1. Briefly Explain why sliding friction is less than static friction.

Physics
1 answer:
stellarik [79]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

No surface is perfectly smooth.  Everything has irregularities, like bumps and ridges.  Static friction is the friction between non-moving objects when their surfaces lock together.  When an object is sliding, its surface skips and jumps along the surface of the other object.  Because there's less locking between the surfaces, the sliding friction is less than the static friction.

Twin A makes a one way trip at 0.6c to a star 12 light years away while twin B stays on Earth. Each twin sends the other a signa
hram777 [196]

Answer:

8 signals received by twin A during the trip.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 12 light year

Speed = 0.6 c

Time = 1 year

We need to calculate the time by A

Using formula of time

T=t\sqrt{\dfrac{1+\dfrac{v}{c}}{1-\dfrac{v}{c}}}

Put the value into the formula

T=1\sqrt{\dfrac{1+0.6}{1-0.6}}

T=2\ years

Similarly,

The expression for distance cover by A

D=d\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}

D=12\sqrt{1-(0.6)^2}

D=9.6\ ly

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of time

t=\dfrac{D}{v}

t=\dfrac{9.6}{0.6}

t=16\ years

We need to calculate the signals received by twin A

Using formula for number of signals

n=\dfrac{t}{T}

Put the value into the formula

n=\dfrac{16}{2}

n=8\ signals

Hence, 8 signals received by twin A during the trip.
