Answer:

The thickness of ring in model is 0.00001 inch and the height of ring is 0.0001 inch.

Explanation:

The radius of Saturn = 60000 km

The thickness of rings = 0.01 km

The height of ring ripples = 100 m or 0.1 km

Now design a new model with a radius of 60 inches.

Therefore, the  radius of Saturn (600000 km)  = radius of the model (60 inches)

Here, one inch of the model will be equal to 1000 km of Saturn.

1 km of Saturn = 0.001 inch of model

Thickness of ring = 0.01 km

Therefore, thickness of ring in model = 0.01 x 0.001 = 0.00001 inch

The height of Saturn ring = 0.1 km

Therefore, the height of ring in model = 0.1 x 0.001 = 0.0001 inch.

Which, if any, of the following statements about electric field lines is/are true? A.The electric field is always perpendicular
jonny [76]
The electric field is always perpendicular to the surface outside of a conductor. TRUE

<span> If an electron were placed on an electric field line, it would move in a direction perpendicular to the field. FALSE, it would move in an anti-parallel direction because its charge is negative </span>
 
<span>Electric field lines originate on positive charge and terminate on negative charge. TRUE ; but they can also go to infinity </span>
 
It is possible for two electric field lines to cross each other.
<span> Usually FALSE; though technically possible at special points where field is zero. </span>
 
If an electron and a positron were in the presence of a very strong electric field, they would move away from each other.
<span> TRUE; one is positive, and one is negative. If the field is strong enough, the action of the field will overcome the mutual attraction between them </span>
 
It is not possible for the electric field to ever be zero. FALSE: it IS possible, inside a conductor for instance
   
If a proton were placed on an electric field line, it would move in a direction anti-parallel to the field.
<span> FALSE: being positive, it would move in the SAME direction as the field</span>ic
