Complete Question

A 95 kg clock initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires a 650 N horizontal force to set it in motion. After the clock is in motion, a horizontal force of 560 N keeps it moving with a constant velocity. Find the coefficient of static friction and the coefficient of kinetic friction.

Answer:

The value for static friction is \mu_s =  0.60

The value for static friction is \mu_k =  0.70

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the clock is m  =  95 \  kg

The first horizontal force is F _s  =  560 \  N

    The second horizontal force is    F _k  =  650  \  N

Generally the static frictional force is equal to the first  horizontal force

So

     F _s  =  m  *  g  *  \mu_s

=>   560  =  95  *  9.8  *  \mu_s

=>    \mu_s =  0.60

Generally the kinetic frictional force is equal to the second horizontal force

So

      F _k  =  m  *  g  *  \mu_k

      650 =  95  *  9.8  *  \mu_k

     \mu_k =  0.70

Astronomers know that the distance between the Earth and the Sun averages 1.50 x108 km. How can astronomers use the observed ste
rodikova [14]

Answer:

The distance of stars and the earth can be averagely measured by using the knowledge of geometry to estimate the stellar parallax angle(p).

From the equation below, the stars distances can be calculated.

D = 1/p

Distance = 1/(parallax angle)

Stellar parallax can be used to determine the distance of stars from an observer, on the surface of the earth due to the motion of the observer. It is the relative or apparent angular displacement of the star, due to the displacement of the observer.

Explanation:

Parallax is the observed apparent change in the position of an object resulting from a change in the position of the observer. Specifically, in the case of astronomy it refers to the apparent displacement of a nearby star as seen from an observer on Earth.

The parallax of an object can be used to approximate the distance to an object using the formula:

D = 1/p

Where p is the parallax angle observed using geometry and D is the actual distance measured in parsecs. A parsec is defined as the distance at which an object has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. This distance is approximately 3.26 light years

How much heat is needed to change the temperature of 3 grams of gold (c = 0.129 ) from 21°C to 363°C? The answer is expressed to
Temka [501]

Q= mcΔT

Where Q is heat or energy

M is mass, c is heat capacitance and t is temperature

You have to convert Celsius into kelvin in order to use this formula I believe

Celsius + 273 = Kelvin

21 + 273 = 294K

363 + 273 = 636K

Now...

Q= (0.003)(0.129)(636-294)

Q= 0.132 J if you are using kilograms, in terms of grams which seems more appropriate the answer would be 132J of energy.
