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.
(3 m) / (2 mm/yr) = (3,000mm)/(2mm/yr) = 1,500 yrs.
This is the time required to age approx 75 generations of the best wine.
The particles of the medium (slinky in this case) move up and down (choice #2) in a transverse wave scenario.
This is the defining characteristic of transverse waves, like particles on the surface of water while a wave travels on it, or like particles in a slack rope when someone sends a wave through by giving it a jolt.
The other kind of waves is longitudinal, where the particles of the medium move "left-and-right" along the direction of the wave propagation. In the case of the slinky, this would be achieved by giving a tensioned slinky an "inward" jolt. You would see that such a jolt would give rise to a longitudinal wave traveling along the length of the tensioned slinky. Another example of longitudinal waves are sound waves.
Answer:
1497×10⁵ km
Explanation:
Speed of light in vacuum = 3×10⁵ km/s
Time taken by the light of the Sun to reach the Earth = 8 min and 19 s
Converting to seconds we get
8×60+19 = 499 seconds
Distance = Speed × Time
1 AU = 1497×10⁵ km
The Sun is 1497×10⁵ km from Earth
Explanation:
The uneven heating causes temperature differences, which in turn cause air currents (wind) to develop, which then move heat from where there is more heat (higher temperatures) to where there is less heat (lower temperatures). The atmosphere thus becomes a giant "heat engine", continuously driven by the sun.
Wind is the result of pressure changes in the atmosphere due to temperature.
