True or false? The asteroid belt is inside the Sun’s Roche limit and thus could not overcome the Sun’s tidal forces to form a planet.

True or false? The time interval when a specific comet’s tail is long is much less than the time interval when that comet’s tail is short.

True or false? The asteroid belt was probably produced when two large, fully formed terres-trial planets collided with and shattered each other.

True or false? Most meteor showers occur when a random comet or asteroid enters Earth’s atmosphere and then breaks up into many pieces.

True or false? Most of the Kuiper-belt objects are between the orbits of Neptune and the Oort cloud.

True or false? The peculiar distribution of certain types of Kuiper-belt objects suggests the gravitational influence of a very distant, massive “Planet Nine” that astronomers are now trying to find.

We are in a parallel universe where you have a mass of 70 kg. In these hard times (apparently the Corona virus is here too), you decided to rob a bank and Spiderman caught you. Thats not good. You try to run away. Before Spiderman's spider string catches you, you are traveling at a speed of 4 m/s. The initial attachment of the spider string immediately slows you down to a speed of 1 m/s. You are still running away, albeit slower. What is the magnitude of the impulse you experience from the spider string.

A 11 kg package is sliding down a hill with an incline angle of 21 degrees from a horizontal surface. If the package slides down the hill at a constant velocity of 0.9 m/s, find the magnitude of the friction force. Yes, it is possible to solve this problem without the coefficient of kinetic friction; it arguably makes the problem easier. (As a reminder, magnitude means your answer should be positive.)

At ?=0 an, a time dependent perturbation Wt=Ccos(ωt) is applied to the system for a sufficiently long time, here C is a complex number and w is the angular frequency of the applied perturbation. Calculate the probability of finding the system in |φf eigen states of H0 when the system in resonance ω≈ωfi. Assume also that Ef-Ei=ωfi >0.
