Answer:

Meteoroids

Explanation:

Meteoroids are small masses of rocks or metallic bodies that often found to orbit around the Sun. The size of a meteoroid is smaller in comparison to the asteroids. The elements that are found in the meteoroids are extraterrestrial nickel and iron. Meteoroids are often formed by the fragments from bodies present in universe such as Mars or Moon and thrown into space by an impact. After formation they often come in the range of attraction of Sun and start orbiting around it.

Answer:

0.1308

Explanation:

To keep the rider from sliding down, then the friction force $F_f$ must at least be equal to gravity force $F_p$

$F_f = F_p$

$\mu N = mg$

where μ is the coefficient, N is the normal force acted by the rotating cylinder, m is the mass of a person and g = 9.81 m/s2 is the gravitational acceleration.

According to Newton's 3rd and 2nd laws, the normal force would be equal to the centripetal force $F_c$ , which is the product of centripetal acceleration $a_c$ and object mass m
