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. apparently the answer is 9.56x10^17 n but i'm not sure how to get to that

A1200 kg car traveling north at 10 m/s is rear-ended by a 2000 kg truck traveling at 30 m/s. what is the total momentum before and after the collision?

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.

It's a snowy day and you're pulling a friend along a level road on a sled. you've both been taking physics, so she asks what you think the coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow is. you've been walking at a steady 1.5m/s, and the rope pulls up on the sled at a 32 ∘ angle. you estimate that the mass of the sled, with your friend on it, is 65 kg and that you're pulling with a force of 80 n .
