Answer:

An asteroid that has an orbital period of 3 years will have an orbital with a semi-major axis of about  2 years.

Explanation:

Given;

orbital period of 3 years, P = 3 years

To calculate the years of an orbital with a semi-major axis, we apply Kepler's third law.

Kepler's third law;

P² = a³

where;

P is the orbital period

a is the orbital semi-major axis

(3)² = a³

9 = a³

a = a = \sqrt[3]{9} \\\\a = 2.08 \ years

Therefore, An asteroid that has an orbital period of 3 years will have an orbital with a semi-major axis of about  2 years.

A car with a mass of 2000 kg is moving around a circular curve at a uniform velocity of 25 m/s per second. The curve has a radiu
IrinaK [193]
The centripetal force is:
 F = mv² / R
 Where:
 m: mass of the object
 v: object speed
 R: radius of the curve.
 We have to:
 m = 2000kg
 v = 25 m / s
 R = 80 meters.
 Then the centripetal force acting on the vehicle is:
 F = (2000kg * (25m / s) ²) / 80m
 F = 15625 N
