Answer:

<h2>Radiation</h2>

Explanation:

<h3>Greetings !</h3>

The Sun reaches us by propagating through the vacuum of space. Sunlight reaches the Earth in about 8 minutes and 20 seconds. When this energy reaches the Earth's atmosphere, both conduction and convection play key roles to scatter it throughout the planet.

Answer: The heat from the sun reaches us through radiation and processes such as conduction and convection helps to scatter that heat on the surface of our planet.

Explanation:

The phenomenon behind the Sun's heat reaching us is radiation. It does this by propagating through the vacuum of space.

The amount of time it takes for the sunlight to reach us on Earth is approximately 8 minutes and 20 seconds. When it reaches our planet, conduction, the movement of heat or electricity through a medium or passage, as well as convection, the rising of hotter and less dense material and sinking of colder and more dense/denser material, helps to scatter the heat on Earth's surface.

What sort of process converts the mechanized energy in the ocean into electricity?

allochka39001 [22]

I think it is the wave energy.
Wave energy also known as the ocean energy is the energy harnessed from the ocean or sea waves. It is a source of power that comes from the endless march of the waves as they roll into the shore then back out. Using wave energy is advantageous as they are environmental friendly as there are no harmful byproducts, and also the energy from waves can be taken directly into electricity-producing machinery and used to power generators.

What is an example of speed?

svlad2 [7]

<span>The speed is a scalar quantity which by definition is the distance traveled per unit of time. Unit for speed is: km/h. (how many km the object is moved for one hour) or mph (miles per hour).
From the given option D. A dog runs an average 8 mph. (this means that a dog is moving 8 miles per hour).

A motorboat traveling from one shore to the other at a rate of 5m/s east encounters a current flowing at a rate of 3.5m/s north

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Resultant velocity will be equal to 6.10 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given a motorbike is traveling with 5 m/sec in east

And a current is flowing at a rate of 3.5 m /sec in north

We know that east and north is perpendicular to each other

So resultant velocity will be vector sum of both velocity

So resultant velocity $v=\sqrt{5^2+3.5^2}=6.10m/sec$

So resultant velocity will be equal to 6.10 m/sec
