Heat is transmitted through conduction, convection, and radiation. The heat that reaches us from the Sun is infrared radiation, which travels at the speed of light. So, it takes about 8 minutes for it to reach Earth from the Sun.

How does heat from the sun reach us: Heat moves in three ways: Radiation, Conduction, and convection. Radiation happens when heat moves as energy waves, called infrared waves, directly from its source to something else. This is how the heat from the sun gets to earth for the light to radiate us.


At what speed does this transfer of heat takes place? / Heat is transferred through conduction, convection, and radiation. The heat that reaches us from the sun is infrared radiation, which travels at the speed of light, so it takes about 8 minutes for it to reach earth to the sun ❤️

Two balls have masses 18 kg and 47 kg. The 18 kg ball has an initial velocity of 76 m/s (to the right) along a line joining the
BigorU [14]

Answer:

The final velocity of 18 kg ball is V_{2} = 42.09 \frac{m}{sec}

Explanation:

Mass of first ball m_{1} = 18 kg

Mass of second ball m_{2} = 47 kg

Initial velocity of 18 kg ball V_{1} = 76 \frac{m}{sec}

Initial velocity of 47 kg ball = 0

Final velocity of 18 kg ball V_{2} = ??

Final velocity of 18 kg ball  is given by the formula

V_{2} = \frac{2 m_{1} V_{1} }{m_{1} + m_{2}  }

Put all the values in above formula we get

V_{2} = 2 × 18 × \frac{76}{65}

V_{2} = 42.09 \frac{m}{sec}

Thus, the final velocity of 18 kg ball is V_{2} = 42.09 \frac{m}{sec}
