What are some of the things that the Cassini spacecraft has helped us learn about Saturn and its features

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.

What net force would be required for a 50.5 kg wolf to accelerate at 5.0 m/s^2
Basile [38]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 252.5 \ Newtons }}

Explanation:

Force is the push or pull on object that can cause different things, like acceleration. According to Newton's 2nd Law of Motion, it is the product of mass and acceleration.

F=m*a

The mass of the wolf is 50.5 kilograms and the acceleration is 5.0 meters per square second. Therefore:

  • m= 50.5 \ kg
  • a= 5.0 \ m/s^2

Substitute the values into the formula.

F= 50.5 \ kg * 5.0 \ m/s^2

Multiply.

F=252.5 \ kg*m/s^2

  • 1 kilogram meter per square second is equal to 1 Newton.
  • Our answer of 252.5 kg*m/s² is equal to 252.5 Newtons.

F= 252.5 \ N

The force required is <u>252.5 Newtons</u>.

A person is riding a motorized tricycle. They weigh 180kg and are moving at 3 m/s over a distance of 300 m. How much work is don
agasfer [191]

If I am to understand this question correctly this is what asks you:

If a person is riding a motorized tricycle how much work do they do?

You may ask yourself, why did I only use part of the question. Simple, the rest is not relevant to what is being asked. The weight, speed, and distance wont affect the person riding any <em><u>motorized vehicle</u></em> other than the time it takes to get from one place to another.

So to answer this question I would say:

Not much, all they really have to do is to steer and set the motorized tricycle to cruise control. Just like any rode certified vehicle.

If you have any questions about my answer please let me know and I will be happy to clarify any misunderstandings. Thanks and have a great day!

The index of refraction of n-propyl alcohol is 1.39. Find the angle of refraction of light in that medium if light comes from ai
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

36.11 degrees

Explanation:

index of refraction n = sin i/sinr

i is the angle of incidence

r is the angle of refraction

Substitute into the expression

1.39 = sin55/sin(r)

1.39 = 0.8191/sin(r)

sin(r) = 0.8191/1.39

sin(r) = 0.5893

r = arcsin(0.5893)

r = 36.11

hence the angle of refraction of light is 36.11 degrees
