What is the explanation for the pattern of granulation seen on the visible surface of the Sun?
a. The granules form the base of a circulation pattern that extends from the photosphere to the outer corona. b. The granules are regions of nuclear energy generation in the Sun's photosphere. c. Each granule contains a strong magnetic field, which compresses and heats the gas underneath it. d. The granules are the tops of hot gas that have risen from the Sun's convective zone.

A 1.0-kg ball is attached to the end of a 2.5-m string to form a pendulum. This pendulum is released from rest with the string horizontal. At the lowest point in its swing when it is moving horizontally, the ball collides elastically with a 2.0-kg block initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. What is the speed of the block just after the collision?
a. 2.3 m/s b. 4.7 m/s c. 3.5 m/s d. 3.0 m/s e. 7.0 m/s
