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.

The protons and electrons are held in place on the x axis.
The proton is at x = -d and the electron is at x = +d. They are released at the same time and the only force that affects movement is the electrostatic force that is applied on both subatomic particles. According to Newton's third law, the force Fpe exerted on protons by the electron is opposite in magnitude and direction to the force Fep exerted on the electron by the proton. That is, Fpe = - Fep. According to Newton's second law, this equation can be written as
                               Mp * ap = -Me * ae
where Mp and Me are the masses, and ap and ae are the accelerations of the proton and the electron, respectively. Since the mass of the electron is much smaller than the mass of the proton, in order for the equation above to hold, the acceleration of the electron at that moment must be considerably larger than the acceleration of the proton at that moment. Since electrons have much greater acceleration than protons, they achieve a faster rate than protons and therefore first reach the origin.

A car is accelerating at 30 m/s2, if the car is 400 kg how much force
Verizon [17]
It would be 12,000 because newton’s third 2nd law states F=ma (force=matter x acceleration) so 30x400 would be your force .

please mark brainliest and i hope this helps!
