Why does it seem harder to start sliding a couch across a carpeted floor than it oes to keep it moving?

Physics

When you start sliding the couch, you have to overcome the static friction of the carpeted floor, which is usually very big, especially due to the texture of the carpet. However, as long as you get it moving, you only have to apply the force to overcome the kinetic friction, which is smaller than the static friction.

The Sun travels in a circular orbit at a velocity of 220 km/second at a distance of 8.5 kiloparsecs from the center of the Galax
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

2.353 × 10⁵ years

Explanation:

Since speed, v = distance/time

time, t = distance/speed

The distance, d = circumference of orbit = 2πr where r = radius of orbit = 8.5 kiloparsecs = 8.5 kiloparsecs × 3.1 × 10¹³ kilometers/parsec = ‭26.35‬ × 10¹³ kilometers and velocity of sun, v = 220 km/s

So, the time it takes to complete one orbit, T is

T = 2πr/v

= 2π × 26.35‬ × 10¹³ km/220 km/s

= 165.562  × 10¹³ km ÷ 220 km/s

= 0.753 × 10¹³ s

= 7.53 × 10¹² s

We now convert T to years

T = 7.53 × 10¹² s ÷ 3.2 × 10⁷ seconds/year

T = 2.353 × 10⁵ years
