Radiation. That's perhaps the only way that energy gets from the Sun to the earth. The space between the two is a vacuum, so conduction is more or less out as is convection. There's no obvious sign of mirrors, so reflection seems to be out as well.

Answer: The correct answer is radiation.

Explanation:

There are three method of transfer of energy: conduction, convection and radiation.

In conduction, there is no actual movement of the particle. There is conduction in the solid. Heat is transferred from hotter end of an object to cold end of the particle.

In convection, there is actual movement of the particle. Both liquid and gases can transfer heat energy by convection.

In radiation, it does not require particles in its transfer of energy. In the given problem, the light from the Sun heats a metal surface. This is an example of radiation.

Therefore, the option is A.

To solve the problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of the description of angular movement.

The angular velocity can be described as

\omega_f = \omega_0 + \alpha t

Where,

\omega_f =Final Angular Velocity

\omega_0 =Initial Angular velocity

\alpha = Angular acceleration

t = time

The relation between the tangential acceleration is given as,

a = \alpha r

where,

r = radius.

PART A ) Using our values and replacing at the previous equation we have that

\omega_f = (94rpm)(\frac{2\pi rad}{60s})= 9.8436rad/s

\omega_0 = 63rpm(\frac{2\pi rad}{60s})= 6.5973rad/s

t = 11s

Replacing the previous equation with our values we have,

\omega_f = \omega_0 + \alpha t

9.8436 = 6.5973 + \alpha (11)

\alpha = \frac{9.8436- 6.5973}{11}

\alpha = 0.295rad/s^2

The tangential velocity then would be,

a = \alpha r

a = (0.295)(0.2)

a = 0.059m/s^2

Part B) To find the displacement as a function of angular velocity and angular acceleration regardless of time, we would use the equation

\omega_f^2=\omega_0^2+2\alpha\theta

Replacing with our values and re-arrange to find \theta,

\theta = \frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_0^2}{2\alpha}

\theta = \frac{9.8436^2-6.5973^2}{2*0.295}

\theta = 90.461rad

That is equal in revolution to

\theta = 90.461rad(\frac{1rev}{2\pi rad}) = 14.397rev

The linear displacement of the system is,

x = \theta*(2\pi*r)

x = 14.397*(2\pi*\frac{0.25}{2})

x = 11.3m
