Apossible means of space flight is to place a perfectly reflecting aluminized sheet into orbit around the earth and then use the light from the sun to push this "solar sail." suppose a sail of area a = 5.50 105 m2 and mass m = 6.70 103 kg is placed in orbit facing the sun. ignore all gravitational effects and assume a solar intensity of 1 370 w/m2. (a) what force is exerted on the sail? n (b) what is the sail's acceleration? µm/s2 (c) assuming the acceleration calculated in part (b) remains constant, find the time interval required for the sail to reach the moon, 3.84 108 m away, starting from rest at the earth. days

You have been hired to design a spring-launched roller coaster thatwill carry two passengers per car. the car goes up a 10-m highhill, then descends 15m to the track's lowest point. you'vedetermined that the spring can be compressed a maximum o 2.0m andthat a loaded car will have a maximum mass of 400kg. for safetyreasons, the spring constant should be 10% larger than the minimumneeded for the car to just make it over the top. a) what spring constant (k) should you specify ? b) what is the maximum speed of a 350 kg car if the spring iscompressed the full amount.
