Which energy resources are found above the Earth's surface​

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.

16. Solids cannot transport heat through convection. Because solids are stuck in place so they can't flow and since they can't flow, there is no convection.
17. It is because the metal conducts heat faster that it feels colder than the wood, which conducted heat slower. In other words metals are good conductors of heat. It takes away your body heat as you touch it and which makes your body temperature to drop, therefore you feel the coldness when you touch a piece of metal.

In this setup how can potential energy be converted into kinetic energy .
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

If force is applied to cause the motion of the body

Explanation:

In the setup given in this diagram, potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy by applying force on the cart or object to move it down the slope.

Potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body. The body has huge potential energy at its current position.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body.

As the body moves down the slope and its velocity increases, it gains massive kinetic energy.

Down the slope, the kinetic energy increases as the potential energy decreases.

At the bottom of the slope, the potential energy becomes zero and the kinetic energy is at its maximum.
