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.

The whale shark is the largest of all fish and can have the mass of three adult
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

m = 20,000 kg

Explanation:

Force, F=2.5\times 10^4\ N

Acceleration of the shark, a=1.25\ m/s^2

It is required to find the mass of the shark. Let m is the mass. Using second law of motion to find it as follows :

F = ma

Putting the value of F and a to find m

m=\dfrac{F}{a}\\\\m=\dfrac{2.5\times 10^4}{1.25}\\\\m=20,000\ kg

So, the shark's mass is 20,000 kg.
