What is the escape velocity for Enceladeus in m/sec2 and could the plume particles form a ring around Saturn? Answer choices: 239, no 230, yes 250, no 239, yes

What is the observed angular speed of Neptune, along the ecliptic of Earth, when it is at opposition, in units of arc minutes / day? Presume the orbits are circular. Earth has orbital speeds of 30km/s and Neptune has 5.43km/s, Neptune here has orbital radius 30.1 AU. Now looking at Uranus for the same condition, in what direction along the ecliptic will it be traveling?

Calculate the escape velocity of Titan.
