The planet Neptune is the farthest planet from the Sun. A satellite is orbiting around Neptune at a distance of 180 km. As the s

atellite orbits, only a portion of the planet may be seen at one time. This is referred to as the horizon circle and denoted by the variable 2004-05-03-06-00_files/i0260001.jpg. The distance between the satellite and the horizon circle 2004-05-03-06-00_files/i0260002.jpg is 2,992 km. Find the approximate diameter of the planet Neptune. Round your final answer to the nearest kilometer.

2,992² + r² = ( r + 180 )²
8,952,064 + r² = r² + 360 r + 32,400
360 r = 8,952,064 - 32,400
360 r = 8,919,664
r = 8,919,664 : 360
r = 24,776.844 km
d = 24,776.844  ·  2 = 49,553688 ≈ 49,554 km
Answer:
The approximate diameter of the planet Neptune is 49,554 km.

A third baseman makes a throw to first base 40.5 m away. The ball leaves his hand with a speed of 30.0 m/s at a height of 1.4 m
Ugo [173]

Answer:

When the ball goes to first base it will be 4.23 m high.

Explanation:

Horizontal velocity = 30 cos17.3 = 28.64 m/s

   Horizontal displacement = 40.5 m

   Time  

         t=\frac{40.5}{28.64}=1.41s          

   Time to reach the goal posts 40.5 m away = 1.41 seconds

Vertical velocity = 30 sin17.3 = 8.92 m/s

    Time to reach the goal posts 40.5 m away = 1.41 seconds

    Acceleration = -9.81m/s²

    Substituting in s = ut + 0.5at²

             s = 8.92 x 1.41 - 0.5 x 9.81 x 1.41²= 2.83 m

    Height of throw = 1.4 m

    Height traveled by ball = 2.83 m

    Total height = 2.83 + 1.4 = 4.23 m

    When the ball goes to first base it will be 4.23 m high.

A small block with a mass of 0.120 kg is attached to a cord passing through a hole in a frictionless, horizontal surface (Fig. 6
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

a) 0.147 N

b) 9.408 N

c) 9.261 N

Explanation:

The tension on the cord is the only force keeping the block in circular motion, thus representing the entirety of its centripetal force \frac{mv^{2} }{r}. Plugging in values for initial and final states and we get answers for a and b. The work done by the person causes the centripetal force to increase, and thus is the difference between the final tension and the initial tension.
