- 1. You've recently read about a chemical laser that generates a 20-cm-diameter, 25 MW laser beam. One day, after physics class, you start to wonder if you could use the radiation pressure from this laser beam to launch small payloads into orbit. To see if this might be feasible, you do a quick calculation of the acceleration of a 20-cm-diameter, 100 kg, perfectly absorbing block. What speed would such a block have if pushed horizontally 100 m along a frictionless track by such a laser?arrow_forwardQB2d. Calculate the EMF induced in the railway carriage wheel of radius R=840 mm by the magnetic field of the Earth. Consider that the magnetic field of the Earth makes an angle of 71.5 deg with the horizontal surface of the railway track. Take the speed of the carriage to be v = = 158 km h¹ and the value of the magnetic field of the Earth B = 10-5 T. Provide your answer in microvolts (10-6 V=1 μV): for example, if you calculated the value to be 0.000075 V, then enter 75 as your answer. Enter your answer in the box below.arrow_forwardHence show that the wave equation for the magnetic field is V²H+k²H=0 where k = ₁√√μ₁&arrow_forward
