The amplitude is the maximum displacement of the wave.
So the question is False. B.
Conduction has to be touching the two objects. Convection is not direct.
Answer:
1.19cm^3 of glycerine
Explanation:
Let Vo= 150cm^3 for both aluminum and glycerine, using expansion formula:
Volume of spill glycerine = change in volume of glycerine - change in volume of aluminum
Volume of glycerine = coefficient of volume expansion of glycerine * Vo* change in temperature - coefficient of volume expansion of Aluminum*Vo* change temperature
coefficient of volume expansion of aluminum = coefficient of linear expansion of aluminum*3 = 23*10^-6 * 3 = 0.69*10^-4 oC^-1
Change in temperature = 41-23 = 18oC
Volume of glycerine that spill = (5.1*10^-4) - (0.69*10^-4) (150*18) = 4.41*10^-4*2700 = 1.19cm3
The easiest way to explain it is roughly identical to the way that your teacher explained it in class. If there were any easier way ... like writing it here in a few paragraphs ... then that's what the teacher would have done. You would have been given the easy explanation on the first day of class, printed on one sheet of paper, and you would have had the rest of the year to practice it and get really good at it.
If the class spent a month teaching it, then that's about how long it takes. Sorry.
