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 are subtomic particles<br>​
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

In the physical sciences, subatomic particles are smaller than atoms. They can be composite particles, such as the neutron and proton; or elementary particles, which according to the standard model are not made of other particles. Particle physics and nuclear physics study these particles and how they interact.

if a torque of 55.0 N/m is required and the largest force that can be exerted by you is 135 N what is th e length of the lever a
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

r=0.41m

Explanation:

Torque is defined as the cross product between the position vector ( the lever arm vector connecting the origin to the point of force application) and the force vector.

\tau=r\times F

Due to the definition of cross product, the magnitude of the torque is given by:

\tau=rFsin\theta

Where \theta is the angle between the force and lever arm vectors. So, the length of the lever arm (r) is minimun when sin\theta is equal to one, solving for r:

r=\frac{\tau}{F}\\r=\frac{55\frac{N}{m}}{135N}\\r=0.41m

Classify the following elements as alkine, alkine-earth, or transition metals based on their position on the periodic table
azamat

Explanation:

Iron                              transition metal

Potassium                   Alkaline metal

Strontium                    Alkaline earth metal

Platinum                      transition metal

The periodic table arranges elements based on their atomic numbers into periods and groups. Atomic number is the number of protons an atom contains.

On the periodic table:

 Group IA    is called Alkaline metal

Group IIA    is the Alkaline earth metals

 Group IIIA     Boron family elements

 Group VIIA    Halogens

 Group O     Noble gases or inert gases.

 Group IIIB to IIB   Transition elements.

Running a check of the given elements on the periodic table will confirm answer.
