hformation to answer the next two questions One futuristic scheme to produce power on a large scale proposes placing giant solar panels into Earth's orbit, where energy generated from sunlight would be converted to microwaves and beamed to antennas on Earth for reconversion to electric power. To produce as much power as five large nuclear power plants (5.00×10° W total), several square kilometres of solar panels would have to be assembled in orbit. An Earth-based antenna that is 8 km in diameter would be required to receive microwaves from the solar modules, which would be positioned 7.52x10° m away from Earth's centre. 26.

Indicates a review question, which means it requires only a basic understanding of the material to answer. Questions without this designation typically require integrating or extending the concepts presented thus far.) Air molecules in a warm room (27°C = 300 K) typically have speeds of about 500 m/s (1,100 mph). Why is it that we are unaware of these fast-moving particles continuously colliding with our bodies?
Satellites designed to observe me radiation from cold (3 K) dark space have sensors that are shaded from the Sun, Earth, and Moon and that are cooled to very low temperatures. Why must the sensors be at low temperature?
Integrated Concepts - Large meteors sometimes strike the Earth, converting most of their kinetic energy into thermal energy. (a) What is the kinetic energy of a 109 kg meteor moving at 25.0 km/s? (b) If this meteor lands in a deep ocean and 80% of its kinetic energy goes into heating water, how many kilograms of water could it raise by 5.0C ? (c) Discuss how the energy of the meteor is more likely to be deposited in the ocean and the likely effects of that energy.
The Pioneer 10 spacecraft has left our Solar System and is traveling at a speed of 45,000 km/h (andhas been doing so for years). Explain why this object is moving so fast although it ran out of fuel longago.
Sunspots vary in number as a function oftime, exhibiting an approximately 11-year cycle. Galileo made thefirst European observations of sunspots in 1610, and daily observations were begun in Zurich in 1749. At the present time we are wellinto the 24th observed cycle. What is the frequency of the sunspotcycle? Give your answer in Hz
Plz explain in detail asap
Describe the basic features of the “lighthouse” model of a pulsar, and indicate how they combine to give rise to the observed sharply pulsed radio emission from these sources.
What is critical temperature Tc? Do all materials have a critical temperature? Explain why or why not.
