A 10-m plank with a mass of 80 kg is being moved by rolling it over two cylindrical logs, each with a mass of 10 kg and a radius of 20 cm, placed 2 m from either end of the plank
As the plank is pushed, the logs roll on the ground without slipping, and the plank does not slip on the rollers. A force of 250 N is applied to the plank. What is the speed of the plank after it has moved 2 m, starting from rest? A) 1.87 m/s
B) 2.53 m/s
C) 3.43 m/s
D) 3.54 m/s
E) 2.37 m/s

Many meteorites appear to have formed very early in the solar system's history. How do these meteorites support the nebular theory's scenario for the formation of the terrestrial planets?
A) The appearance and composition of these meteorites is just what we'd expect if metal and rock condensed and accreted as the nebular theory suggests. B) The sizes of these meteorites are just what we'd expect if metal and rock condensed and accreted as the nebular theory suggests. C) The overall composition of these meteorites is just what we believe the composition of the solar nebula to have been: mostly hydrogen and helium. D) The appearance and composition of these meteorites matches what we observe in comets today, suggesting that they were once pieces of icy planetesimals.
