So you can compute the force of gravity on the planet GMm/r^2
or (6.674 X 10^−11)(1.99 X 10^30)m / d^2(1.5 X 10^11)^2
Where d is the average distance of the planet form the sun and m is the mass of the planet (I will keep these as symbols so doing Saturn and Venus will be simple substitution into one formula in the end).

Now realize that if they are in stable circular orbit, then this force must provide the necessary centripetal force mv^2/r or mv^2 / d(1.5 X 10^11)

So we get:

(6.674 X 10^−11)(1.99 X 10^30)m / d^2(1.5 X 10^11)^2 = mv^2 / d(1.5 X 10^11)
The m's cancel out as does one 1/d(1.5 X 10^11)
(6.674 X 10^−11)(1.99 X 10^30) / d(1.5 X 10^11) = v^2
Evaluating and square rooting yeilds:
v = sqrt((8.854 X 10^8)/d)

Now plug in 0.72 for venus and 9.54 for saturn

Venus = 35067.39 m/s
Saturn = 9633.75 m/s

Some precision was lost rounding to 8.854 X 10^8, so if more presion is required just type the whole thing from before into a calculator.  Anyways the process is sound

The histogram below shows the number of downloads of a song over time.
Allisa [31]

Given data:

  • It is a graphical display where the data is grouped in to ranges
  • A diagram consists rectangles, whose area is proportional to frequency of a variable and whose width is equal to the class interval.
  • It is an accurate representation of the distribution of numerical data.

<em>From Figure:</em>  

        Each box in the graph (small rectangle box) is assumed to be one download. So, in the graph the time between 8 p.m to 9 p.m, the number of downloads are 8.75 approximately (because the last box is incomplete, therefore 8 complete boxes and 9th is more than half).

<em>So, We conclude that the total number of downloads are approximately 9 in the time span of 8 p.m. to 9 p.m.</em>

what is the acceleration of a car that slows down from 60m/s to 40 m/s during a period of 10 seconds?
algol [13]

The acceleration of the car is stated as -2 m/s², while the deceleration of the car is termed as 2 m/s².

Answer:

Explanation:

Acceleration exerted by any object in order of decrease in the speed is termed as deceleration. In other words , negative acceleration or acceleration acting in opposite direction to stop the motion of any object is termed as deceleration. The magnitude of acceleration and deceleration is same only the direction is completely opposite to each other. So the negative sign will be obtained for acceleration value of any object whose velocity slows down from initial velocity.

Here , the initial velocity was 60 m/s and the final velocity is slowed down to 40 m/s in time 10 s.

So acceleration = (Final velocity - Initial velocty)/Time

Acceleration = (40-60)/10 = -20/10 = -2 m/s².

Thus, the acceleration of the car is stated as -2 m/s², while the deceleration of the car is termed as 2 m/s².
