<span>Heat from the Sun is transferred to the sand without direct contact. This heat is then transferred to your feet by direct contact.</span>

The second sentence best represents the situation because the sun does not touch the sand so direct contact is not made. Then, your feet do touch the sand so direct contact is made. Thus, "Heat from the sun is transferred to the sand without direct contact. This heat is then transferred to your feet by direct contact." is the best answer.

____ is the thermal energy transfer that occurs from the motion of fluid in a liquid or gas.
Marysya12 [62]
The answer is C. Convection.

Radiation is the transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves. Conduction, on the other hand, is energy transfer through solid material. Condensation occurs when warm gas makes contact with a cold surface or environment, which causes a change in state from gas to liquid. These definitions rule out choices A, B, and D. 

Convection is movement of particles in fluid or gas. As liquid/gas heats up, it becomes less dense and rises, moving away from the heat source. When it rises, it eventually cools down and sinks again. It is warmed up again and the cycle continues. This is why there is a circular motion when convection occurs.

A coin and feather are dropped in a moon. what will fall earlier on ground.give reasons.if they are dropped in the earth,which o
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

  • on the moon, they will fall at the time
  • on earth, the coin will fall faster to the ground

Explanation:

A coin and feather dropped in a moon experience the same acceleration due to gravity as small as 1.625 m/s², and because of the absence of air resistance both will fall at the same rate to the ground.

If the same coin and feather are dropped in the earth, they will experience the same acceleration due to gravity of 9.81 m/s² and because of the presence of air resistance, the heavier object (coin) will be pulled faster to the ground by gravity than the lighter object (feather).
