Answer:

B. About 12 degrees

Explanation:

The orbital period is calculated using the following expression:

T = 2π*(\sqrt{\frac{r^3}{Gm}})

Where r is the distance of the planet to the sun, G is the gravitational constant and m is the mass of the sun.

Now, we don't actually need to solve the values of the constants, since we now that the distance from the sun to Saturn is 10 times the distance from the sun to the earth. We now this because 1 AU is the distance from the earth to the sun.

Now, we divide the expression used to calculate the orbital period of Saturn by the expression used to calculate the orbital period of the earth. Notice that the constants will cancel and we will get the rate of orbital periods in terms of the distances to the sun:

\frac{Tsaturn}{Tearth} = \sqrt{\frac{rSaturn^3}{rEarth^3} } = \sqrt{10^3}}

Knowing that the orbital period of the earth is 1 year, the orbital period of Saturn will be \sqrt{10^3}} years, or 31.62 years.

We find the amount of degrees it moves in 1 year:

1year * \frac{360degrees}{31.62years} = 11.38 degrees

or about 12 degrees.

andrew11 [14]

Explanation:

The frequency is given to be f = 8 Hz.

Period is the inverse of frequency.

T = 1/f = 0.125 s

Velocity is wavelength times frequency.

v = λf = (0.40 m) (8 Hz) = 3.2 m/s

The wave travels 3.2 meters every second.
