It would take <u> 8 years </u> for the asteroid to orbit once around the sun.

What is a semimajor axis?

  • In geometry, the major axis of an ellipse is its longest diameter: a line segment that runs through the center and both foci, with ends at the two most widely separated points of the perimeter.
  • The semi-major axis (major semiaxis) is the longest semidiameter or one half of the major axis, and thus runs from the centre, through a focus, and to the perimeter.
  • The semi-major axis of a hyperbola is, depending on the convention, plus or minus one half of the distance between the two branches.
  • Thus it is the distance from the center to either vertex of the hyperbola.
  • In astronomy, the semi-major axis is one of the most important orbital elements of an orbit, along with its orbital period.
  • For Solar System objects, the semi-major axis is related to the period of the orbit by Kepler's third law.

Korolek [52]

Answer:

f = pl / (l + p)

Explanation:

1/f = 1/p + 1/l

Find the common denominator of the right hand side.

1/f = l/(pl) + p/(pl)

Add:

1/f = (l + p) / (pl)

Take the inverse of both sides:

f = pl / (l + p)

2. Compare and Contrast A fault cuts through
Elenna [48]

Explanation:

The principle of cross-cutting relationships states that a fault or intrusion is younger than the rocks that it cuts through. The fault labeled "E" cuts through all three sedimentary rock layers (A, B,and C) and also cuts through the intrusion (D). So the fault must be the youngest formation that is seen and known of.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Explanation:

Writers periodically compete to see who can write the longest sentence in literature. James Joyce long held the English record with a 4,391 word sentence in Ulysses. Jonathan Coe one-uped him in 2001 with a 13,955 word sentence in The Rotter’s Club. More recently, a single-sentence, 469,375 word novel appeared.Writers periodically compete to see who can write the longest sentence in literature.

12. An organ pipe that is 1.75 m long and open at both ends produces sound of
podryga [215]

Answer:

354 m/s

Explanation:

For the second overtune (Third harmonic) of an open pipe,

λ = 2L/3................................ Equation 1

Where L = Length of the open pipe, λ = Wave length.

Given: L = 1.75 m.

Substitute into equation 1

λ = 2(1.75)/3

λ = 1.17 m.

From the question,

V = λf.......................... Equation 2

V = speed of sound in the room, f = frequency

Given: f = 303 Hz.

Substitute into equation 2

V = 1.17(303)

V = 353.5

V ≈ 354 m/s

Hence the right answer is 354 m/s
