Why does static electricity, the buildup of charge on a material's surface, occur in insulating material

Ogle–2013–blg–0723 is an exoplanet that is similar to earth in size and proximity to its star. this exoplanet has mass m=4.18×1024kg and radius r=5.66×106m. an astronaut whose weight on earth is w=735n lands on the planet. a. calculate m, the mass of the astronaut. b. calculate gp? , the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of ogle–2013–blg–0723. c. calculate wp? , the weight of the astronaut on the surface of ogle–2013–blg–0723. d. calculate v, the minimum velocity required to put an object into orbit above ogle–2013–blg–0723. e. calculate t, the time required to complete an orbit around ogle–2013–blg–0723.

An ideal polarizer with its transmission axis rotated 30 degrees to the vertical is placed in a beam of unpolarized light of intensity 10w/m^2. after passing through the polarizer, what is the intensity of the beam? a. 8.7 w/m^2 b. 7.5 w/m^2 c. 5.0 w/m^2 d. 10 w/m^2 e. 2.5 w/m^2

The magnitude of the poynting vector of a planar electromagnetic wave has an average value of 0.939 w/m^2 . the wave is incident upon a rectangular area, 1.5 m by 2.0 m, at right angles. how much total electromagnetic energy falls on the area during 1.0 minute?
