Question

The ICARDS satellite has mass 320 kg and moves through space 20 m² . The average solar wind pressure is 1.0 x 10^-5 Nm². What is the acceleration of the satellite caused by the solar.

Answer 1

We know that,

$Pressure = \frac{Fore}{Area} \\ \\ Force = Pressure \times area \\ \\ = 1 \times 10^{-5} \times 20 \\ \\ = 20 \times 10^{-5} \\ \\ \text{Again, According to newton's second law of motion, } \\ \\ F = ma \\ \\ a= \frac{F}{m} \\ \\ = \frac{20*10^{-5}}{320} \\ \\ = 6.25 \times 10^{-7} \ m\sec^{2}$

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

We know,Pressure is defined as the force applied per unit area.

Hence, pressure=ma/A

(m is mass,a is acceleration,A is area )

a=1*10^-5*20/320

=6.25*10^-7m/s^2.
