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

How can citizen -scientists help with the prediction of future earthquakes
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Avoid downed power lines and stay away from buildings and bridges from which heavy objects might fall during an aftershock. Stay away until local officials tell you it is safe. A tsunami is a series of waves that may continue for hours. Do not assume that after one wave the danger is over.

Melissa's favorite exercise equipment at the gym consists of various springs. in one exercise, she pulls a handle grip attached
konstantin123 [22]

The formula for force exerted on/by a spring is 

F = k*e where k is the spring constant and x is the distance stretched from unstrained position. This should allow you to find what you need.

 

Using F = k x e, 


where k is the spring constant, 


and e is the extension, 


The F is her weight = 45 X 0.80 


= 36 N

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 22.3 m high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 127 m from the base
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

t = 2.13 s

Explanation:

given,

height of the building = 22.3 m

horizontal distance = 127 m

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

time for which ball is in motion = ?

using equation of motion

s = u t + \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

initial velocity is zero

s = \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}}

t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 22.3}{9.8}}

       t = √4.551

        t = 2.13 s
