Explanation:

The forces acting on the rock include Normal Force, Gravitational force & Friction force

It's possible for it to stay on the boulder because the normal force balances it's weight. also because static friction acts on the boulder up to it's limiting friction even if it were on an attempt to move as a result of air resistance. gravitational forces act upon it by mainly affecting it it's weight. as altitude increases, it's weight decreases since gravity varies from a height to another.

ELEN [110]
Well, first of all, I don't think "After the collapse of a nebular cloud ..."
is the first time that "atoms begin gravitating together".  Seems to me like
that's what was going on all the time, and it's what caused the nebular cloud
to collapse in the first place.

In any case, once the pressure and temperature at the center get high enough,
you get "ignition" of nuclear fusion, and that's when you first have a "star".

What subatomic particle acts like a mini-magnet?
Semenov [28]
 The subatomic particles that acts like a mini-magnet is electron. Electrons are negatively charged sub atomic particles in an atom. The electron spin is a property of an electron that makes it behave like it's spinning; a spinning electron produces a magnetic field that makes it behave like a tiny magnet in an atom.

When the wedges are removed, the cars will move. Predict which direction they will move and when they will stop
Neko [114]

Answer: hello your question lacks the required diagram attached below is the required diagram

answer : Both cars will move backwards and stop due to friction.

Explanation:

Given that both cars are negatively charged, When the wedges are removed both cars will move backwards ( repelling each other ) because they are like poles, and Like poles repel each other. while unlike poles attract each other ( forward movement )  .

The cars will later come to a stop due to frictional forces between the cars and the surface.
