If a planet is found to rotate slower than expected, then astronomers suspect that the planet is accompanied by a satellite, because the total angular momentum is shared between the planet and its satellite in order to be conserved.

If the heavier body is much more massive than the smaller, as for a satellite or small moon orbiting a planet or for the Earth orbiting the Sun, it is accurate and convenient to describe the motion in a coordinate system that is centered on the heavier body, and we say that the lighter body is in orbit around the heavier.

If each satellite had two dozen lasers, two dozen satellites on-station would significantly blunt any attack.

If one could see a satellite in geostationary orbit, it would appear to hover at the same point in the sky, i. e., not exhibit diurnal motion, while the Sun, Moon, and stars would traverse the heavens behind it.

If the link includes a communications relay satellite, the forward link will consist of both an uplink ( base station to satellite ) and a downlink ( satellite to mobile user ).

If the link includes a communications relay satellite, the reverse link will consist of both an uplink ( mobile station to satellite ) and a downlink ( satellite to base station ) which together constitute a half hop.

If no other satellite is in view, the connection is dropped.

If the satellite is more than twice as dense as the primary, as can easily be the case for a rocky moon orbiting a gas giant, then the Roche limit will be inside the primary and hence not relevant.

If thrust is applied to speed the satellite, it will create an elliptical orbit with a higher apoapse 180 degrees away from the firing point.

If the satellite is above the horizon, it can be generally received, if it is below the horizon, reception is not possible.

If you were to incorporate the other aspects of vehicle telematics into this scenario ; the dispatcher, rather than phoning the recovery vehicle operative, could transmit the job details directly to the operative ’ s mobile data device, who would then use the in-vehicle satellite navigation to aid his journey to the job.

In January 2010, the Supreme Court struck sections of McCain – Feingold down which limited activity of corporations, saying, " If the First Amendment has any force, it prohibits Congress from fining or jailing citizens, or associations of citizens, for simply engaging in political speech .” Specifically, Citizens United struck down campaign financing laws related to corporations and unions ; law previously banned the broadcast, cable or satellite transmission of " electioneering communications " paid for by corporations in the 30 days before a presidential primary and in the 60 days before the general election.

If the body in question is a satellite in orbit for example, and all that is required is to find its velocity, then a single point may be the best representation.

If this star were to explode as a type Ia supernova at its estimated distance of 3300 light-years, it would have an apparent magnitude of around-9. 3, about as bright as the brightest Iridium ( satellite ) flares.

If, however, the primary is tidally locked with the satellite, the rotational period will coincide with the 9. 7-day orbital period of Vanth.

If a satellite phone provider encounters trouble with its network, handset prices will fall, then increase once new satellites are launched.

If the battery runs low, the weapon has a transmitter that sends a coded message — either by satellite or directly to a GRU post at a Russian embassy or consulate .” According to Lunev, the number of " missing " nuclear devices ( as found by General Lebed ) " is almost identical to the number of strategic targets upon which those bombs would be used.

If the satellite doesn't receive the messages from the transmitter 14 Type-240 Blast Plasma based nuclear warheads in the airports of the Northern, “ pro-black ” capital cities of the United States will explode, destroying these cities, and making way for a new, racist, Confederate America.

If a giant impact is the only way for a rocky inner planet to acquire a large satellite, any planet in the circumstellar habitable zone will need to form as a double planet in order that there be an impacting object sufficiently massive to give rise in due course to a large satellite.

If they are to be commended for foresight in their planning, what then is the judgment of a town council that compounds this problem during the planning stage??

`` If you saw the drama called Rhinoceros '', I said, `` think of the effect it would have on an audience of rhinos when the actor on stage suddenly begins turning into a rhinoceros.

If one characteristic distinguishes Boris Godunov, it is the consistency with which every person on the stage -- including the chorus -- comes alive in the music.

If Af denotes the net profit from stage R and Af, then the principle of optimality gives Af.

If we consider a process in which the outcome of one stage is known before passage to the next, then the principle of optimality shows that the policy in subsequent stages should be optimal with respect to the outcome of the first.

If the method is applied to an infinite sequence ( X < sub > i </ sub >: i ∈ ω ) of nonempty sets, a function is obtained at each finite stage, but there is no stage at which a choice function for the entire family is constructed, and no " limiting " choice function can be constructed, in general, in ZF without the axiom of choice.

If a nation continues on this path without resistance, Gini claimed the nation would enter a final decadent stage where the nation would degenerate as noted by decreasing birth rate, decreasing cultural output, and the lack of imperial conquest.

According to Bruce Campbell's autobiography, If Chins Could Kill, Richard acquired his stage name by combining his short name with his roommates ' names, Hal and Del.

If an RFC is part of a proposal that is on the Standard Track, then at the first stage, the standard is proposed and subsequently organizations decide whether to implement this Proposed Standard.

If this stage is not performed well, it is unlikely that the project will be successful in meeting the business ’ needs.

If Berlin needed to re-establish itself on the world stage, then Potsdamer Platz was one of the key areas where the city had an opportunity to express itself.

If this takes too long, is too costly, or is otherwise impractical, the second stage is mitigation.

If these tasks are not performed properly, developments in the Oedipal stage will be unstable.

If the SEM is equipped with a cold stage for cryo-microscopy, cryofixation may be used and low-temperature scanning electron microscopy performed on the cryogenically fixed specimens.

The first stage of boot loaders located on fixed disks and removable drives must fit into the first 446 bytes of the Master Boot Record in order to leave room for the default 64-byte partition table with four partition entries and the two-byte boot signature, which the BIOS requires for a proper boot loader — or even less, when additional features like more than four partition entries ( up to 16 with 16 bytes each ), a disk signature ( 6 bytes ), a disk timestamp ( 6 bytes ), an Advanced Active Partition ( 18 bytes ) or special multi-boot loaders If an active partition is found, the MBR code loads the boot sector code from that partition, known as Volume Boot Record ( VBR ), and executes it.

If the individual has taken a sufficiently large dose of cannabis, the level of intoxication progresses to the stage of being “ stoned ,” and the user may feel calm, relaxed, and possibly in a dreamlike state.

If not accurately predicted at the planning stage, this extra traffic may lead to the new road becoming congested sooner than anticipated.

If that termination makes a case moot, pregnancy litigation seldom will survive much beyond the trial stage, and appellate review will be effectively denied.

If more than two physical floppy drives are present DOS versions prior to 5. 0 will assign subsequent drive letters, whereas DOS 5. 0 and higher will remap these drives to higher drive letters at a later stage ; see below.

If a sunflower plant in the bud stage is rotated 180 °, the bud will be turning away from the sun for a few days, as resynchronization by the sun takes time.

If detected early, picking the cases from the trees while in their pupa stage is an effective way to check an infestation ; otherwise, insecticides are used.

Laughton turned out other memorable performances during that first Hollywood trip, repeating his stage role as a murderer in Payment Deferred, playing H. G. Wells ' mad vivisectionist Dr. Moreau in Island of Lost Souls, and the meek raspberry-blowing clerk in the brief segment of If I Had a Million, directed by Ernst Lubitsch.
