Answer:

7982 seconds

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Distance of asteroid, a = 4 AU = 5.984 * 10^8 m

Mass of sun, M = 1.9891 * 10^30 kg

Orbital period, P, is given as:

P² = (4π²a³) /(GM)

Where G = 6.6774 * 10^(-11) m³/kgs²

P² = [4 * π² * (5. 984 * 10^8)³]/(6.674 * 10^(-11) * 1.9891 * 10^30)

P² = (8.459 * 10^27)/(1.328 * 10^20)

P² = 6.372 * 10^7

=> P = 7982 seconds

Energy, heavier atoms atoms, neutron and a proton are the products of a fusion reaction.

<h3>What are the products of a fusion reaction?</h3>

Nuclear fusion is a type of reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei fuse or combine to form heavy nuclei and subatomic particles such as neutrons or protons and release of energy.

So we can conclude that Energy, heavier atoms, neutron and a proton are the products of a fusion reaction.

when a constant force acts upon an object the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass. when a certain constant
solong [7]

Explanation:

When a constant force acts upon an object the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass.

a\propto \dfrac{1}{m}

or

\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{m_2}{m_1}

If m₁ = 21 kg, a₁ = 3 m/s², m₂ = 9 kg

We need to find a₂

So,

a_2=\dfrac{m_1a_1}{m_2}\\\\a_2=\dfrac{21\times 3}{9}\\\\a_2=7\ m/s^2

So, if mass is 9 kg, its acceleration is 7 m/s².
