The orbital speed of an ice cube in the rings of Saturn is 11.2 Km/s. The correct answer is option C

<h3>What does Orbital speed depend on ?</h3>

The speed of an object travelling around a circle depends on two quantities namely;

  • Its angular velocity w
  • Its distance from the center of the circle.

Given that  an ice cube in the rings of Saturn. The mass of Saturn is 5.68 x 10^26 kg, and use an orbital radius of 3.00 x 105 km. (G= 6.67 × 10-11 N·m2/kg2)

The given parameters are:

  • The mass of Saturn = 5.68 x 10^26 kg
  • The orbital radius = 3.00 x 105 km
  • G = 6.67 × 10-11 N·m2/kg2

Let us first calculate the gravitational field strength on the Saturn.

g = GM/r²

Substitute all the necessary parameters and convert km to m

g = (6.67 × 10^{-11} × 5.68 × 10^{26}) ÷ (300000 × 1000)²

g = 3.79 × 10^{16} ÷ 9 × 10^{16}

g = 0.421 m/s²

The  orbital speed will be

V² = gr

V² = 0.4211 × 300000 × 1000

V² = 126333333.3

V = √126333333.3

V = 11239.8 m/s

Convert it to Km/s by dividing the answer by 1000

V = 11239.8/1000

V = 11.2 Km/s

Therefore, the orbital speed of an ice cube in the rings of Saturn is 11.2 Km/s

How do you convert mass to weight and visa versa
Darina [25.2K]
To change from mass to weight is Fw = 30 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 294 N. To change from weight to mass divide by gravity (9.8 m/s^2).

I need help on number 2 and 3
irinina [24]

For 2 draw the molucules very close together. because in soilds the molucules are VERY close to gether.

and for 3 Draw them with a lot of space apart from each other. Molucules move freely and openly in air and space.

Hope this helps! Please mark as brainliest! Thanks!! :D

How can you prove the mechanical nature of sound by a simple experiment
Kruka [31]

Answer:

That is, mechanical waves cannot travel through a vacuum. This feature of mechanical waves is often demonstrated in a Physics class. A ringing bell is placed in a jar and air inside the jar is evacuated. Once air is removed from the jar, the sound of the ringing bell can no longer be heard.
