A pulse of light of duration 100 ns is absorbed completely by a small object initially at rest. The power of the pulse is 36 mW and the speed of light is 3 * 108 m/s. The final momentum of the object is:
0.3 * 10-17 kg m/s
1.0 * 10-17 kg m/s
3 * 10-17 kg m/s
9.0 * 10-17 kg m/s
E = mc2
Also, E = p * t = 30 * 10-13 * 100 * 10-9 J = mc2
3 * 10-9 = m * (3 * 108)2 = m * 9 * 30 * 1016
Since p = mv:
= 10-17 kg m/s
