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) Write the energy equation for an elastic collision. (b) For an inelastic collision.
velikii [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are two types of collision.

(a) Elastic collision: When there is no loss of energy during the collision, then the collision is said to be elastic collision.

In case of elastic collision, the momentum is conserved, the kinetic energy is conserved and all the forces are conservative in nature.

The momentum of the system before collision = the momentum of system after collision

The kinetic energy of the system before collision = the kinetic energy after the collision

(b) Inelastic collision: When there is some loss of energy during the collision, then the collision is said to be inelastic collision.

In case of inelastic collision, the momentum is conserved, the kinetic energy is not conserved, the total mechanical energy is conserved and all the forces or some of the forces are non conservative in nature.

The momentum of the system before collision = the momentum of system after collision

The total mechanical energy of the system before collision = total mechanical of the system after the collision
