A star, which is 2.0 x 1020 m from the center of a galaxy, revolves around that center once every 2.4 x 108 years. Assuming each star in the galaxy has a mass equal to the Sun's mass of 2.0 x 1030 kg, the stars are distributed uniformly in a sphere about the galactic center, and the star of interest is at the edge of that sphere, estimate the number of stars in the galaxy.

Photon Momentum and Radiation Pressure.
We have seen that photons carry not only energy but also momentum, with each photon of wavelength λ carrying momentum pγ = Eγ/c = h/λ. This means that photon interactions can transfer momentum, and thus radiation exerts forces.
(a) Consider a flux F of photons all moving in the same direction. If the light lands perpendicular (i.e., directly) on a surface of area A, find an expression for the rate of energy flow onto the surface. From this find an expression for the rate of momentum deposit onto the surface.
(b) Use Newton’s laws to trivially explain why the momentum flow rate you found represents the radiation force on the surface. Then go on to show that the radiation pressure on the surface – the force per unit area – is Pr = F/c.
(c) Consider a 100 Watt lightbulb, illuminating your hand which is held at a distance of 10 cm. Estimate the size of your hand and find the radiation force on your hand. What mass object would have a weight equal to this force? Comment on the strength the radiation force in everyday circumstances.
(d) Now consider hydrogen at the surface of the Sun which has radius R. Imagine each proton, of mass mp, acted as if it cast a shadow of area σ. Without yet evaluating numbers, find an expression for the gravitational force on the proton due to the Sun. Also find an expression for the radiation force on the proton due to the Sun. Show that the ratio of these two forces is independent of distance from the Sun. Briefly explain why
There is no flux intensity given in the question

1.Suppose the combined weight of Santa and your large gift so big and heavy that it increased the earth’s wobble and tilted the planet on its axis to 24 degrees. Would the winter be longer or shorter? your location: North America ( Detroit)
2. Suppose a golden plover, who are renowned for their migrations, left the North Pole for the South Pole. What longitudinal line should the bird follow for the shortest distance to travel? Why is it shortest? Hint: This would also be the shortest route for a whale.

A beam of electrons with energy 250 MeV is elastically scattered through an angle of 10° by a heavy nucleus that is at rest. It is found that the differential cross-section is 65% of that expected for scattering from a point-nucleus. Estimate the root mean square radius of the nucleus. Neglect the recoil of the nucleus and use the rest mass of the electron as 0.511 MeV/c2.

A merry-go-round with a a radius of R = 1.98 m and moment of inertia I = 193 kg-m2 is spinning with an initial angular speed of ω = 1.45 rad/s in the counter clockwise direection when viewed from above. A person with mass m = 67 kg and velocity v = 4.9 m/s runs on a path tangent to the merry-go-round. Once at the merry-go-round the person jumps on and holds on to the rim of the merry-go-round.
1) What is the magnitude of the initial angular momentum of the merry-go-round?
2) What is the magnitude of the angular momentum of the person 2 meters before she jumps on the merry-go-round?
3) What is the magnitude of the angular momentum of the person just before she jumps on to the merry-go-round?
4) What is the angular speed of the merry-go-round after the person jumps on?
5) Once the merry-go-round travels at this new angular speed, with what force does the person need to hold on?
6) Once the person gets half way around, they decide to simply let go of the merry-go-round to exit the ride.

You attach a 1 kg block to a horizontal spring with a constant of k = 25 N/m and set it oscillating on a frictionless surface. You’ve set up a gate that can read the velocity at the equilibrium point of the simple harmonic motion and find it is 50 cm/s, moving to the right. Assume the positive direction is to the right.
What is the angular frequency, ω?
What is the phase angle, φ0, assuming that t = 0 is the moment when you read the velocity at the
equilibrium point?
What is the amplitude, A?
Write down the equations describing x(t) and a(t), filling in the values for A,ω, and φ0.
What is the magnitude of the acceleration when x(t) = A/2? Since I am asking about magnitude you don’t need to worry about which of the two possible positions that are A/2 or the direction of travel - in other words you don’t need the phase. Any of the four possible phases for the position A/2 will do.
