The correct answer to fill
in the blank would be:
“a barrier island”
Barrier islands are
coastal landforms and a category of dune system that are remarkably even or
lumpy areas of sand that was formed by wave and tidal actions that are parallel
to the mainland coast. Due to this feature, there are no enough sand blockades
to minimize the destruction by Hurricane Sandy.
Answer:
The asteroid's acceleration at this point is 
Explanation:
The equation that governs the trajectory of asteroid is given by :
The velocity of asteroid is given by :
At some point during the trip across the screen, the asteroid is at rest. It means, v = 0
So,
Acceleration,
Put t = 0.971 s
So, the asteroid's acceleration at this point is and it is decelerating.
Right, as you mentioned in the comments, you find 
by plugging in the different values of 
.
For 
, we have
Similarly, for 
, you get
Answer:
No. The protostellar cloud spins faster in the collapsing stage (stage 1) and becomes much slower in the contraction stage (stage 2)
Explanation:
Once the cloud is so dense that the heat which is being produced in its center cannot easily escape, pressure rapidly rises, and catches up with the weight, or whatever external force is causing the cloud to collapse, and the cloud becomes stable, as a protostellar cloud.
The protostellar cloud will become more dense over thousands of years. This stage of decreasing size is known as a contraction, rather than a collapse. In the contraction stage the cloud has become much slower, and because weight and pressure are more or less in balance. In the first stage of formation, the decrease of size is very rapid, and compressive forces completely overwhelm the pressure of the gas, and we say that the cloud is collapsing.
