Sunlight above the Earth's atmosphere has an intensity of 1.36 kW/m2. If this is reflected straight back from a mirror that has only a small recoil, the light's momentum is exactly reversed, giving the mirror twice the incident momentum. (a) Calculate the force per square meter of mirror (in N/m2). N/m2 (b) Very low mass mirrors can be constructed in the near weightlessness of space, and attached to a spaceship to sail it. Once done, the average mass per square meter of the spaceship is 0.170 kg. Find the acceleration (in m/s2) of the spaceship if all other forces are balanced. m/s2 (c) How fast (in m/s) is it moving 24 hours later

a)  

b)  

c)  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Intensity I= 1.36 kW/m2=>1360W/m

b)Average mass per square meter m = 0.170 kg

c)

a)

Generally the equation for force per square meter  is mathematically given by

b)

Generally the equation for force  is mathematically given by

F=ma

Therefore

c)

Generally the Newton's equation for Motion is mathematically given by

a charge 3q is at the origin, and a charge −2q is on the positive x axis at x=a. part a where on the x-axis would you place a third charge so it would experience no net electric force? enter an expression for the exact answer, which will involve a square-root sign. (do not enter an approximate decimal answer.)
