A newly furnished room is likely to be more sparsely furnished, as clutter has yet to be introduced to the space. This means there will be more hard surfaces from which sound can bounce. This creates a noisier environment. The addition of throws, drapes, cushions, even tapestries will reduce reverberation.
Answer:
To reduce pressure - decrease the force or increase the area the force acts on. If you were standing on a frozen lake and the ice started to crack you could lie down to increase the area in contact with the ice. The same force (your weight) would apply, spread over a larger area, so the pressure would reduce.
The only evidence you have that you exist as a self-aware being is your conscious experience of thinking about your existence. Beyond that you're on your own. You cannot access anyone else's conscious thoughts, so you will never know if they are self-aware.
How fast a car goes is known as its speed.
Speed = (distance covered) divided by (time to cover the distance)
It has nothing to do with the direction the car is going.
______________________________________
The car's velocity is its speed AND the direction it's going.
30 miles per hour . . . speed
40 miles per hour north . . . velocity
20 miles per hour south
20 miles per hour west . . . . . same speed, different velocity
-- 'Velocity' is NOT a big word that you use when you mean
'speed' but you want to sound smarter. It's a different thing.
-- If you don't know anything about the direction the car is going,
then you can't say anything about its velocity.
-- If the car is going around a curve, then its velocity is constantly
changing, even if its speed is constant.
