The intensity of solar radiation is 13661 wm2 in space this


The intensity of solar radiation is 1366.1 W/m2 in space. This light strikes a 10 m2 solar panel of a satellite. Assuming that all the light is absorbed, how much force (momentum per second) is transferred? (Recall that the more general form of Newton's Law: F=dp/dt.) If the satellite has a mass of 500 kg, what is the rate of acceleration produced by photon momentum, and how long will it take to increase the speed of the satellite by 1 m/s?
