(a) 
The radiation pressure exerted by an electromagnetic wave on a surface that totally absorbs the radiation is given by

where
I is the intensity of the wave
c is the speed of light
In this problem,

and substituting
, we find the radiation pressure

(b) 
Since we know the cross-sectional area of the laser beam:

starting from the radiation pressure found at point (a), we can calculate the force exerted on a tritium atom:

And then, since we know the mass of the atom

we can find the acceleration, by using Newton's second law:

Nope, I disagree with the former answer. The answer is definitely Z. <u>W area</u> (boxed with red outline) is represented as the hot reservoir while <u>Z area</u> is the cold reservoir (boxed with blue outline). X area is the heat engine itself and Y area is the work produced from thermal energy from hot reservoir. Typically, all heat engines lose some heat to the environment (based from the second law of thermodynamics) that is symbolically illustrated by the lost energy in the cold reservoir. This lost thermal energy is basically the unusable thermal energy. The higher thermal energy lost, the less efficient your heat engine is.
Answer:
46.4 s
Explanation:
5 minutes = 60 * 5 = 300 seconds
Let g = 9.8 m/s2. And
be the slope of the road, s be the distance of the road, a be the acceleration generated by Rob, 3a/4 is the acceleration generated by Jim . Both of their motions are subjected to parallel component of the gravitational acceleration
Rob equation of motion can be modeled as s = a_Rt_R^2/2 = a300^2/2 = 45000a[/tex]
Jim equation of motion is
As both of them cover the same distance
So Jim should start 346.4 – 300 = 46.4 seconds earlier than Rob in other to reach the end at the same time
Answer:
7.9 
Explanation:
Take the fact that mass is inversely proportional to accelertation:
m ∝ a
Therefore m = a, but because we are finding the change in acceleration, we would set our problem up to look more like this:

Using algebra, we can rearrange our equation to find the final acceleration,
:

Before plugging everything in, since you are being asked to find acceleration, you will want to convert 0.85g to m/s^2. To do this, multiply by g, which is equal to 9.8 m/s^2:
0.85g * 9.8
= 8.33
Plug everything in:
7.9
= 
(1590kg the initial weight plus the weight of the added passenger)
