Sunlight above the Earth's atmosphere has an intensity of 1.36 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. (a) Calculate the force per square meter of mirror (in N/m2). 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 0.170 kg. Find the acceleration (in m/s2) of the spaceship if all other forces are balanced. m/s2 (c) How fast (in m/s) is it moving 24 hours later

Which of the following statements comparing electron microscopy and light microscopy is false? which of the following statements comparing electron microscopy and light microscopy is false? both the electron microscope and the light microscope use the same wavelengths for illumination. images produced by light microscopes can be in color, whereas electron microscope images are black and white unless they are artificially colored. the electron microscope has greater resolution than the light microscope. electron microscopes can allow examination of viruses and internal cell structures, whereas light microscopes are limited to objects that are 0.5 micrometers and larger. request answer
