let the friction coefficient on dry ice and wet ice is different and given as

\mu_d = on dry ice

\mu_w = on wet ice

now by friction force formula we can say

F_f = -\mu mg

so the deceleration due to friction force is given as

a = -\mu g

now the deceleration due to friction force on both surface is given as

a_1 = -\mu_d * g

a_2 = -\mu_w * g

now the time to stop the two blocks can be calculated by kinematics

v_f - v_i = a t

0 - v_0 = -\mu_d * g * t_d

t_d = \frac{v_0}{\mu_d* g}

also for other block on wet ice we can say similarly

t_w = \frac{v_0}{\mu_w*g}

now the ratio of two time on two surfaces is given as

\frac{t_d}{t_w} = \frac{\mu_w}{\mu_d}

so this is the ratio of time on two surfaces

Match the words in the left-hand column to the appropriate blank in the sentences in the right-hand column.
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

1. Molecular cloud

2. Close binary

3. Brown dwarf

4. Protostellar wind

5. Thermal pressure

6. Protostellar disk

7. Jet

8. Degeneracy pressure

Explanation:

1. The Sun formed, probably along with other stars, within a large molecular cloud.

2. A Close binary consists of two stars that orbit each other every few days.

3. A Brown dwarf is a "star" so small in mass that its core never gets hot enough to sustain nuclear fusion reactions.

4. Most of the gas remaining from the process of star formation is swept into interstellar space by a protostellar wind.

5. As a protostar's internal temperature increases, its growing thermal pressure helps slow its contraction due to gravity.

6. Planets may form within the protostellar disk that surrounds a forming star.

7. Mass can be lost through a jet of material ejected along a protostar's axis of rotation.

8. A "star" with mass below 0.08 solar mass has its gravitational contraction halted by degeneracy pressure.
