How is energy transferred from the sun to the earth?

An object is dropped from a tower, 400 ft above the ground. the object's height above ground t seconds after the fall is s(t)equals400 minus 16 t squared. determine the velocity and acceleration of the object the moment it reaches the ground. the velocity of the object the moment it reaches the ground is nothing ft/s.

A23 kg log of wood begins from rest, 300 m up a sluice (a water track used to transport logs, think of it as an inclined plane with negligible friction) inclined at 20° to the horizontal. after it reaches the flat waterway at the bottom it collides elastically with a 100 kg block of wood initially at rest near the base of the incline. (a) how long does it take the 23 kg log to travel down the incline? (b) what is the speed of the 23 kg log at the bottom of the incline? (c) what are the velocities of both blocks of wood after the collision? (d) what is the total kinetic energy before the collision? (e) what is the kinetic energy of the 23 kg log after the collision? (f) what is the kinetic energy of the 100 kg block of wood after the collision? (g) what is the total kinetic energy after the collision? (h) compare the total initial and total final kinetic energies. is this consistent with what you would expect for elastic collisions? explain!

I'm kinda lost ! 1. when marilyn takes her pet dog for a walk, the dog walks at a veryconsistent pace of 0.55 m/s. draw a position-time graph to representmarilyn's dog walking the 19.8 m distance from the front of her house tothe nearest fire hydrant.2. both car a and car bleave school when a stopwatch reads zero. car atravels at a constant 75 km/h, and car b travels at a constant 85 km/h.a) draw a position-time graph showing the motion of both cars. howfar are the two cars from school when the stopwatch reads 2 hrs? calculate the distances and show them on your graph.b) both cars passed a gas station 120 km from the school. when dideach car pass the gas station? calculate the times and show themon your graph.3. the figure below shows the position-time graph showing a shopper'smovement up and down the aisle at a store.a) write a story describing the shopper's movements at the store.b) when does the shopper have a position of 6 m? c) how much time passes between when the shopper enters the aisleand when he gets to a position of 12 m? what is the shopper's averagevelocity between 37 s and 46 s?
