The answer to the first question is that plants make glucose and oxygen by taking in CO2 and H20.
The answer to the second question is having a heavier mass increases the force of a moving object. That is the Second Law of Motion, F = ma.

The physical and chemical properties of metal can differ between the elements but if we try and generalize.
Physical properties are that they are hard, dense, shiny, malleable (can be bent), ductile (can be pulled into wires), a good conductor of heat and have high melting points meaning that they are solid at room temperature
Their chemical properties include being good electrical conductors, they make metallic bonds (ionic bonds with non-metals) and their atoms are arranged in a lattice. They release hydrogen when reacted with acids and are usually cations (positive ions).
Use the conservation of angular momentum; angular momentum at the beginning = angular momentum at the end
Conservation of angular momentum:
I1 w1 = I2 w2
Where I is the moment of inertia. For a sphere, I=2/5 m R^2. Substituting into the equation above we get
w2 = I1 w1 / I2 = w1 m1 R1^2 / (m2 R2^2)
w2 = w1 4 * (R1/R2)^2
= 4*(1)*(7E5/7.5)^2
= 3.48E10 revs/(17days)
= 2.04705882 x 10^9 revs/sec
