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.

How is thermal energy from the sun distributed on Earth ?
Mrac [35]
Conduction and convection both require some material substance
to move heat from one place to another, and there's none of that
between the sun and Earth. 

The only way for thermal energy to move from place to place with
nothing in between is by the process of radiation, and that's how
it gets here from the sun.

what is the focalength of the combination of two thin renses of power -5D and -2D placeci in contact with each other?​
Ghella [55]

Answer:

f = - 0.143 m = - 14.3 cm

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the power of the combination of lenses:

P = P₁ + P₂

where,

P = Power of Combination = ?

P₁ = Power of first lens = - 5D

P₂ = Power of second lens = - 2D

Therefore,

P = - 5D - 2D

P = - 7D

Now, the focal length can be given as:

f = \frac{1}{P} \\\\f = \frac{1}{-\ 7\ D} \\\\

<u>f = - 0.143 m = - 14.3 cm</u>

Negative focal length indicates that combination will act as diverging lens.

Suppose a scientist doing an experiment in nuclear fusion starts out with twelve atoms. How many atoms will most likely result f
ddd [48]
<span>So we wan't to know what happens during nuclear fusion where we have 12 atoms. Nuclear fusion is a nuclear process where 2 or more nuclei will form 1 or more different nuclei with a release of energy. So if we start with 12 atoms, the most likely result will be 6 atoms. </span>
