NASA is giving serious consideration to the concept of solar sailing. A solar sailcraft uses a large, lowmass sail and the energy and momentum of sunlight for propulsion.
a. Should the sail be absorbing or reflective? Why?
b. The total power output of the sun is 3.9×10^26W. How large a sail is necessary to propel a 10,000-kg spacecraft against the gravitational force of the sun? Express your result in square kilometers.
c. Explain why your answer to part (b) is independent of the distance from the sun.

The experiment done in lab is repeated, using a ball that has unknown mass m. you plot your data in the form of f 2 versus m/l, with f in rev/s, m in kg, and l in m. your data falls close to a straight line that has slope 3.19 m/(kg · s2). use g = 9.80 m/s2 and calculate the mass m of the ball.
