stolen your
points, and I am filled with remorse.
Wait again !
I found it, through literally several seconds of online research.
1 sun = 1 kW/m².
So 2/3 of a kW per m² = 2/3 of 1 sun
That's between 0.5 sun and 1.0 sun.
I feel better now, and plus, I learned something.
