Answer: Conduction

Explanation: As ice melts,more sunlight is absorbed,as more sunlight is absorbed,the atmosphere heats up,as the atmosphere heats up,more ice melts. This whole process is known as CONDUCTION.

Conduction occurs when there is different temperature between two materials, when there exist a transfer energy(i.e transfer from higher-energy atoms in the hot region to the lower-energy atoms in the cold region). When the atmosphere is heated up due to sunlight,there is a rise in temperature which makes the ice to melt due to transfer of warmth it absorbed from sunlight.

spayn [35]

Answer:

The maximum height a person's brain could be above his heart is: 1.28 meter.

Explanation:

We need to know what is the normal blood pressure ours hearts so there is a rate: 120/80 (mmHg) and the average will be: 100 (mmHg) and using the Pascal law that relate pressure, density, gravity and height like:P_{2} = pgh_{1} - pgh_{2} + P_{1}, where P is pressure, p is density, g is the gravity acceleration and h is the height. Now we can find the height and delta of pressure will be: P2-P1 = 100 (mmHg), knowing that 1(mmHg) is equal to 133 Pa, we can do the convertion to 13332.2 (Pa), now because the units of Pascal are Newton/(meter^2). Then we solve the formula to get the height: \frac{P2-P1}{pg} =h so we get:\frac{13332.2}{(1060*9,81)}=Height=1.28(meters).

Dark clothing feels warmer than white clothing on a sunny day. Which interaction causes the dark clothing to feel warm?
yulyashka [42]

Explanation:

The darker the object, the better it emits heat, because it's a better absorber of light. On the other hand, a white object appears white because it reflects all the different wavelengths and absorbs little to no light.
