Answer:

6.93 km/h

Explanation:

To calculate her average speed, we need the "speed" formula, which is:

average speed = distance / time

You plug in your numbers and it will give you the answer.

Speed = 4.5km/0.65hr

= 6.923 km/h

The gravitational force of a star on an orbiting planet 1 is f1. planet 2, which is three times as massive as planet 1 and orbit

vovikov84 [41]

Gravitational force is given by, $F= G\frac{mM}{R^{2}}$

Where, m and M are the masses of the objects, R is the distance between them and G gravitational constant.

Gravitational force of the star on planet 1, $F_{1}= G\frac{m_{1}M}{R^{2}}$

Gravitational force of the star on planet 2, $F_{2}= G\frac{3m_{1}M}{(3R)^{2}}$

Ratio, $\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}= \frac{\frac{Gm_{1}M}{R^{2}}}{\frac{G3m_{1}M}{(3R)^{2}}}$

$\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}= \frac{3}{1}$

Therefore, the gravitational force of the star on the planet 1 is three times that on planet 2.
