Answer:

2.84*10^-3 years = 0.00284*10^-3 years

Explanation:

To find the orbital period you use the following formula:

T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^2r^3}{GM}}

r: 2.0A = 2.0(1.5*10^11m)=3*10^11 m

G: Cavendish constant = 6.67*10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2

M: mass of the sun = 1.98*10^30 kg

T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^2(3*10^{11}m)^3}{(6.67*10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(1.98*10^{30}kg)}}\\\\T=89839.27\ s

Next, you calculate the time in seconds of one Earth's year:

1\ year=365days*\frac{24\ h}{1\ day}*\frac{3600\ s}{1\ h}=31536000\ s

thus, you use this value to find the orbital period of the asteroid in Earth's year:

T=89839.27\ s*\frac{1\ year}{31536000\ s}=2.84*10^{-3}\ years

The UN was invited by the then President Kasavubu and Prime Minister and Patrice Lumumba respectively on the 12th of July of the same year, against the secession group backed by the Belgian government. It was in this atmosphere that the first UN peace keeping mission (ONUC) was established and lasted until 1964. Their primary objective was to remove Belgian military presence from the country and ensure internal military stability. However this was did not involve the control of insurrection groups which finally led to Lumumba seeking military aid from the Soviet Union.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

The regular flooding along the Tigris and the Euphrates made the land around them especially fertile and ideal for growing crops for food. That made it a prime spot for the Neolithic Revolution, also called the Agricultural Revolution, that began to take place almost 12,000 years ago.
