A microbe is ejected from its home planet by a violent event such as a volcanic eruption or a meteorite impact. The subsequent fate of the microbe depends on the balance of the two main forces that act on it, namely, the gravitational attraction of the star around which the planet orbits and radiation pressure due to the luminosity of the star. Required:
Model the microbe as a dark sphere of radius a at a distance r from the star. Assume that the total power radiated by the star P = 1.0 x 1031 J/s (greater than that of the sun by a factor of 30,000). Derive an expression for the radiation force on the microbe. Give your answer in terms of p, r, c and a.

James is trying to prove newton's 2nd law of motion. he tries to move four different objects with different masses, shapes, and sizes from point a to point b. the objects are a toy car, a car, a refrigerator, and a kitchen table. after some experimentation, he finds that force is dependent on the mass of the object, rather than it's size or shape. the object that takes the most force to move is the

During the experiment if you could triple the breakaway magnetic force with all other quantities left unchanged, what is the new value for the critical velocity if it was v0 (initial velocity), initially? (b) now if you halved the radius with all other quantities left unchanged, what is the new critical velocity if it was v0 (initial velocity), initially? (c) if during the experiment, critical velocity quadrupled with all other quantities left unchanged, what is the new breakaway force if its magnitude was initially f0,?
