How many of our solar system's large moons orbit their planets in the same direction as their planet rotates?
poizon [28]

There are 171 moons, or natural satellites, orbiting the planets in our solar system; Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune have 1, 2, 66, 62, 27, and 13 moons, respectively. The following is a list of some of the major planetary moons, including those of the dwarf planet Pluto.

Out of them, Most of the large moons in the Solar System have prograde orbits. This means that they orbit their planet in the same direction as the planet is rotating.

Why do all the planets orbit in the same direction?

The same reason (almost) all of them rotate in the same direction: because of the conservation of angular momentum. Before a star and its planets exist, there's just a cloud of disorganized gas and small molecules. The Solar System formed from such a cloud around 4.6 billion years ago.

What is the frequency of a wave that has a wavelength of 0.39 m and a speed
gogolik [260]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is option B</h3>

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave can be found by using the formula

f =  \frac{c}{ \lambda}  \\

where

c is the velocity

From the question

wavelength = 0.39 m

c = 86 m/s

We have

f =  \frac{86}{0.39}  \\  = 220.512820...

We have the final answer as

<h3>200 Hz</h3>

Hope this helps you

A helicopter flying at a distance of 20.0 km from a radio transmitter receives a signal of intensity 35.1 μW/m2.
irinina [24]

Answer:

a) 0.162 V/m

b) 0.54 nT

c) 22 kW

Explanation:

Given

Distance of flight, d = 20 km

Intensity of signal, I = 35.1 μW/m²

Magnitude of the electric component is gotten using the formula

E(m) = √(2Iμc), where

E(m) = √(2 * 35*10^-6 * 4*3.142*10^-7 * 3*10^8)

E(m) = √(2 * 35*10^-6 * 1.257*10^-6 * 3*10^8)

E(m) = √0.0264

E(m) = 0.162 V/m

Magnitude of magnetic component can be gotten by using the relation

B(m) = E(m) / c

B(m) = 0.162 / 3*10^8

B(m) = 5.4*10^-10

B(m) = 0.54 nT

Transmission power, P = IA

where A = 1/2 * 4πr²

P = 2Iπr²

P = 2 * 35*10^-6 * 3.142 * (10000)²

P = 2 * 35*10^-6 * 3.142 * 1*10^8

P = 21994 W

Thus, the transmission power is 22 kW
