You've recently read about a chemical laser that generates a 20-cm-diameter, 27.0 MW laser beam. One day, after physics class, you start to wonder if you could use the radiation pressure from this laser beam to launch small payloads into orbit. To see if this might be feasible, you do a quick calculation of the acceleration of a 20-cm-diameter, 92.0 kg,perfectly absorbing block.

a. You've recently read about a chemical laser that generates a 20.0-cm-diameter, 27.0 MW laser beam. One day, after physics class, you start to wonder if you could use the radiation pressure from this laser beam to launch small payloads into orbit. To see if this might be feasible, you do a quick calculation of the acceleration of a 20.0-cm-diameter, 107 kg, perfectly absorbing block.What speed would such a block have if pushed horizontally 103 m along a frictionless track...
Problem 34.56 Part A You've recently read about a chemical laser that generates a 20.0-cm- What speed would such a block have if pushed horizontally 96.0 m along a frictionless track by such a laser? Express your answer with the appropriate units. diameter, 22.0 MW laser beam. One day, after physics class, you start to wonder if you could use the radiation pressure from this laser beam to launch small payloads into orbit. To see if this might be feasible,...
A 2.0 mW laser produces a beam of light with a diameter of 2.7 mm shines its light on a perfectly absorbing surface. How much energy does the surface receive in 14 s ? What is the radiation pressure exerted by the beam?
