Answer:

My Dear Friend

It's seen storms being generated in Saturn's clouds, it's recognized that Saturn's blue haze fades a bit in the hemisphere receiving less sunlight. It's identified about 8 new moons (Probably more, now...) and has measured the mass & density of it's moons. Some of them are very light - for their size, some appear to be composed of just empty space.  

It solved the riddle of Japetus - for almost 300 years, astronomers have seen that it's 8 to 10 times more reflective on one side than the other - and, it's due to dark, sun-melted material collecting on it's leading edge, while bright ice crystals remain on the trailing side.  

It was Voyager that first spotted the hexagon-shaped structure at Saturn's poles, but it was Cassini that sent us detailed photos of it - and, it's thought to be due to Saturn's rapid rotation coupled with the winds in it's atmosphere.  

Cassini also flew through the water geysers of Encelaudus, and detected simple amino acids in the spray; and radar-mapped Titan, detecting flat areas that are thought to be liquid methane and ethane lakes - the first body besides Earth with liquid on the surface.

I hope this answer helps you

Answer:

It helped us learn that Saturn’s moons are unique worlds with their own stories to tell. The rings of Saturn are dramatic processes operating within them. It also observed weather and seasonal changes of other planets.

Two blocks of ice, one four times as heavy as the other, are at rest on a frozen lake. A person pushes each block the same dista
qaws [65]

Answer:b

Explanation:

Given

mass of heavy object is 4m

mass of lighter object is m

A person pushes each block  with same force F

According to Work Energy theorem Change in kinetic energy of object is equal to Work done by all the object

As launching velocity is same for both the object so heavier mass must possess greater kinetic energy . For same force heavier mass must be pushed 4 times farther than the light block .

\Delta (K.E.)_H=\frac{1}{2}(4m)v^2

\Delta (K.E.)_L=\frac{1}{2}(m)v^2

\Delta K.E.=F\times d

So the correct option is b

If the fundamental frequency of a musical instrument is 42Hz, what is the frequency of the second harmonic?
timurjin [86]
For the majority of instruments f = n f0 where f is the resonating frequency, n is any whole number and f0 is the fundamental. 
<span>This applies to trumpets, violins, flutes and a broad range. </span>
<span>In such a </span>case<span> the first harmonic would be at n=1 and the second harmonic would be at n=2 </span>

<span>which gives a frequency of 84 Hz</span>
