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 does the amount of precipitation affect the amount of weathering ?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer: Rainfall and temperature can affect the rate in which rocks weather. High temperatures = more rainfall increasing the rate of chemical weathering. Rocks in tropical regions exposed to a lot of rainfall and hot temperatures weather faster than similar rocks in cold, dry climates.
