You are part of an expedition traveling through space. You have a space ship with solar panels on it. These solar panels are square and have a side length of L = 4.00 m absorb energy and convert 45.0 % of the light energy from the sun into electrical energy for your ship. Currently your ship is a distance R = 8.50 x 107 km away from the Sun. The Sun has a power of 3.85 x 1026 w. How long (time) does it take these solar panels to store 20.0 x 108 J of energy? Please list your answer in hours!

An astronaut lands on a foreign world and wants to measure the local gravitational field strength where he lands. He takes a 0.31m length pendulum and holds it 4 degrees from the vertical. He then releases the pendulum and measures that it takes 7.85 seconds for the pendulum to swing through 10 cycles of swing. What is the gravitational field strength on the planet?

A constant electric field accelerates a proton from rest through a distance of 1.20 m to a speed of 1.53 ✕ 105 m/s. The mass and charge of a proton are mp = 1.67 ✕ 10−27 kg and qp = e = 1.60 ✕ 10−19 C.) (a) Find the change in the proton's kinetic energy (in J). J (b)Find the change in the system's electric potential energy (in J). J (c) Calculate the magnitude of the electric field (in N/C). N/C
A family brought their grandfather clock from Denver, Colorado to Clarksville, TN when they moved. Shortly afterwards, they discovered that the clock no longer ran accurately due to a change in the local g value. Do you expect the clock runs faster or slower? How do you fix the problem, moving the oscillating piece up or down? The clock runs faster. Moving the oscillating mass up slightly so the rod is shorter. Moving the oscillating mass down the rod slightly so the rod is longer. The clock runs slower. 1. Yes. 2. No.
A cyclotron is a machine that can be used to accelerate charged particles to achieve large kinetic energies. The resulting beams of highly energetic particles then can be used for many medical applications, including Proton Therapy (a more precise form of "radiation" used in the treatment of some cancers). A description of the cyclotron can be found in section 19.3 of the text. If a proton (of mass 1.673x10-27kg) is accelerated to its maximum velocity inside a dee with radius 2.08cm (this is the radius you would use for the "r" term in the centripetal acceleration), and if the magnetic field has a magnitude of 2.44x10-2T, what is the resulting velocity of the proton in units of km/s (kilometer per second)?
