Answer:
Explanation:
Acceleration is equal to the change in velocity over the change in time, or
where the change in velocity is final velocity minus initial velocity. Filling in:
Note that I made the backward velocity negative so the forward velocity in our answer will be positive.
Simplifying that gives us:
and then isolating the final velocity, our unknown:
3.0(6.0) = v + 3.0 and
3.0(6.0) - 3.0 = v and
18 - 3.0 = v so
15 m/s = v and because this answer is positive, that means that the car is no longer rolling backwards (which was negative) but is now moving forward.
Answer: the sun
Explanation:
The sun's radiant energy reaches the earth's surface either directly through radiation, indirectly through convection, or it can move "across" or "through" objects or materials on the surface via conduction. Let's look more closely at each case. We've probably experienced the feeling of "warmth" of the sun on our skin on a sunny day. Light energy from the sun is reaching us across space and down through the atmosphere through radiation. A dark colored vehicle in the sun quickly becomes warm (or hot!) to the touch because of radiation. The light energy from the sun heats the air in the earth's atmosphere, and this drives convection and transfers thermal energy around. It is possible that we've felt a "hot breeze" on our skin on sunny days. The thermal energy in the air will be carried to objects in its path, and it will warm them.
