They hit at the same time. Everything falls at the same rate.

Answer:

All arrive at the same time on the ground.

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law

                F = m a

The force is the attraction of gravity of the Earth on the body

              F = W = mg

Let's replace

             m g = m a

             a = g

We can see that the acceleration of the body is independent of its masses, so that the three bodies, bowling, tennis and pen have the same acceleration and as the three legs of rest. All arrive at the same time on the ground.

If I remember correctly (from my studies long time ago) the layers are from the outer to the center:
SiAl : Silicon-Aluminum
SiMa : Silicon-Magnesium (although should be Mg)
NiFe : Nickel-Iron

The SiMa layer should have the lightest elements (Magnesium is lighter than Aluminum)

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 box is sliding down an incline tilted at a 12° angle above horizontal. The box is initially sliding down the incline at a spee
OLga [1]

Answer:

The box will cover a distance of 0.9199m before coming to rest

Explanation:

We are given;

Angle of tilt; θ = 12°

Speed of sliding down; u = 1.5 m/s

Coefficient of kinetic friction; μ = 0.34

We are told that the box is sliding down an incline tilted at a 12° angle above horizontal.

Thus,

The components of the weight of the block would be;

Fx = mg sinθ = mg sin 12

Fy = mg cosθ = mg cos 12

For, the normal force on the block, it will be counter balanced by the Y component of weight of block and so we have;

Normal force; Fn = mg cos 12

Now formula for the frictional force would be given by;

Ff = μmg cos 12

So, Ff = 0.34mg cos 12

So, the net force along the inclined plane is;

Fnet = Fx - Ff

Fnet = mg sin 12 - 0.34mg cos 12

Where Fnet = mass x acceleration.

Thus;

ma = mg sin 12 - 0.34mg cos 12

m will cancel out to give;

a = g sin 12 - 0.34g cos 12

a = 9.81(0.2079) - 0.34(9.81 × 0.9781)

a = -1.223 m/s²

According to Newton's equation of motion, we have;

(v² - u²) = 2as

s = (v² - u²)/2a

Final velocity is zero. Thus;

s = (0² - 1.5²)/(2 × -1.223)

s = -2.25/-2.446

s = 0.9199 m

Thus, the box will cover 0.9199m before coming to rest
