Consider again the civilization described in the previous question. (They live on a planet orbiting 10 AU from a close binary star system that consists of a 15 MSun red giant star and a 10 MSun black hole surrounded by an accretion disk
) One foolhardy day, a daring individual in their space force (let's call him Major Tom) decides to become the first of his species to cross the event horizon of the black hole. To add to the drama, he decides to go in wearing only a thin space suit, which offers no shielding against radiation, no cushioning against any forces, and so on. Which of the following is most likely to kill him first (or at least to start the process of killing him first)? A) tidal forces due to the black hole B) the crush of gravity at the singularity embedded within the black hole C) X-rays from the accretion disk D) the sucking force from the black hole, which will cause his head to explode

An object of mass 10.0 kg is released from the top of an inclined plane which makes an angle of inclination of 30.0° with the horizontal. The object slides along the inclined plane
The questions refer to the instant when the object has traveled through a distance of 2.00 m measured along the slope. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the mass and the surface is 0.200. Use g = 10 m/s2. How much work is done by gravity? A) 100 J B) 20.0 J C) 0 J D) 10.0 J E) 131 J
