A possible 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 = 5.20 ✕ 105 m2 and mass m = 6,800 kg is placed in orbit facing the Sun. Ignore all gravitational effects and assume a solar intensity of 1,370 W/m2. (d) What If? If the solar sail were initially in Earth orbit at an altitude of 300 km, show that a sail of this mass density could not escape Earth's gravitational pull regardless of size. (Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational field in m/s2.) m/s2 (e) What would the mass density (in kg/m2) of the solar sail have to be for the solar sail to attain the same initial acceleration as that in part (b)? kg/m2
The Sun has a surface temperature of 5770 K, a radius of 6.96 × 105 km, an average distance from Earth of1.496 × 108 km, and radiates e/m radiation into space isotropically. Earth is a sphere with a radius of 6378 km,and on average absorbs 30 percent of the sunlight that shines on it, with the rest reflected back into space.Both the Sun and Earth are opaque to e/m radiation of all wavelengths, so intensity I = σT4, where σ is theStefan-Boltzmann constant and T is Kelvin temperature. Calculate the temperature (in Kelvins) of Earth.

Imagine a satellite located at a distance from the Sun of D = 151.1 × 10³ m. The satellite has a Solar Sail with a diameter of d = 1 km = 10³ m. The total mass of the satellite and sunshield is m = 100 kg. Calculate the acceleration of satellite resulting from radiation pressure of the Sun. Assume that the Solar Sail is oriented perpendicular to the Sun's rays, and that it is a perfect mirror and reflects every photon that strikes it. Give your answer in units of m/s² to at least 3 significant digits. Remember that entering scientific notation you should use (for example) 3.141592e-2 for 0.0314159. (You may also type in "0.0314159" - either should work).
