A. accelerate toward the more massive object is your answer. In fact, even the acceleration with accelerate, also known as the jer.k. The more massive object will pull on the smaller object and the smaller object will increase its speed towards the more massive object.

idk why jer.k is a swear

Gravitational forces always appear in equal and opposite pairs.

When a small object is placed in a position near a more massive
object, there is a gravitational force on each object, attracting it
and drawing it toward the other one.

The force on the small object causes it to accelerate toward
the more massive one. The force on the more massive object
causes it to accelerate toward the smaller one.

The forces are equal. But since acceleration is inversely
proportional to mass, the small object heads toward the
more massive one with greater acceleration, and the more
massive object heads toward the smaller one with smaller
acceleration.

When you jump into the pool from the high diving board,
you accelerate toward the Earth, and the Earth accelerates
toward you. The gravitational forces between you and the
Earth are equal in both directions. But the Earth has more
mass than you have, so its acceleration toward you is smaller
than your acceleration toward it.

d) physical means can be used to separate the components of air.

Answer from: Quest

answer;

d. are made mostly of liquid

explanation;

-the general composition and structure planets includes; they have a thick gas and liquid layer covering a small,solid core. mostly the gases are hydrogen and helium atmosphere and layers of liquid hydrogen. for instance neptune and uranus are examples of the outer planets, they have a core covered by ice and ammonia.

-neptune's atmosphere is hydrogen and helium with a bit of methane so there is no oxygen to breath and the interior is made up of frozen water and ammonia with a rock and iron core. thus, there is no liquid water or solid surface to survive.

The base of a 50-meter tower is at the origin; the base of a 50-meter tree is at (0, 50, 0). the ground is flat and the z-axis points upward. the following parametric equations describe the motion of six projectiles each launched at time t = 0 in seconds. (i) r (t) = (50 + t2)k (ii) r (t) = 2t2 j + 2t2k (iii) r (t) = 50 i + 50 j + (50 − t2)k (iv) r (t) = 2t j + (50 − t2)k (v) r (t) = (50 − 2t) i + 2t j + (50 − t)k (vi) r (t) = t i + t j + tk (a) which projectile is launched from the top of the tower and goes downward? at time t = , the projectile hits the ground at point (x, y, z) = . (b) which projectile hits the top of the tree?
