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 5.67-kg block of wood is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 150 N/m. The block is free to slide on a horizontal fr
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

v=0.94 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

M= 5.67 kg

k= 150 N/m

m=1 kg

μ = 0.45

The maximum acceleration of upper block can be μ g.

 a= μ g                          ( g = 10 m/s²)

The maximum acceleration of system will ω²X.

ω = natural frequency

X=maximum displacement

For top stop slipping

μ g  =ω²X

We know for spring mass system natural frequency given as

\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{M+m}}

By putting the values

\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{150}{5.67+1}}

ω = 4.47 rad/s

μ g  =ω²X

By putting the values

0.45 x 10 = 4.47² X

X = 0.2 m

From energy conservation

\dfrac{1}{2}kX^2=\dfrac{1}{2}(m+M)v^2

kX^2=(m+M)v^2

150 x 0.2²=6.67 v²

v=0.94 m/s

This is the maximum speed of system.
