NASA is giving serious consideration to the concept of solar sailing. A solar sailcraft uses a large, low mass sail and the energy and momentum of sunlight for propulsion.
(a) Should the sail be absorbing or reflective? Why?
(b) How large a sail is necessary to propel a 10000kg
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.
The gravitational constant is G=6.67×10−11m3⋅s−2⋅kg−1.
The mass of the sun is Ms=1.99×1030kg.
