An asteroid is in circular orbit around the Sun. Its distance from the Sun is 7.3 times the average distance of Earth from the S

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

An asteroid is in circular orbit around the Sun. Its distance from the Sun is 7.3 times the average distance of Earth from the Sun. The period of this asteroid is C : 20 Earth years .

Explanation:

Kepler's law

T² ∝ R³

T = orbital period of the planet

R = semi major axis of the orbit.

Now

( T₁ / T₂ )² = ( R₁ / R₂ )³

T₁ = Earth time period = 1 year

T₂ = Asteroid time period

R₁ = The distance between Earth and Sun

R₂ = The distance between Asteroid and Sun

From the question ,

R₂ = 7.3 R₁

applying on the above equation ,

( T₁ / T₂ )² = ( R₁ / R₂ )³

( 1 / T₂ )² = ( R₁ / 7.3 R₁ )³

( 1 / T₂ )² = ( 1 / 7.3 )³

T₂ = 19.7 year

Hence ,

approximately T₂ = 20 years.

The period of this asteroid is C : 20 Earth years .

Which three statements support the idea that South America is a single cultural region?

ziro4ka [17]

The correct answer is - In most Latin American countries, the majority of locals speak Spanish.
Most of the countries in South America have Spanish as their official language, but it is not just the language that is a trait that connects people, it is also the influence of the Spanish culture as well, even in the few countries where it is not a dominant language.

Lerok [7]

A rational number can be in the form of a fraction, integer, whole number..

In this case, the square root of 36 is 6. For the other answer choices, you'll get an irrational number.

Therefore, the answer is square root of 36.

How was the hereditary caste system closely connected to hindu beliefs in reincarnation?

Anastaziya [24]

Karma; in other words, you reap what you sow in your next life. A person's caste was seen as the result of the actions they committed in a past life. It is why Hinduism supported the caste system for so long because they believed that it was the result of Karma and appointed by the gods. Similarly, it's also why many wealthy Hindus refuse to give to charity because they believe that the poor are reaping what they sowed in a previous life.

7. Which of the following planets has an orbital eccentricity most like the orbital eccentricity of the Moon (e - 0.0549)? A) Me

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

E) Saturn (e- 0.0541)

Explanation:

The eccentricity of an ellipse (e) is a value that determines the shape of the ellipse, in the sense that it is more rounded or if it approaches a segment. Let "c" be the focal semidistance and "a" the major semi-axis:

e = c / a

The planets glide majestically into an orbit around the Sun, leaving no trace of the gravitational constraints that drive them. However, an orbit is the path followed by a planet to satisfy the constraints of the gravitational effects of the multiple celestial bodies and in particular of the sun.

The orbits have a perihelion and aphelion, therefore an eccentricity and an inclination, an ascending node, a vernal point and an argument of the perihelion. The orbits of the planets are all more or less in the same plane. This orbital plane is called the ecliptic.

In the case of saturn, the orbital eccentricity is 0.054150600
