Answer: Solar radiation reflects off the lighter colours, away from the car, thus keeping the car cool

Explanation: This is because lighter colors reflect a good amount of radiation while darker colors absorb it. Just like, Antarctica hasn't completely melted because it reflects a lot of the heat that is acting upon it. Or, you notice that you get hotter when you wear a black shirt opposed to a white one.

If a certain mass of mercury has a volume of 0.002 m^3 at a temperature of 20°c, what will be the volume at 50°c
V125BC [204]
Change in volume = mass x coefficient of linear expansion x change in temperature
.002 x .0001802 x 30 = .000010812

initial volume + change in volume = Final volume
.002 + .000010812 = .002010812 m cubed

Kinetic Energy =  (1/2) mv^2.

m = 57.7 g = 57.7/1000 = 0.00577 kg.
v = 325 m/s.

E = 0.5 * 0.00577 * 325^ 2.    Use your calculator.

E = 304.728125  J.

That's the kinetic energy.
