Answer:

Titan takes 11.634 times longer to orbit Saturn as compared to Enceladus.

Explanation:

We have been given that the average distance of Enceladus from Saturn is 238,000 km; the average distance of Titan from Saturn is 1,222,000 km.

We will use Kepler's Law to solve our given problem.

\frac{(T_1)^2}{(T_2)^2}=\frac{(r_1)^3}{(r_2)^3}

Upon substituting our given values, we will get:

\frac{(T_1)^2}{(T_2)^2}=\frac{(238,000)^3}{(1,222,000)^3}

\frac{(T_1)^2}{(T_2)^2}=\frac{13481272000000000}{1824793048000000000}

\frac{(T_1)^2}{(T_2)^2}=\frac{13481272}{1824793048}

\frac{(T_1)^2}{(T_2)^2}=0.0073878361246365

Taking square root of both sides, we will get:

\frac{T_1}{T_2}=\sqrt{0.0073878361246365}

\frac{T_1}{T_2}=0.0859525225030452495

\frac{T_2}{T_1}=\frac{1}{0.0859525225030452495}

\frac{T_2}{T_1}=11.634329870476699\approx 11.634

T_2=11.634\cdot T_1

This implies that time period of Titan about Sturn is 11.634 times more compared to time period of Enceladus about Saturn.

So, basically Titan takes 11.634 times longer to orbit Saturn as compared to Enceladus.

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Delta_temp = 18[°F]

Explanation:

°F = 9/5*(10)

°F = 18

Note: It is important to clarify that it is only a temperature increase, that it is only a temperature increase. The question is not related to converting from 10°C to fahrenheit degrees

What will happen two temperatures if you increase particle motion
nalin [4]

If the temperature is increased the particles gain more kinetic energy or vibrate faster. This means that they move faster and take more space.
