The asteroid belt circles the sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. One asteroid has a period of 5.4 earth years. A- What is the asteroid's orbital radius?
B-What is the asteroid's orbital speed?

(a) Radius = 4.6 x 10^11 m

(b) speed = 16.96 km/s

Explanation:

Time period, T = 5.4 earth years

mass of sun, M = 1.989 x 10^30 kg

(a) Let the orbital radius is R.

use the formula of period

(b) Let the speed is v.

luster is not a good characteristic to use by itself because luster is the property of minerals that indicates how much the surface of a mineral reflects light. the luster of a mineral is affected by the brilliance of the light used to observe the mineral surface.
