Why are we unlikely to find Earth-like planets around halo stars in the Galaxy?
A) Halo stars formed from gas containing lots of heavy elements and few of the light elements needed to create terrestrial planets like the Earth.
B) Halo stars formed from gas containing few heavy elements, the elements needed to create terrestrial planets like the Earth.
C) Planets around stars are extremely rare in our Galaxy.
D) Halo stars formed directly from gas in the halo without forming a planetary disk.
E) Halo stars are all very low mass stars that cannot hold onto planets.

What are the differences between neap tides and ebb tides?
a -The tidal range of a spring tide is larger than the tidal range of a neap tide. b -During a spring tide, the moon, Earth and sun are aligned along a single line. During a neap tide, the moon and sun act on the Earth in right angles.\ c -When a spring tide occurs, the moon is new or full. When a neap tide occurs. The moon is at first quarter or new quarter. d -All of the above
A very massive body A and a less massive body B move toward each other under the influence of gravity. Compared to the force on A, the force on B is
1) greater. 2) the same. 3) less. As A and B get closer and closer, each experiences an increase in 4) velocity. 5) acceleration. 6) force. 7) all of these. 8) none of these.
Is it likely that dark matter is not actually responsible for the acceleration of the Universe, and that the problem actually is with our understanding of gravity?
