Answer:

<h2>B</h2>

Explanation:

MODES OF HEAT TRANSFER

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

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.

A. Rubbing your hands together, is a type of energy transformation in which mechanical energy transforms to heat energy.

<h3>B. Heating a fish tank: Hot liquid tends to rise and cool liquid tends to sink and thus the fish tank heats.</h3>

C. Basking in the sun: is a type of radiation as the sun energy is transferred through space.

D. Striking a match: is a energy transformation in which mechanical energy transforms to heat and light energy.

How did astronomers precisely determine the length of an Astronomical Unit in the 1960s?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Use of telemetry and radar astronomy

Explanation:

An astronomical Unit (AU) is a unit of measuring distances in outer space, which is based on the approximate distance between the earth and the Sun.

After several years of trying to approximate the distance between the Sun and the Earth using several methods based on geometry and some other calculations, advancements in technology made available the presence of special motoring equipment, which can be placed in outer space to remotely monitor and measure the position of the sun.

The use of direct radar measurements to the sun (radar astronomy) have also made the determination of the AU more accurate.

A standard radar pulse of known speed is sent to the Sun, and the time with which it takes to return is measured,  once this is recorded, the distance between the Earth and the Sun can be calculated using

distance = speed X time.

However, most of these means have to be corrected for parallax errors

What is electricity
fgiga [73]
Electricity is a form of energy. Electricity is the flow of electrons. All matter is made up of atoms, and an atom has a center, called a nucleus. The negative charge of an electron is equal to the positive charge of a proton, and the number of electrons in an atom is usually equal to the number of protons. Hope this helped. ;)
