Sunlight above the Earth's atmosphere has an intensity of 1.39 kW/m2. If this is reflected straight back from a mirror that has only a small recoil, the light's momentum is exactly reversed, giving the mirror twice the incident momentum. Calculate the force per square meter of mirror (in N/m2). b) Very low mass mirrors can be constructed in the near weightlessness of space, and attached to a spaceship to sail it. Once done, the average mass per square meter of the spaceship is 0.162 kg. Find the acceleration (in m/s2) of the spaceship if all other forces are balanced. c) How fast (in m/s) is it moving 24 hours later? (Assume the spaceship started from rest.)

2. An alternative derivation of the mass-energy formula E, = moc² also given by Einstein, is based on the principle that the location of the center of mass (CM) of an isolated system cannot be changed by any process that occurs inside the system. The Figure below shows a rigid box of length L that rests on a frictionless surface; the mass M of the box is equally divided between its two ends. A burst of electromagnetic radiation of energy E, is emitted by one end of the box. According to classical physics, the radiation has the momentum p = "0%c , and when it is emitted, the box recoils with the speed v z Eo/ so that the total momentum of Mc the system remains zero. After a time t z L/c the radiation reaches the other end of the box and is absorbed there, which brings the box to a stop after having moved the distance S. If the CM of the box is to remain in its original place, the radiation must have transferred mass from one end to the other. Show that this amount of mass is m, = c2.
Electrons got ejected out as if they were ping pong balls by the light particle (photon). Electrons were not moving initially. Then, it was moving later because of the light. a. What is the momentum of the electron initially (p=mv) Hint: Is it moving initially? b. Does the electron have momentum after being hit by the light particle? Hint: Is it moving after being hit? c. What can you infer about light particles and momentum? Hint: Where is the electron getting its velocity from?
A linear particle accelerator using beta particles collides electrons with their anti-matter counterparts, positrons. The accelerated electron hits the stationary positron with a velocity of 19 x 106 m/s, causing the two particles to annihilate.If two gamma photons are created as a result, calculate the energy of each of these two photons, giving your answer in MeV (mega electron volts), accurate to 1 decimal place. Take the mass of the electron to be 5.486 x 10-4 u, or 9.109 x 10-31 kg.Note: Assume that the kinetic energy is also converted into the gamma rays, and is included in the two photons.

I. Ngom PhD Course: Physics l-Classical Mechanics Due date June 06, 2021 Assignment #02 Problem-1: (40%) In this problem, we assume that the motion is taking place on a frictionless surface. Let us consider two balls A and B having the same masse. Initially, the ball B is at rest and the ball A is moving with the speed Va = 3.00 m/s in the +x direction as seen in the figure. After the ball A hits (or collides with) the ball B, they are both observed to move off at 45° to the x axis, ball A above the x axis and ball B below. So 0'a= 45° and 0'B= -45°. 1- What are the speeds of the two balls V'A and ý'B after the collision? 2- Is the collision elastic? Justify your answer.

Albert Einstein is pondering how to write his (soonto-be-famous) equation. He knows that energy E is a function of mass m and the speed of light c, but he doesn't know the functional relationship (E = m2c? E = mc4?). Pretend that Albert knows nothing about dimensional analysis, but since you are taking a fluid mechanics class, you help Albert come up with his equation. Use the step-by-step method of repeating variables to generate a dimensionless relationship between these parameters, showing all of your work. Compare this to Einstein's famous equation—does dimensional analysis give you the correct form of the equation?

A particle has γ=2,865. a) Calculate c-v in m/s. If your calculator gives problems, you might want to solve the appropriate equation for c-v or c(1 - v/c) and use an approximation. b) In the previous problem, in a race to the moon, by 3/4ths the distance, light is one or ten meters ahead of the particle. We routinely approximate mass as zero, gamma as infinite, and speed as the speed of light. ("Massless particles" -- gamma and m have to be eliminated from the expressions. Light is a true massless particle.) If a massless particle has momentum 2,910 MeV/c, calculate its energy in MeV.
