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

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

v(0)=2m/s

Explanation:

The instantaneous velocity of a point mass that executes a simple harmonic movement is given by:

v(t)=\omega  *A*cos(\omega t + \phi)

Where:

\omega=Angular\hspace{3}frequency\\A=Amplitude\\\phi=Initial\hspace{3}phase

Express the amplitude in meters:

10cm*\frac{1m}{100cm} =0.1m

The angular frequency can be found using the next equation:

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

Using the data provided:

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{400}{1} } =20

At the equilibrium position:

\phi=0

v(0)=20*(0.1)cos(20*0+0)=2*cos(0)=2*1=2m/s

On what factor does speed of sound depend​
velikii [3]

Answer:

For sound waves to travel, there is a requirement of medium and density of the medium is considered to be one of the factors on which the speed of sound depends. When the medium is dense, the molecules in the medium are closely packed which means that the sound travels faster.

When a neutrally charged atom loses an electron to another atom, the result is the creation of

ionic compound. The atom that lost the electron becomes a cation, and the atom that gains an electron becomes an anion. The cation and anion bond together because they have opposite charges to form an ionic compound. The question may be looking for just cation or anion, though.
