Answer: a comet

Explanation:  

A comet is composed of rock, ice dust and frozen gases. Comets generally reside in the outskirts of the solar system i.e. Kuiper belt and Oort cloud.

When comets enter the solar system, the frozen gases sublimate and form the atmosphere of the comet. It is known as coma. As the comet nears the Sun, the coma expands as more frozen gases sublimate and extends backwards due to solar wind. A huge tail composed of gases and dust is formed and can be observed through telescope from Earth. This must be observed by Mischka.

Masja [62]
Let height of twin falls = x
height of seven falls = 2.5x

x + 2.5x = 420
3.5x = 420
x = 420/3.5 = 120

so twin falls = x = 120 ft
seven falls = 2.5x = 300 ft

What happens when multiple forces act on an object?
kozerog [31]
They can either cancel each other or add up to a resultant force with a certain direction and modulus.
Newton's second law states that F=m*a, where F is the resultant force, ie ΣF.
