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 ❤️

Acceleration=9.81m/s^2
initial velocity=0m/s
time=.28s

We have to find final velocity.

The equation we use is

Final velocity=initial velocity+acceleration x time

Vf=0m/s+(9.81m/s^2)(.28s)
Vf=2.7468m/s

We would round this to:

Vf (final velocity)=2.7m/s

All stars go through a lifecycle.
Komok [63]

Mira is much bigger than the Sun.

Only very massive stars will go through a supernova stage, causing the outer layer to explode away and the core to collapse in on itself, becoming very dense.

Which has more pressure, FIRST one gets all the points.
SSSSS [86.1K]

<u>Answer:</u>

area of point has more pressure.

<u>Explanation:</u>

formula's : pressure = force ÷ area

1st pressure,

200 ÷ 0.2 = 1000 Pa

2nd pressure,

200 ÷ 0.004 = 50000 Pa

<h3>Therefore the pressure on the area of the point is more.</h3>

A+slab+of+a+thermal+insulator is 100cm2 in crss-section and 2cm thick. If it has a thermal conductivity of 0.1J/s/m/(C°) and a t
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The heat flow through the slab in a day is 432,000 J

Explanation:

Q = kA∆T/t

Q is rate of heat flow

k is thermal conductivity = 0.1 J/s/m.°C

A is area = 100 cm^2 = 100 cm^2 × (1 m/100 cm)^2 = 0.01 m^2

∆T is temperature difference = 100 °C

t is thickness = 2 cm = 2/100 = 0.02 m

Q = 0.1×0.01×100/0.02 = 5 J/s

In a day, there are 24×60×60 = 86,400 s

Heat flow in a day = 5 J/s × 86,400 s = 432,000 J
