Answer:

C. 180 N

Explanation:

m = mass of the blocking sled = 60 kg

\mu = Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.30

f = kinetic frictional force acting on the sled

kinetic frictional force acting on the sled is given as

f = \mu mg = (0.30) (60) (10) = 180 N

F =Force applied

For the sled to move at constant speed, the applied force must be same as the frictional force

F = f\\F = 180 N

How does the search for exoplanets help us describe how science requires creativity?
Aliun [14]

Answer:

As the planets are very small and dark in comparison with stars, it makes them very hard to be found from earth.

Explanation:

Astronomy, of course, has a solution for this. As astronomers can't observe planets directly, they decided to observe the stars and search for the effects that planets have on them.

There are many ways of observing the exoplanets: Radial Velocity, Transit Photometry, Microlensing, Astrometry, Direct Imaging, etc.

Before all of this, scientist had to find ways to prove their theories. Most of their time they have spent in giving the creative answers.

Science and creativity are very much connected when we speak about the development of science. Rationality and creativity always go together.

In order to create an idea that other people will consider useful, it is important to use creativity. As no one has the exact answer when it comes to science, the adventure is to research the unknown.
