A communications satellite orbiting the earth has solar panels that completely absorb all sunlight incident upon them. The total area A of the panels is 10m2. 1) The intensity of the sun's radiation incident upon the earth is about I=1.4kW/m2. Suppose this is the value for the intensity of sunlight incident upon the satellite's solar panels. What is the total solar power P absorbed by the panels? Express your answer numerically in kilowatts to two significant figures. 2) What is...
Q8) A satellite has a solar panel that provides 1.0 kW when directed normal to the sun at distance R from the sun. If the satellite is moved in to 0.3R from the sun, at what angle should the solar panel be tilted in order to continue to provide 1.0 kW of power? [Answer in degrees.]
A satellite in Earth orbit maintains a panel of solar cells of area 4.59 m2 perpendicular to the direction of the Sun's light rays. The intensity of the light at the panel is 1.57 kW/m2. (a) At what rate does solar energy arrive at the panel? (b) At what rate are solar photons absorbed by the panel? Assume that the solar radiation is monochromatic, with a wavelength of 550 nm, and that all the solar radiation striking the panel is...
please show all steps Problem 4 An earth-orbiting satellite has solar energy collecting panels with a total area of 4.0 m Fig. 32.21). If the sun's radiation is perpen dicular to the panels and is completely absorbed, find the average solar power absorbed and the average radiation-pressure force Sun sensor (to keep panels facing the sun) Solar panels
NASA is about to launch a sun satellite (satellite orbiting the sun) that has the same period as the Earth so that when the Earth completes its orbital revolution, it will intercept the satellite at the point of launch and receive the data. What shall be the velocity (magnitude & direction) of satellite when it just leaves the Earth? The revolving velocity of Earth is V0. You can assume the solar orbit of Earth is a circle.
Calculate the period of a satellite orbiting the Moon, 95 km above the Moon's surface. Ignore effects of the Earth. The radius of the Moon is 1740 km. Express your answer using three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

A wall panel is insulated on the back and exposed to solar radiation on the front surface. The exposed surface of the plate has an absorptivity α = 0.8 for radiation (i.e. 80% of radiant energy is absorbed). Solar radiation arrives to the panel at a rate of 1 kW⁄m2. The panel emissivity ϵ = 1 and the surrounding air temperature is 25°C. a. If we assume radiation is the only mechanism of heat transfer, in this scenario determine the...
Acceleration due to gravity on board of your spaceship that orbits Jupiter is 25.89 m/s. How high is your spaceship above Jupiter's cloud tops? Express your answer in kilometers and round it to the nearest integer. M Jupiter = 1.90 x 104 kg; R Jupiter = 69,911 km. Your cosmic journey brought you into the vicinity of a neutron star. In fact, you are orbiting this neutron star at an orbital distance of 22.424 kilometers. The neutron star has mass...
