the planet neptune

The dwarf planet pluto.

The question literally has the words dwarf planet in it.  Pluto is the only dwarf in the solar system. All you had to do was look up which planet is in front of Pluto.

Answer:

Planet: Neptune

Dwarf Planet: Pluto

Explanation:

Kuiper belt starts just after the orbit of planet Neptune at a distance of around 30 AU (1AU = 150 Million km) and extends up to 50AU from the Sun. This is home to billions of comet as well as lot of rocky bodies. Most famous of them is Pluto, which was earlier designated as a planet. In 2006, when the criteria for declaring a celestial body as a planet were reworked, Pluto was designated as a dwarf Planet.

The comet are thought to have formed at the time of the Solar system formation and resides in Kuiper Belt and Oort's cloud. The comets which reside in Kuiper belt are known as short period or periodic comets.

Two particles, each with charge 55.3 nC, are located on the y axis at y 24.9 cm and y -24.9cm (a) Find the vector electric field
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Ex = kq 2x / ∛ (x² + y²)²  and  Ex = 2008 N / C

Explanation:

a)   The electric field is a vector quantity, so we must find the field for each particle and add them vectorially, as the whole process is on the X axis,

The equation for the electric field produced by a point charge is

         E = k q / r²

With r the distance between the point charge and the positive test charge

We look for each electric field

Particle 1.  Located at y = 24.9 m, let's use Pythagoras' theorem to find the distance

          r² = x² + y²

          E1 = k q / (x² + y²)

Particle 2.   located at x = -24.9 m

          r² = x² + y²

          E2 = k q / (x² + y²)

We can see that the two fields are equal since the particles have the same charge and coordinate it and that is squared.

In the attached one we can see that the Y components of the electric fields created by each particle are always the same and it is canceled, so we only have to add the X components of the electric fields. Let's use Pythagoras' theorem to find

Let's measure the angle from axis X

     cos θ = CA / H = x / (x2 + y2) ½

     E1x = E1 cos θ

      E2x = = E1 cos θ

The resulting field

      Ey = 0

      Ex = E1x + E2x 2 E1x

      Ex = 2 k q / (x² + y²) cos θ) = 2 k q / (x² + y²) x / √(x² + x²)

      Ex = kq 2x / ∛ (x² + y²)²

b) For this part we substitute the numerical values

      Ex = 8.99 10⁹ 55.3 10⁻⁹ x / (x² + 0.249 2) ³/₂

      Ex = 497.15   x / (x² + 0.062)  ³/₂  

Point where can the value of the electric field x = 38.1 cm = 0.381 m

       Ex = 497.15 0.381 / (0.381² + 0.062)  ³/₂  

       Ex = 497.15 0.381 / (0.1452 + 0.062) 3/2 = 189.41 / 0.2072 3/2

       Ex= 189.41 /0.0943

       Ex = 2008 N / C

c)  E = 1.00 kN / C = 1000 N / C

To solve this part we must find x in the equation

       Ex = 497.15 x / (x² + 0.062)  ³/₂  

Let's use some arithmetic

       Ex / 497.15 = x / (x² + 0.062)  ³/₂  

       [Ex / 497.15] ²/₃ = [x / (x² + 0.062) 3/2] ²/₃

       ∛[Ex / 497.15]² = (∛x²) / (x² + 0.062)                 (1)

The roots of this equation are the solution to the problem,

     

For Ex = 1.00 kN / C = 1000 N / C

 

      [Ex / 497.15] 2/3 = 1000 / 497.15) 2/3 = 1,312

       1.312 = (∛x² ) / (x² + 0.062)

       1.312 (x² + 0.062) = ∛x²

       1.312 X² - ∛x² + 1.312 0.062 = 0

       1.312 X² - ∛x² + 0.0813 = 0

What is the minimum value of the friction coefficient between the boxes that will keep them from slipping when the 100 N force i
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The friction coefficient's minimum value will be "0.173".

Explanation:

The given query seems to be incomplete. Below is the attached file of the complete question.

According to the question,

(a)

The net friction force's magnitude will be:

⇒ F_{net}=ma

           =5\times 1.7

           =8.5 \ N

(b)

For m₃,

⇒ ma=\mu m_3 g

Or,

⇒    \mu=\frac{a}{g}

          =\frac{1.7}{9.8}

          =0.173

32. A forest ranger. 35 meters above the ground in a
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

x = 102.33 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Position where a forest ranger stands is 35 m above the ground. The angle of depression to the base of the fire is 20. We need to find how far from the tower is the fire.

Let the distance is x. We can find x using trigonometry as follows :

\sin\theta=\dfrac{\text{perpendicular}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\\\\\sin(20)=\dfrac{35}{x}\\\\x=\dfrac{35}{\sin(20)}\\\\x=102.33\ m

Hence, the fire is at a distance of 102.33 m from the fire.
