Velocity = distance/time taken
Velocity = 5(1000)/25(60)
Velocity = 3.33 m/s
The magnitude of the quantity and its direction.
Answer:
a) The duration, during which the block remain in contact with the spring is 0.29 s
b) The period of the simple harmonic oscillatory motion depends only on the mass and spring constant, therefore when the speed is doubled, the duration of contact remains the same as 0.29 s.
Explanation:
Mass of the block = 465 g
Surface speed = 0.35 m/s
Spring constant , k = 54 N/m
= 0.58 s
a) Since the period for the oscillatory motion is 0.58 s, then the time when the block and spring remain in contact is T/2 = 0.29 s
b) When the speed is doubled, we have

Therefore, since T is only dependent on the mass, m and the spring constant, K, then the time it takes when the speed is doubled remain as
T /2 = 0.29 s
<u>We are given:</u>
Mass of Neptune = 1.03 * 10²⁶ kg
Distance from the center of Neptune (r) = 2.27 * 10⁷
now, computing the value of the acceleration due to gravity (g)
<u>Finding g:</u>
We know the formula:
g = G(mass of planet) / (r)²
g = [6.67 * 10⁻¹¹ * 1.03*10²⁶] / (2.27*10⁷) [since G is 6.67*10⁻¹¹]
g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵) / (5.15 * 10¹⁴)
which can be rewritten as:
g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵ * 10⁻¹⁴) / 5.15
g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵⁻¹⁴) / 5.15
g = (6.87/5.15) * 10
g = 1.34 * 10
g = 13.4 m/s² <em>(approx)</em>
