NASA is giving serious consideration to the concept of solar sailing. A solar sailcraft uses a large, lowmass sail and the energy and momentum of sunlight for propulsion.
a. Should the sail be absorbing or reflective? Why?
b. The total power output of the sun is 3.9×10^26W. How large a sail is necessary to propel a 10,000-kg spacecraft against the gravitational force of the sun? Express your result in square kilometers.
c. Explain why your answer to part (b) is independent of the distance from the sun.
