Question C Aspacecraft for extrasolar travel uses a sail to reflect light backtoward the sun. At earth’s orbit the sunlight has an intensity of1368 W/m2. The spacecraft has a mass of 2000 kg.

a) [8]Determine the required sail to achieve an initial acceleration ofthe 9.8m/s2

b) [2] if itwere black rather than reflective what would the initialacceleration be?


Question D [8] Show that the units on the right side of eq 22-27are those expected for c
