Day 1 a) 4 cups in a quart and 4 x 4 quarts = 16 cups in one gallon, 16 x 7 = 112 cups in 7 gallons b) 1 dollar x 112 = $112; $112 x 25 = 2800, which will be $28.00 + $112 = $140 or $112 ÷ 4 quarters = $28 and $28 + $112 = $140; etc. Day 2 a) Sierra saw 9 lions, because she saw the same number tigers; etc. b) Zebra: 15; Turtle: 17; Crocodile: 21; Giraffe: 7; Bird: 36; Monkey: 22; Tiger: 9; Lion: 9; Snake: 146 – (15 +17 + 21 + 7 + 36 + 22 + 9 + 9) 146 – 136 = 10 c) Turtle – median, because 15 is the middle number represented in the set: 7, 9 , 9, 10, 15, 17, 21, 22, 36 d) Tigers and Lions – mode, because the frequency of 9 animals appeared most often. Day 3 a) 37 rows with 13 chairs or 13 rows with 37 chairs 13 x 37 = 481 b) Answers may vary; I knew that I needed to use an odd number of chairs because the number ended in 1; I knew 48 x 10 = 480 so I knew I had to try a larger number than 10 and it needed to be odd; I looked at the first two digits in the number 481 and I divided 48 by 4 and got 12, so tried 481 ÷ 13= 37; etc.

  • The Moons of Jupiter – Orbital Synchrony 3
    The Moons of Jupiter – Orbital Synchrony 3 The figure above shows the orbits of many of Jupiter's numerous satellites. Each of these ‘moons’ orbits Jupiter in a different number of days. The image to the right shows the appearance of one of Jupiter’s moons Callisto. The orbit periods of many of the moons have simple relationships between them. When Jupiter’s moon Ganymede orbits 1/2 way around Jupiter, Jupiter's moon Europa orbits Jupiter once. When Jupiter’s moon Leda orbits Jupiter once, Ganymede orbits Jupiter 34 times. When Jupiter's moon Leda orbits Jupiter five times, the more distant moon Thelxinoe orbits Jupiter twice. When Leda orbits Jupiter three times, the moon Kalyke orbits Jupiter once. Example: 1/2 x Ganymede = 1 x Europa, so in the time it takes Europa to go once around Jupiter, Ganymede goes only ½ way around in its orbit. Problem 1 - How many times does Ganymede orbit Jupiter in the time it takes Europa to orbit six times? Problem 2 – How many times does Leda orbit Jupiter in the time it takes Ganymede to orbit Jupiter 6 times? Problem 3 - How many orbits will Thelxinoe have to complete around Jupiter before Kalyke orbits exactly five times? Space Math http://spacemath.gsfc.nasa.gov Answer Key 3 Problem 1 - How many times does Ganymede orbit Jupiter in the time it takes Europa to orbit six times? Answer: The information says that Europa orbits once when Ganymede orbits 1/2 times, so 1 x Europa = 1/2 x Ganymede and so 2 x Europa = 1 x Ganymede.

The irregular satellites of the giant planets are believed to have been captured during the evolution of the solar system. Knowing their physical parameters, such as size, density, and albedo is important for constraining where they came from and how they were captured.

Invent a Planet: Students may create (draw, paint, montage, build from household or classroom items, what- ever!) a planet. Does it have air? What color is its sky? Does it have ground? What is its ground made of? What is it like on this world? Invent an Alien: Students may create (draw, paint, montage, build from household items, etc.) an alien. To be fair to the alien, they should be sure to provide a way for the alien to get food (what is that food?), a way to breathe (if it needs to), ways to sense the environment, and perhaps a way to move around its planet.

It is surrounded by an extremely thin atmosphere composed of carbon dioxide and probably molecular oxygen. Named after Paisphae, which has a mean radius of 30 km, these satellites are retrograde, and are also believed to be the result of an asteroid that was captured by Jupiter and fragmented due to a series of collisions. Many are believed to have broken up by mechanical stresses during capture, or afterward by collisions with other small bodies, producing the moons we see today. Jupiter's Racing Stripes.

  • Irregular Satellites of the Giant Planets 411
    Nicholson et al.: Irregular Satellites of the Giant Planets 411 Irregular Satellites of the Giant Planets Philip D. Nicholson Cornell University Matija Cuk University of British Columbia Scott S. Sheppard Carnegie Institution of Washington David Nesvorný Southwest Research Institute Torrence V. Johnson Jet Propulsion Laboratory The irregular satellites of the outer planets, whose population now numbers over 100, are likely to have been captured from heliocentric orbit during the early period of solar system history. They may thus constitute an intact sample of the planetesimals that accreted to form the cores of the jovian planets. Ranging in diameter from ~2 km to over 300 km, these bodies overlap the lower end of the presently known population of transneptunian objects (TNOs). Their size distributions, however, appear to be significantly shallower than that of TNOs of comparable size, suggesting either collisional evolution or a size-dependent capture probability. Several tight orbital groupings at Jupiter, supported by similarities in color, attest to a common origin followed by collisional disruption, akin to that of asteroid families. But with the limited data available to date, this does not appear to be the case at Uranus or Neptune, while the situa- tion at Saturn is unclear. Very limited spectral evidence suggests an origin of the jovian irregu- lars in the outer asteroid belt, but Saturn’s Phoebe and Neptune’s Nereid have surfaces domi- nated by water ice, suggesting an outer solar system origin. The short-term dynamics of many of the irregular satellites are dominated by large-amplitude coupled oscillations in eccentricity and inclination and offer several novel features, including secular resonances.
