Answer:

9.4\cdot 10^{10} m

Explanation:

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_o is the distance of the new object from the sun (orbital radius)

T_o=180 d is the orbital period of the object

r_e = 1.50\cdot 10^{11} m is the orbital radius of the Earth

T_e=365 d is the orbital period the Earth

Solving the equation for r_o, we find

r_o = \sqrt[3]{\frac{r_e^3}{T_e^2}T_o^2} =\sqrt[3]{\frac{(1.50\cdot 10^{11}m)^3}{(365 d)^2}(180 d)^2}=9.4\cdot 10^{10} m

White light falls on a yellow filter,if:
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

all colours are absorbed except for the colour of the filter.

Explanation:

When white light passes through a coloured filter, all colours are absorbed except for the colour of the filter. For example, an orange filter transmits orange light but absorbs all the other colours. If white light is shone on an orange filter, only the orange wavelengths will be observed by the human eye.

How do longshore currents shape the land?
Sonbull [250]
Longshore drift has a very powerful influence on the shape and composition of the coastline. It changes the slopes of beaches and creates long, narrow shoals of land called spits, that extend out from shore. Longshore drift may also create or destroy entire “barrier islands” along a shoreline.
