We can solve the problem by using Kepler's third law, which states that the ratio between the cube of the orbital radius and the square of the orbital period is constant for every object orbiting the Sun. So we can write

$\frac{r_a^3}{T_a^2}=\frac{r_e^3}{T_e^2}$

where

$r_a$ is the distance of the asteroid from the sun (orbital radius)

$T_a=5.2 y$ is the orbital period of the asteroid

$r_e = 1 AU$ is the orbital radius of the Earth

$T_e=1 y$ is the orbital period the Earth

Solving the equation for $r_a$ , we find

$r_a = \sqrt[3]{\frac{r_e^3}{T_e^2}T_a^2} =\sqrt[3]{\frac{(1 AU)^3}{(1 y)^2}(5.2 y)^2}=3 AU$

So, the distance of the asteroid from the Sun is exactly 3 times the distance between the Earth and the Sun.

Answer:

Frequency.

Explanation:

Sound are mechanical waves that are highly dependent on matter for their propagation and transmission.

Sound travels faster through solids than it does through either liquids or gases. A student could verify this statement by measuring the time required for sound to travel a set distance through a solid, a liquid, and a gas.

Mathematically, the speed of a sound is given by the formula:

Speed = wavelength * frequency

The pitch of a sound you hear depends on the frequency of the sound wave.
