The orbiting space shuttle moves around earth well above 99% of the atmosphere, yet it still accumulates an electric charge on its skin due, in part, to the loss of electrons by the photoelectric effect with sunlight. suppose the skin of the shuttle is coated with ni, which has a relatively large work function f=4.87 ev at the temperatures encountered in orbit. (a) what is the maximum wavelength in the solar spectrum that can result in the emission of photoelectrons from the shuttle’s skin? (b) what is the maximum fraction of the total power falling on the shuttle that could potentially produce photoelectrons?

One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. there are several thousand masses large enough to detect by radar orbiting the earth, but there are far greater numbers of very small masses such as flakes of paint. calculate the force exerted by a 0.110 mg chip of paint that strikes a space shuttle window at a relative speed of 5.00 ✕ 103 m/s and sticks, given the collision lasts 6.00 ✕ 10-8 s. such a collision chipped the window of the ill-fated challenger in june 1983, causing $50,000 of damage.
