An asteroid, whose mass is 2.50×10-4 times the mass of Earth, revolves in a circular orbit around the Sun at a distance that is 2 times the Earth's distance from the Sun. Calculate the period of revolution of the asteroid.

What is the ratio of the kinetic energy of the asteroid to the kinetic energy of Earth?
We use the law of periods,
T² = (4π²/GM)r³
where M is the mass of the sun and r is the radius of the
orbit.kinetic energy of any asteroid or planet in a circular orbit
of radius r is given by K = GMm/2r, where m is the mass of the
asteroid or planet. As kinetic energy is proportional to m and
inversely proportional to r.
there E is the subscript for the dimensions related to the earth.

Q5.7: An asteroid is in circular orbit around the Sun. Its distance from the Sun is 7.3 times the average distance of Earth from the Sun. The period of this asteroid is 20 Earth years A 7.3 Earth years 144 Earth years 53 Earth years 3.8 Earth years E
An asteroid is discovered in a nearly circular orbit around the Sun, with an orbital radius that is 2.49 times Earth's. What is the asteroid's orbital period T, its "year," in terms of Earth years? ears
Consider a satellite (mass = 6.80 kg) in a circular orbit about Earth. Calculate the following properties of the satellite given a radius r of its orbit of 2.80×107m. Its period: Tries 0/10 Its kinetic energy: Tries 0/10 Its angular momentum: Tries 0/10 Its speed:
An asteroid is in an orbit around the sun whose closest point to the sun has a radius R and whose most distant point has a radius 9R, where R is equal to the radius of the earth's orbit = 1 AU = 1.5 x 10^11 m. 1. What is the asteroid's speed when it is closest to the sun? 2. How does this compare with the earth's orbital speed? 3. What is the period of this orbit, in years?
What is the angular kinetic energy of the Earth due to its orbit around the sun? In Homework 10, you found the two main angular velocities of the Earth: one due to the Earth's motion around the sun, and one due to its rotation about its own axis. Now let's figure out the energy and momentum associated with that motion. IVO ALV O a ? For the purposes of this problem, treat the Earth as a solid, uniform sphere with...
Assume the earth is revolving around the sun in a circular orbit with a radius of 149,600,000km. What is the centripetal acceleration of the earth as it revolves around the sun?
The mean distance of an asteroid from the Sun is 4.10 times that of Earth from the Sun. From Kepler's law of periods, calculate the number of years required for the asteroid to make one revolution about the Sun. yr
A small spinning asteroid is in a circular orbit around a star, much like the earth's motion around our sun. The asteroid has a surface area of 7.70 m2. The total power it absorbs from the star is 4200 W. Assuming the surface is an ideal absorber and radiator, calculate the equilibrium temperature of the asteroid (in K).
4. Two satellites (equal in mass) are in a circular orbit around the Earth. Satellite 1 is traveling at constant velocity vi. Satellite B is traveling at constant veloci v2. If Satellite A is at a distance ri from the Earth's center, the distance from Satellite B to the Earth's center is A), Vi
A rocket with mass 4.00 times 10^3 kg is in a circular orbit of radius 7.10 times 10^8 m arcund the earth, The rocket's engines fire for a period of time to increase that radius to 8 80 times 10^6 m, with the orbit again circular, What is the change in the rocket's kinetic energy? Does the kinetic energy increase or decrease? Express your answer with the appropriate units. Enter positive value if the kinetic energy increases and negative value...
