Which of the following best describes why the sun emits most of its energy in the form of visible light?
(a) like all objects, the sun emits thermal radiation with a spectrum that depends on its temperature, and the sun's surface temperature is just right for emitting mostly visible light. (b) nuclear fusion in the sun's core produces visible light photons. (c)the sun's gas is on fire like flames from wood or coal, and these flames emit visible light. (d) the visible light comes from energy level transitions as electrons in the sun's hydrogen atoms jump between level 1 and level 2.

Very large accelerations can injure the body, especially if they last for a considerable length of time. one model used to gauge the likelihood of injury is the severity index ( ), defined as =/ . in the expression, is the duration of the accleration, but is not equal to the acceleration. rather, is a dimensionless constant that = the number of multiples of that the acceleration is equal to.in one set of studies of rear-end collisions, a person's velocity increases by 13.7 km/h with an acceleration of 36.0 m/s2 . let the + direction point in the direction the car is traveling. what is the severity index for the collision?
