A superheated cloud of gas and dust swirling around a massive object (usually a black hole or neutron star) is called an accretion disk. The correct option is c.

<h3>What is accretion disk?</h3>

Accretion disk is a heavy object surrounded by flow of gas, plasma, dust, or particles.  The materials surrounding the heavy object orbiting in the gravitational field of the object that loses energy and angular momentum as it slowly spirals inward.

This cloud can reach incredible speeds and temperatures as gravity causes it to build up more and more friction, eventually releasing x rays.

Thus, accretion disk is a superheated cloud of gas and dust swirling around a massive object.

A car is traveling with a velocity of 5.5 m/s and has a mass of 1200 kg. What is the kinetic energy?!
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

<h2>18150 J</h2>

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the car can be found by using the formula

k =  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2}  \\

m is the Mass

v is the velocity

From the question we have

k =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 1200 \times  {5.5}^{2}  \\  = 600 \times 30.25

We have the final answer as

<h3>18150 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

What is the dependent variable in this
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

"the plants had already started growing."

Explanation:

I think this is the answer because the definition of a dependent variable is the variable that is being affected by the change. Since the plants had already started growing BECAUSE of "They ran out of the farmer's compost, so

some of the plants received that compost

when the seeds were planted and other

plants got hardware store compost after

the plants had already started growing."

Sorry if I am wrong, I am just a 4th grader, pls don't hate on me, I am just trying to help :)

a person was using a spanner to loosen a tight nut.Their mass was 50kg the spanner was 0.5m long i) what is the persons weight?
sineoko [7]

1) Weight of the person: 490 N

2) Maximum torque: 245 Nm

Explanation:

1)

The weight of a body is equal to the gravitational force exerted on the body; it is given by the equation

F=mg

where

m is the mass of the body

g is the acceleration due to gravity

For the person in this problem,

m = 50 kg is the mass

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface

Therefore, the weight of the person is

F=(50)(9.8)=490 N

2)

The turning force (also called torque) exerted by a force rotating an object is given by

\tau = Fd sin \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the length of the arm (the distance between the force and the pivotal point)

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the arm

For the spanner in this problem,

F = 490 N is the force applied (the weight of the person)

d = 0.5 m is the arm (the length of the spanner)

The maximum torque is obtained when \theta=90^{\circ}, therefore it is:

\tau=(490)(0.5)(sin 90^{\circ})=245 N\cdot m

The thrust from a car is 2000 N. The air resistance and friction together total 680 N. What happens to the speed of the car?
zheka24 [161]
The car will speed up because if the air resistance and friction forces are reacting in the direction opposite to the Applied force, The Net force will still be in the direction of the car's motion and since F=ma a will cause your velocity to increase
