Calculate the total force on the Earth due to Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn, assuming all four planets are in a line. The masses are Mv=0.815ME, MJ=318ME, Msat=95.1ME, Msun=1.99x10^30kg, ME=5.98x10^24kg and the mean distances of the four planets from the Sun are 108, 150, 778, and 1430 million km. I already know the answer to this part, but the second part asks “What fraction of the Sun’s force on the Earth is this”? i’m stumped and shouldn’t be in AP Physics but here i am :,)

If the force on an object is in the negative direction, the work it does on the object must be [2 points a) negative. b) positive c) the work could be either positive or negative, depending on the direction the object moves

What type of nuclear decay causes the atomic number of an element to increase by 1?

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.
