Explanation:

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact. Whereas convection is the transfer of heat through the currents which generate by warming or cooling of liquids or gases.

On the other hand, radiation is the direct transfer of electromagnetic waves in the form of heat through the space.

Therefore, when you hold a mug of hot chocolate to warm your hands then due to the direct contact with the mug your hands get warmer.

Hence, this transfer of heat is through the process of conduction.

By what factor must the amplitude of a sound wave be decreased in order to decrease the intensity by a factor of 3?

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Amplitude is decreased by a factor of $\sqrt3$ if intensity is decreased by a factor of 3.

Explanation:

Intensity of a sound wave is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude.

Therefore, if intensity is $I$ and amplitude is $A$ , then

$I=kA^2$ , where, $k$ is constant of proportionality.

Now, if intensity of sound wave is decreased by a factor of 3. So,

New intensity is, $I_{new}=\frac{I}{3}$

$I_{new}=kA_{new}^2\\\frac{I}{3}=kA_{new}^2$

Plug in $kA^2$ for $I$ . This gives,

$\frac{kA^2}{3}=kA_{new}^2\\A_{new}^2=\frac{A^2}{3}\\A_{new}=\sqrt{\frac{A^2}{3}}=\frac{A}{\sqrt{3}}$

Therefore, amplitude is decreased by a factor of $\sqrt3$ .

Answer:

All of the arrows pointing up that have a red box NOT the arrow pointing down with a red box. (if the blue squigglies on the water are arrows then they count too, the picture is not too clear)

The hairdryer has a plastic case so there is no need for an earth wire connection in the plug.

Gravitational attraction / field strength increases when closer; A light dependent resistor (LDR) can be used as a sensor to detect light intensity.
