As a comet swings around the Sun, ice on the comet's surface vaporizes, releasing trapped dust particles and ions. The ions, because they are electrically charged, are forced by the electrically charged solar windinto a straight ion tail that points radially away from the Sun (see the figure). The (electrically neutral) dust particles are pushed radially outward from the Sun by the radiation force on them from sunlight. Assumethat the dust particles are spherical, have density 3.9 x 103kg/m3, and are totally absorbing.

Large quantities of dust should have been left behind after the creation of the solar system. Larger dust particles, comparable in size to soot and sand grains, are common. They create shooting stars when they collide with the earth's atmosphere. But very small dust particles are conspicuously absent. Astronomers believe that the very small dust particles have been blown out of the solar system by the sun. By comparing the forces on dust particles, determine the diameter of the smallest dust particles that can remain in the solar system over long periods of time. Assume that the dust particles are spherical, black, and have a density of 2000kg/m^3. The sun emits electromagnetic radiation with a power of 3.9×10^26W.

Two parallel disks of diameter D = 3 ft separatedby L = 2 ft are located directly on top of each other. Thedisks are separated by a radiation shield whose emissivity is0.15. Both disks are black and are maintained at temperaturesof 1200 R and 700 R, respectively. The environment that thedisks are in can be considered to be a blackbody at 540 R.Determine the net rate of radiation heat transfer through theshield under steady conditions.
The energy flux from the sun has a peak value of around 1500 W/m2, and solar cells are around 15% efficient. Estimate the area needed to satisfy US energy needs using solar cells, using the estimates that there are about 350 million people in the US and that we use an average of 90 kW/person. Also assume that there are about 6 hours of "peak" sunlight per day. Answer in square kilometers (do not put units in your answer, however).
On a very clear day in summer the solar intensity in the 'little lattitudes' might reach 1000 W/m2 (averaged over time). What would be the maximum value for the electric vector?
The spectrum of a star is used to measure its radial velocity with respect to the Sun, the component of the star's velocity vector that is pa rallel to a vector connecting the star's centre to the centre of the Sun. The measurement relies on the Doppler effect, in which rad iation is shiftedin frequency when the source is moving towards or away from the observer. When a star emitting electromagnetic radiation of frequency v moves with a speed s relative to an observer, the observer detects radiation of f requency vreceding, = vf or vapproaching = v/f, where f = {(1 - s/c)/(1 + s/c)}1/2 and c is the speed of light.
