Chapter 24, Problem 68RCQ
One way to shield a habitat in outer space from cosmic rays is with an absorbing blanket of some kind, which would function much like the atmosphere that protects Earth. Speculate on a second way for shielding the habitat that would also be similar to Earth’s natural shielding.

1. You've recently read about a chemical laser that generates a 20-cm-diameter, 25 MW laser
beam. One day, after physics class, you start to wonder if you could use the radiation
pressure from this laser beam to launch small payloads into orbit. To see if this might be
feasible, you do a quick calculation of the acceleration of a 20-cm-diameter, 100 kg,
perfectly absorbing block. What speed would such a block have if pushed horizontally 100 m
along a frictionless track by such a laser?
Residents of northern Canada are bombarded by more intense cosmic radiation than residents of Mexico. Why is this so?
