The sun continuously radiates energy into space in all directions. Some of the sun's energy is intercepted by the Earth. The average temperature of the surface of the Earth remains a little above 300 k. Why doesn't the Earth's temperature rise as it intercepts the sun's energy?

A. The Earth reflects the sun's light.

B. The Earth radiates an amount of energy into space equal to the amount it receives.

C. The energy only raises the temperature of the upper atmosphere and never reaches the surface.

D. The thermal conductivity of the Earth is low.

E. The heat is carried away from the Earth by convection currents.

Researchers determine that the biodiversity in a woodland region is declining. they identify two major threats to the region's biodiversity, a method to address each threat, and the expected outcome of each method. this information is shown in the table. a) reforestation would not benefit many species because most forest species live on the ground. b) reforestation would take the longest time to be effective because trees take several years to grow. c) biological augmentation would benefit only a few species because is is typically not very effective. d) biological augmentation would take less time to ve effective because it targets the majority of prey species.

Aparticle's position is given by x = 3.00 - 9.00t + 3t2, in which x is in meters and t is in seconds. (a) what is its velocity at t = 1 s? (b) is it moving in the positive or negative direction of x just then? (c) what is its speed just then? (d) is the speed increasing or decreasing just then? (try answering the next two questions without further calculation.) (e) is there ever an instant when the velocity is zero? if so, give the time t; if not, answer "0". (f) is there a time after t = 3 s when the particle is moving in the negative direction of x? if so, give the time t; if not, answer "0".
