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 the total force F on the panels exerted by radiation pressure from the sunlight?
Express the total force numerically, to two significant figures, in units of newtons.

Examine the nuclear reacti why is this classified as a nuclear reaction rather than a chemical reaction? it is not balanced. a new compound is formed. a change has occurred in a nucleus. a new element has been formed.

The sun’s mass is 2.0×10^ 30 kg, its radius is 7.0×10 5 km, and it has a rotational period of approximately 28 days. if the sun should collapse into a white dwarf of radius 3.5×10 3 km, what would its period be if no mass were ejected and a sphere of uniform density can model the sun both before and after?

Find the steady-state temperature at the center of the plate = /2, = /2) for sums of w from n=1 to n=19 (only odd values). find the value of n for which the change in /2, /2) is less than 1% from the value at the previous n. at this point, we consider the solution converged. does the value of the temperature at the center seem reasonable? in this part, the values of x and y are constant scalar values. you should produce a plot of the value of n on the horizontal and the estimate of the temperature at the center of the plate on the vertical. b. using the value of n (or larger) that resulted in convergence in part (a), create a contourf plot of the temperature distribution across the entire plate. use enough spatial subdivisions to create a useful plot. comment on the results. hint: you need to determine what “x” and “y” values to use to make your t matrix. i recommend using a different number of x and y values. use enough x and y values so that the plot is “smooth”.
