The original laser beam will be very large (~1 km in diameter). Initially neglecting spreading of the beam
(valid when a nanocraft is close to earth), estimate the acceleration that the nanocraft will feel, assuming
the total laser power over the entire 1-km diameter is a sustained 100 GigaWatts (1 GigaWatt = 10
9 W). Don't
forget to account for the finite size of the sail, or the fact that it is 100% reflective.
a. 330,000 m/s^2
b. 10.7 m/s^2
c. 3.2 m/s^2
d. 0.23 m/s^2
e. 670,000 m/s^2

(2) (a) you have a simple circuit that consists of only a battery (δvbat=1.5v) and two resistors with resistance r1=10ω and r2=5ω, connected in series with each other. what is the current running through the battery? (b) you re-arrange your circuit so now r2 is attached in parallel to r1 rather than in series. what is the current running through the battery? (c) you add an additional resistor r3=7ω on the same branch as r2. what is the current running through the battery? (d) what is the power dissipated in r3?
