Question 3 (7 pts): You shine a laser of intensity 2000 W/m2 onto a reflective solar sail in a vacuum. If the solar sail has an area of 10 m2 and a mass of 100 kg, how long will it take to go from rest to 1000 m/s? Assume that the force from the light is the only force acting on the solar sail.

Part (a) Homework. Unanswered We have a rather small solar sail, which has a mass of 30.0 kg, and a sail area of 60000 m. At a particular distance from the Sun, the Sun's gravitational field is 0.004 N/kg, and the intensity of sunlight is 1000 W/m². Assuming the plane of the sail is perpendicular to the incident light, and the light is 100% reflected, what is the magnitude of the force exerted on the sail by the light? N...

A possible means of space flight is to place a perfectly reflecting aluminized sheet into orbit around the Earth and then use the light from the Sun to push this "solar sail." Suppose a sail of area A 5.9010 m2 and mass m 4,800 kg is placed in orbit facing the Sun. Ignore all gravitational effects and assume a solar intensity of 1,370 W/m2 (a) What force (in N) is exerted on the sail? (Enter the magnitude.) 4.47 If you...
