Answer to Problem 1RQ

The thoroughly mixing is due to the convection at the surface of the star.

Explanation of Solution

Red dwarf stars are main sequence stars which still have fuel inside the core in it and hence fusion reaction.

It has less surface temperature of around 2,000K to 4,000K. The red colour of the star defines its name and the red signifies the low surface temperature.

The convection process is still be there at the surface of this stars which leads to the thorough mixing of gases and other elements present in it.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the thoroughly mixing is due to the convection at the surface of the star.

Students are asked to use circular motion to measure the coefficient of static friction between two materials. They have a round turntable with a surface made from one of the materials, for which they can vary the speed of rotation. They also have a small block of mass m made from the sec- ond material. A rough sketch of the apparatus is shown in the figure below. Additionally they have equipment normally found in a physics classroom. Axis m (a) Briefly describe a procedure that would allow you to use this apparatus to calculate the coefficient of static friction, u. (b) Based on your procedure, determine how to analyze the data collected to calculate the coefficient of friction. (c) One group of students collects the following data. r (m) fm (rev/s) 0.050 1.30 0.10 0.88 0.15 0.74 0.20 0.61 0.25 0.58 i. Use the empty spaces in the table as needed to calculate quantities that would allow you to use the slope of a line graph to calculate the coefficient of friction, providing labels with…
