Question

table 2: distance and gravitational force
mass of the ring particle (kg) | gravitational force (×10,000 newtons) | distance from saturn (×1000 km)
--- | --- | ---
1 | 38 | 100
1 | 26 | 120
1 | 22 | 130
1 | 17 | 150
1 | 12 | 180
1 | 9 | 200
1 | 8 | 220
1 | 6 | 250
1 | 5 | 280

1. examine table 2. list three observations you can make about this data.

1 -
2 -
3 -

1. variables that change in this table are ____________ and ____________.
2. a variable that does not change in this table is _____________________.

Explanation:

For question 6, observations are derived from analyzing trends and fixed values in the table. For questions 7 and 8, identify columns with changing or constant values respectively.

Answer:

6.
1 - As distance from Saturn increases, gravitational force decreases.
2 - The mass of the ring particle remains constant at 1 kg.
3 - Gravitational force decreases non-linearly with increasing distance.

1. Gravitational Force; Distance From Saturn

1. Mass of the Ring Particle
