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.

A circuit contains four capacitors in parallel (10 F, 3 F, 7 F, and 1 F). What is the equivalent capacitance of this circuit?

Oxana [17]

The equivalent capacitance ( $C_{eq}$ ) of an electrical circuit containing four capacitors which are connected in parallel is equal to: A. 21 F.

<h3>The types of circuit.</h3>

Basically, the components of an electrical circuit can be connected or arranged in two forms and these are;

Series circuit

Parallel circuit

<h3>What is a parallel circuit?</h3>

A parallel circuit can be defined as an electrical circuit with the same potential difference (voltage) across its terminals. This ultimately implies that, the equivalent capacitance ( $C_{eq}$ ) of two (2) capacitors which are connected in parallel is equal to the sum of the individual (each) capacitances.

Mathematically, the equivalent capacitance ( $C_{eq}$ ) of an electrical circuit containing four capacitors which are connected in parallel is given by this formula:

Ceq = C₁ + C₂ + C₃ + C₄

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

Ceq = 10 F + 3 F + 7 F + 1 F

Equivalent capacitance, Ceq = 21 F.

What is the change in internal energy if 60 J of heat is released from a system and 30 J of work is done on the system? Use U =

k0ka [10]

The change in internal energy of the system is +30 J

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the first law of thermodynamics, which states that the change in internal energy of a system is given by the equation:

$\Delta U = Q -W$
