A Porsche sports car can accelerate at 8.8 m/s^2. Determine its acceleration in km/h^2.
finlep [7]

Answer:

The acceleration expressed in the new units is 114.048 Km/h^{2}

Explanation:

To convert from m/s^{2} to Km/h^{2} it is necessary to remember that there are 1000 meters in 1 kilometer and 3600 seconds in 1 hour:

Then by means of a rule of three it is get:

8.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}.(\frac{1Km}{1000m}).(\frac{3600s}{1h})^{2}

8.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}.(\frac{1Km}{1000m}).(\frac{12960000s^{2}}{1h^{2}})

Hence, the units of meters and seconds will cancel. Notice the importance of square the ratio 3600s/1h, so that way they can match with the other units:

114.048 Km/h^2

So the acceleration expressed in the new units is 114.048 Km/h^2.

How does radiation transfer thermal energy from the Sun to Earth?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The thermal energy is carried by electromagnetic waves

Explanation:

There are three types of transfer of heat (thermal energy):

- Conduction: conduction occurs when two objects/two substances are in contact with each other. The heat is transferred from the hotter object to the colder object by the collisions between the molecules of the two mediums.

- Convection: convection occurs when a fluid is heated by an external source of heat. The part of the fluid closer to the heat source gets warmer, therefore it becomes less dense and it rises, and it is replaced by the colder part of the fluid, which is colder. Then, this part of fluid is heated as well, so it gets warmer, it rises, etc.. in a cycle.

- Radiation: radiation occurs when thermal energy is carried by electromagnetic waves. Since electromagnetic waves do not need a medium to propagate, this is the only method of heat transfer that can occur through a vacuum (so, in space as well).

Indeed, the Sun emits a lot of electromagnetic radiation, which travels through space and eventually reaches the Earth, heating it.
