Saturn’s rings consist mainly of orbiting chunks of ice and rock. Consider a 2.00 kg chunk of ice orbiting at an altitude of 6.63 x 10 m. Find
a) the gravitational force exerted on the chunk of ice by Saturn.
b) the acceleration of the ice?
c) the orbital speed of the ice.
d) the orbital period of the ice in hours.
The mass of Saturn is 5.68 x 10^26 kg and its radius is 5.822 x 10^7 m
