Radiation from the sun reaching earth (just outside the atmosphere) has an intensity of 1.43 kw/m2. (a) assuming that earth (and its atmosphere) behaves like a flat disk perpendicular to the sun's rays and that all the incident energy is absorbed, calculate the force on earth due to radiation pressure. (b) for comparison, calculate the force due to the sun's gravitational attraction. assume that the speed of light and earth radius are 2.998 × 108 m/s and 6.37 thousand km respectively.

A3030 cmcm wrench is used to loosen a bolt with a force applied 0.30.3 mm from the bolt. it takes 6060 nn to loosen the bolt when the force is applied perpendicular to the wrench. how much force would it take if the force was applied at a 3030 degree angle from perpendicular? a 3030 cmcm wrench is used to loosen a bolt with a force applied 0.30.3 mm from the bolt. it takes 6060 nn to loosen the bolt when the force is applied perpendicular to the wrench. how much force would it take if the force was applied at a 3030 degree angle from perpendicular?

Two students, each riding bicycles, start from the same apartment building and ride to the same building on campus, but each takes a different route. the first student rides 1100 m due east and then turns due north and travels another 1430 m before arriving at the destination. the second student heads due north for 1930 m and then turns and heads directly toward the destination. at the turning point, how far is the second student from the destination?
