(Please help! this is for astronomy!) Given Triton’s response to Neptune’s gravity, which of the following will MOST LIKELY happen?

A) Triton will become a dwarf planet.
B) Triton will become a supernova.
C) Triton will become a star.
D) Triton will become a ring around Neptune.

D

Explanation:

Because triton orbits neptune backwards it will fall into neptune giving neptune bigger rings

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
