200 kW of solar radiation is shining on a 300 m^2 parking lot. What is the insulation on the parking lot?

That's "<em><u>insolation</u></em>" ... not "insulation".

'Insolation' is simply the intensity of solar radiation over some area.

If 200 kW of radiation is shining on 300 m² of area, then the insolation is

           (200 kW) / (300 m²) = <em>(666 and 2/3) watt/m²</em> .

Note that this is the intensity of the <em><u>incident</u></em> radiation.  It doesn't say anything
about how much soaks in or how much bounces off.

Wait ! 
I just looked back at the choices, and realized that I didn't answer the question
at all.  I have no idea what  "1 sun"  means.  Forgive me.  I have stolen your
points, and I am filled with remorse.

Wait again !
I found it, through literally several seconds of online research.

           1 sun = 1 kW/m².

So 2/3 of a kW per m²  =  2/3 of 1 sun

That's between 0.5 sun and 1.0 sun.

I feel better now, and plus, I learned something.

Consider the image above. Vi = the initial velocity and Vf = the final velocity. Is there acceleration? Explain your answer.
lutik1710 [3]
<span><span>Velocity is a vector, and the initial and final ones are in opposite directions.
There must have been acceleration in order to change the direction of motion.</span>

A) No. The initial and final velocities are the same.
This is all wrong, and not the correct choice.
It's "Yes", and the initial and final velocities are NOT the same.

B) Yes. The ball had to slow down in order to change direction.
This is poor, and not the correct choice.
The "Yes" is correct, but the explanation is bad.
Acceleration does NOT require any change in speed.

C) No. Acceleration is the change in velocity. The ball's velocity is constant.
This is all wrong, and not the correct choice.
It's "Yes", there IS acceleration, and the ball's velocity is NOT constant.

D) Yes. Even though the initial and final velocities are the same, there is a change in direction for the ball.
This choice is misleading too.
The "Yes" is correct ... there IS acceleration.
The change in direction is the reason.
The initial and final velocities are NOT the same.  Only the speeds are.
