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 does upwelling affect the weather of a coastal region?
SIZIF [17.4K]

c.The warm surface water results in moist air and more rainfall.

Explanation:

  • During upwelling, cold water in the ocean is stirred up and brought to the surface.
  • The warmer surface water is then taken into deeper parts of the ocean.
  • Upwelling allows for nutrient mixing in the ocean and allows for useful gases to circulate well.
  • The warm surface water causes the air to be moisty.
  • When the air is carried landward towards the coast, it leads to rainfall when the saturated air releases the water.
  • The air then becomes cold and dry and it rises up.
  • Therefore, warm surface water results in moist air and more rainfall.

Why are objects that fall near earths surface rarely in free fall?
marissa [1.9K]

"Free fall" means that gravity is the ONLY force acting on the object.  If there's air resistance, then it isn't free-fall.  

Objects that fall near earths surface are ALWAYS falling through air, unless they're inside some kind of a vacuum chamber with all the air removed from it.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

When Helium is identified by astronomers is one of the great triumphs of spectroscopy.

Explanation:

Janssen managed to do this great triumphs on August 18, 1868 . Janssen was the first person to introduce the helium, an element that never seen before on Earth, in the solar spectrum. At that time, he didn’t know that what he’d seen—he just think that it was something new. In the mid of 1800, the spectroscope instrument is introduced in astronomy.

Later on we heard that all helium in Universe has been created by the fusion of hydrogen nuclei.
