Thermal energy quantifies the amount of heat present in the body and is calculated through the equation,
H = mcpdT
where H is the heat, m is the mass, cp is the specific heat, and dT is the temperature difference. If all things are constant, and the thermal energy is halved then, dT should also be reduced to half.
Explanation :
Static friction is the frictional force between two objects that are at rest. While sliding friction is the frictional force between two objects in contact and are sliding w.r.t each other.
Static friction is usually greater than sliding friction because in static friction the contact forces is more and the interlocking between objects is tight as compared to sliding friction.
Star 1 - 4 hours right ascension
Star 2 - 3 hours right ascension
Subtracting hours right ascension
4 hours right ascension - 3 hours right ascension = 1 hours right ascension.
Thus,
star 1 will rise 1 hour before star 2
