Now let’s say you’re on the Moon. If you were to drop a hammer and a feather from the same height, which would hit the ground first?
Trick Question! On the moon both objects would hit the ground at the same time. On Earth, the hammer lands first.
So yeah, the student is right. Galileo gave us this theory long ago.
Answer:

Explanation:
The rotation rate of the man is:



The resultant rotation rate of the system is computed from the Principle of Angular Momentum Conservation:
![(90\,kg)\cdot (5\,m)^{2}\cdot (0.16\,\frac{rad}{s} ) = [(90\,kg)\cdot (5\,m)^{2}+20000\,kg\cdot m^{2}]\cdot \omega](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%2890%5C%2Ckg%29%5Ccdot%20%285%5C%2Cm%29%5E%7B2%7D%5Ccdot%20%280.16%5C%2C%5Cfrac%7Brad%7D%7Bs%7D%20%29%20%3D%20%5B%2890%5C%2Ckg%29%5Ccdot%20%285%5C%2Cm%29%5E%7B2%7D%2B20000%5C%2Ckg%5Ccdot%20m%5E%7B2%7D%5D%5Ccdot%20%5Comega)
The final angular speed is:

Option D is correct. An arch carries the thrust of weight to its <u>sides </u>with a <u>post-and-lintel.</u>
<u></u>
<h3>What is an arch?</h3>
An arch is indeed a vertical curving construction that covers an elevated space that may or may not sustain the load above it or the pressure gradient against it
In the case of a horizontally arched, such as an embankment dam. While arches and vaults are often confused, A vault is defined as an ongoing arch forming a roof.
Option D satisfies the fill-in blanks option.
Hence option D is correct. An arch carries the thrust of weight to its <u>sides </u>with a <u>post-and-lintel.</u>
