How do we get heat on Earth? Does thermal energy travel directly from the sun?

We get heat on earth from the sun. Energy from the sun is transferred through space and through earths atmosphere to the earths surface. And since this warms the earth surface it creates heat.

a 2kg marble is moving at 3 m/s when it strikes another 4kg marble moving in the opposite direction at -3 m/s. What will be the
Elan Coil [88]
Momentum is conserved after the collision 

Momentum of 2 Kg before collision = 2 * 3 = 6
Momentum of 4 kg  before collision = 4 * -3 = -12

so 6 + -12 = 2 * -4 + 4 *x   where x is velocity of 4kg marble.

4x - 8 = -6
4x = 2
x = 0.5 

Velocity of 4 kg marble is 0.5 m/s after collision

The 2 kg marble will move in the opposite direction to which it was moving before the collision.

Define , gravitational acceleration
Vitek1552 [10]
The simplest answer would be "acceleration due to gravity." 

The exact value of this acceleration changes depending on which planet your on (for example).

What are some ways that light can be controlled and what does it do to the light
marusya05 [52]
-- pass the light through a lens
The path of the light is bent (refracted) to a new direction.

-- bounce the light off a shiny surface
The light is sent back (reflected) in the direction from which it arrived.

-- pass the light through a prism
The light is spread out according to the different wavelengths
that may be in it.

-- put something black in the light's path
The light is completely absorbed and is never seen again.

-- turn the light off
The source stops emitting light.

-- throw a towel over the lamp
The light is absorbed in the towel, and not seen outside of it.

You have two contentious friends, Chris and Pat, and you’ve quickly discovered that they need you to resolve arguments they have
pshichka [43]

Answer:

v_average = (d₂-d₁) / Δt

this average velocity is not necessarily the velocity of the extreme points,

Explanation:

To resolve the debate, it must be shown that the two have part of the reason, the space or distance between the two points divided by time is the average speed between the points.

             v_average = (d₂-d₁) / Δt

this average velocity is not necessarily the velocity of the extreme points, in the only case that it is so is when there is no acceleration.

Therefore neither of them is right.
