What is the force (magnitude and direction) on the proton in FIGURE P31.29? Give the direction as an angle or from vertical.

Assume that a -diameter, light bulb radiates all its energy as a single wavelength of visible light. Estimate the electric and magnetic field strengths at the surface of the bulb.
The intensity of sunlight reaching the earth is.
a. What is the power output of the sun
b. What is the intensity of sunlight reaching Mars
You've recently read about a chemical laser that generates a -diameter, 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 -diameter, , perfectly absorbing block. What speed would such a block have if pushed horizontally along a frictionless track by such a laser
The figure shows the electric and magnetic fields in frame A. A rocket in frame B travels parallel to one of the axes of the A coordinate system. Along which axis must the rocket travel, and in which direction, in order for the rocket scientists to measure (a) (b) and (c) ?
