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.

Can you guys help to understand this graph I'm so confused why I getting wrong?
dedylja [7]
The one fact that needs to be mentioned but isn't given anywhere on or around the graph is: The distance, on the vertical axis, is the distance FROM home. So any point on the graph where the distance is zero ... the point is in the x-axis ... is a point AT home.

Segment D ...
Walking AWAY from home; distance increases as time increases.

Segment B ...
Not walking; distance doesn't change as time increases.

Segment C ...
Walking away from home, but slower than before; distance increases as time increases, but not as fast. Slope is less than segment-D.

Segment A ...
Going home; distance is DEcreasing as time increases. Walking pretty fast ... the slope of the line is steep.
