Answer:

Static friction

Explanation:

Friction is a force which opposes the motion of one object moving relative to another. static friction and kinetic friction are the two type of friction.

Static friction is that type of friction which keeps an object at rest. Force must be applied greater than static friction to move an object. Therefore it is the static friction which helps the pile of rocks from falling apart.

A(n) 71.1 kg astronaut becomes separated from the shuttle, while on a space walk. She finds herself 70.2 m away from the shuttle

denpristay [2]

Answer:

10.347 minutes.

Explanation:

According to F = ma, she exerts force on camera of the magnitude

F = 0.67Kg*12m/ $s^{2}$ = 8.04N, assuming it took her one second to accelerate camera to 12m/s, then by newtons third law, which says every action has equal and opposite reaction , the camera exerts the same amount of force on the astronaut which gives her acceleration of a = $\frac{8.04N}{70.2Kg} = 0.1130801680m/s^2$ .

and velocity of V = 0.1130801680m/s.

at this velocity , the astronaut has to cover the distance of 70.2 meters, it will take her 620.7985075s = 10.347 min to get to the shuttle (using S = vt).
