A student thinks that because the sun is made of gas, it transfers heat to Earth by convection. Which explains why this is an in

correct description of how the sun transfers heat to Earth? The space between the sun and Earth contains no matter. Convection cannot occur in gases. Earth can absorb heat only in the form of radiation. Electromagnetic waves do not carry energy.

Answer: The space between the sun and Earth contains no matter.

Explanation:

MODES OF HEAT TRANSFER

1. Conduction: This type of heat transfer happens when there is direct contact between the two objects.

2. Convection: This type of heat transfer happens when there is a movement of fluid (liquid or gas).

3. Radiation: This type of heat transfer happens when there is direct transfer of energy through space.

Thus convection can not take place between earth and sun as there is no liquid or gas present for movement of heat. The heat is transferred from sun to earth by radiation as it occurs through space.

Answer:

Option A, The space between the sun and Earth contains no matter

Explanation:

For convection to take place some medium is required for heat to travel.  

Basically convection takes place when heat flows from a region of high temperature to a region of low temperature which also requires matter motion. Since the space between earth and sun is a vacuum, therefore convection cannot take place.  

However, sun provides heat to earth through radiation as it does not require a medium for travelling.  

Hence, option A is correct

Answer:

Explanation:

1. a. Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle in which a typical cell spends most of its life. During interphase, the cell copies its DNA in preparation for mitosis.

b. The third phase is anaphase. This phase only takes about 0.8 percent of the cell cycle to complete, which is the shortest time required out of all the phases. During anaphase the sister chromatids, or the two identical parts of a chromosome, are pulled apart to opposite ends of the cell by the spindle fibers.

2. Mitosis is important for three main reasons: development and growth cell replacement and asexual reproduction.

  • Development and growth. After meiosis has produced a gamete, and this has fused with another gamete to form an embryo, the embryo grows using mitosis. ...
  • Cell replacement. ...
  • Asexual reproduction.

Answer: V(t)=5000(9/10)^t

Explanation:

If the car loses 1/10 of its value each year, that means 9/10 of the value remains each year.

So each year, the car's value is multiplied by a factor of 9/10 or 0.9

If we start with the initial value, $5000 and keep multiplying by 9/10 his function gives us the car's value t years from now:
