How does the sun heat the sand?
The sun's rays are made up of three types of electromagnetic radiations - UV, visible light and near IR. The infrared rays fall on the sand and the energy is absorbed as thermal energy, thus heating up the sand. Some of this heat is reflected back into the atmosphere and we can feel even the air above the sand to be hotter.
Explain why shaking caused the temperature of the sand to rise?
The temperature of the sand rose because energy was created. It's like rubbing your hands together to warm them up. There's friction and there's new energy, meaning more heat, and higher temperature.
When you walk barefoot on hot sand heat is transferred to your feet from the sand?
Heat is transferred by thermal conduction.
Describe the three processes that transport energy?
1. radiation- which transfers energy from the sand to the air2. conduction- which the transfer of heat energy from one substance to another by direct contact.3. convection- which the transfer of energy from place to place by motion of gas or liquid.
Why do sparks occur in wet sand when you stamp on it?
this may be possible do to mineral content within the grains of sand, stamping causes both compression and friction wich may cause energy to be released thus the sparks.
What happens to the kinetic energy of a bullet when it penetrates into a sand bag?
The Kinetic energy of the bullet is changed into heat energy, sound energy, and sometimes light energy but the total energy remains constant.
Does sand exert an equal but opposite force on your feet as you walk?
Yes
Is there such thing as sand energy?
No - however sand is able to store energy, in particular solar energy as the sun heats the sand and the sand collects the energy. It may be possible, in future, to try to collect the energy from the sand, but at the moment, this technology is unavailable.
What were sandbags used for World War 1?
The military has used sand bags for many years to absorb shock and projectiles. Sand disipates energy so when a bullet hits it, the shock is spread out among all the grains and the bullet stops. Soldiers hide behind sandbags to protect themselves. Sandbags can also protect buildings from the shock wave of bombs.
What are facts about the bow and arrow?
Back in the 1950's there was a TV program called, "You Asked For It." A program in which a person could write in with a question, and these fellas would try to answer it for the individual on television. So a young man wrote in, "what was more powerful, penetrating wise; an arrow or a bullet? The men at "You Asked For It", tied a sand bag (a bag full of sand) to a tree limb and fired an arrow at it. The arrow went thru and kept on going. Then they fired a pistol bullet into the suspended sand bag; the bullet stopped inside the bag; and they recovered the bullet and showed a close up for the viewers watching the show. Naturally of course, these ballistic type tests will always have different outcomes, based upon the make-up, type of metal, shape of bullet, speed of bullet, distance (range) from target, etc. etc. But generally (w/o getting into the particulars) an arrow penetrates and a bullet expands (even a full metal jacketed bullet will mushroom) thus stopping inside the impact area.
How big a sandbag is required to stop a 9mm bullet?
About 6 inches of sand.
Why did roger and maurice destroy the sand castle?
Roger and Maurice destroyed the sand castle out of a desire to exert power and control over the littluns, showing their inclination towards mischief and bullying.
What are 2 similes in Lobs girl by joan aiken?
Ran like a sand colored bullet
If sand is rubbed together what is the source of the energy which heats the sand?
Friction.
How is heat transferred to the sand on a beach?
The energy from the Sun adds energy to the molecules of the outermost layer of sand, which radiates infrared energy and also conducts thermal energy down into the sand.
What movie and television projects has Bullet the Dog been in?

Would it take more wave energy to deposit the sand or the rocks on the beach?
Sand. It takes thousands of years for a rock to turn into sand.
