Jovian planets are thought to form beyond the frost line of their star systems. How, then, might it be possible for a large moon around a jovian planet to have a habitable surface with liquid water?

A) The moon would need to be locked in synchronous rotation with its planet.
B) The jovian planet would need to have migrated inward to the habitable zone of its star.
C) The moon would need to have a magnetic field.
D) The moon would need to have plate tectonics.
E) The moon would need to have a high density.

A speedy tortoise can run with a velocity of 10.0 cm/s and a hare can run 20.0 times as fast. In a race, they both start at the same time, but the hare stops to rest for 2.00 minutes. The tortoise wins by a shell (20.0 cm). What was the length of the race?
