Question:
A particle in the solar system is under the combined influence of the Sun's gravitational attraction and the radiation force due to the Sun's rays. Assume that the particle is a sphere of density 1.0 x 103kg/m3 and that the entire incident light is absorbed.
(a) Show that, if its radius is less than some critical radius R, the particle will be blown out of the solar system
(b) Calculate the critical radius.
Step by Step Answer:
a Let r be the radius and p be the density of the particle Since its volume is 43 its mass is m 43 p...View the full answer

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
