A planet whose distance from the sun is 3 au would have an orbital period of how many earth-years?
Fiesta28 [93]
<span>The orbital period will be 5.196 earth years. The period of an orbit is proportional to the square root of the cube of the semi-major axis. The semi-major axis of earth is 1 AU (actually 1.000001018 AU, but for this problem 1 is close enough). The hypothetical planet will have a semi-major axis of 3 AU. So making the ratios with earth's year being 1, earth's semi-major axis being 1, the planet's year being y, and the planet's semi-major axis being 3, we get the following ratio. 1 / 1^(3/2) = y / 3^(3/2) Raise the denominators to the 3/2 powers. 1/1 = y/5.196 Multiply both sides by 5.196 5.196 = y So the orbit period will be 5.196 earth years.</span>

La difusión de caracteristicas materiales y no materiales de una cultura a otra
torisob [31]

Answer:

En antropología cultural, la difusión transcultural es un concepto introducido por Leo Frobenius en su obra Der westafrikanische Kulturkreis (1897/98), que se refiere a la expansión del uso de objetos, ideas, estilos , religiones, tecnología, lenguas, etc. entre personas de diferentes culturas. Es un proceso diferente de la difusión de innovaciones dentro de una cultura específica, ya que la difusión transcultural siempre involucra a más de una cultura. El fenómeno puede darse por adopción voluntaria, por imitación, o por imposición cultural.

Difusión cultural de Egipto, Grafton Elliot Smith (1929).

La difusión a través de diferentes culturas es un fenómeno bien testimoniado y, por tanto, que no es cuestionado. Por ejemplo la práctica de la agricultura parece haberse expandido desde algún lugar de Medio Oriente a toda Eurasia, hace menos de 10 mil años, habiendo sido adoptadas las prácticas agrícolas por muchas culturas diferentes. Otros ejemplos bien establecidos de difusión, incluyen el empleo de carro de guerra, el trabajo del hierro en tiempos prehistóricos o el uso del automóvil o la indumentaria occidental de negocios, durante el siglo XX.
