Sun jamming a sun yacht is a spacecraft with a large sail that is pushed by sunlight.
Question:
Sun jamming a "sun yacht" is a spacecraft with a large sail that is pushed by sunlight. Although such a push is tiny in everyday circumstances, it can be large enough to send the spacecraft outward from the Sun on a cost-free but slow trip. Suppose that the spacecraft has a mass of 900 kg and receives a push of 20 N.
(a) What is the magnitude of the resulting acceleration? If the craft starts from rest,
(b) How far will it travel in 1 day and
(c) How fast will it then be moving?
