The height above the ground from where the skier start is 11.5 m.

<h3>Conservation of energy</h3>

The height above the ground from where the skier start is determined by applying the principle of conservation of energy as shown below;

P.E = K.E

mgh = ¹/₂mv²

gh = ¹/₂v²

$h = \frac{v^2}{2g} \\\\h = \frac{15^2}{2 \times 9.8} \\\\h = 11.5 \ m$

Thus, the height above the ground from where the skier start is 11.5 m.

Radiation: Getting sunburnt on a beach.
- The sun’s radiation (no direct contact) is what causes the skin to burn.
Radiation: Microwave cooking food
- Microwaves use radiation to heat the food inside of it; between radio waves and infrared radiation on the electromagnetic spectrum
Conduction: Touching a hot car seat in the summer
- Conduction is the transfer of heat by direct contact (hand to seat).
Conduction: Burning yourself with a curling iron (Similar to above; direct contact).

Convection: An ocean breeze
- Convection near coastlines cause the transfer of energy; water warms and cools slower than land.
Conduction: Sliding down a hot metal slide in august
- You are in direct contact with the slide, which is hot due to the temperature.
Convection: Water in a boiling pot of macaroni
- The water, a liquid, is being heated by molecular motion.
Convection: Currents deep within the earth that cause tectonic plates to move
- Convection currents drive the movement of tectonic plates in the mantle, which is fluid/molten. The currents circulate under the asthenosphere.

Answer:

Explanation:

To convert gram / centimeter³ to kg / m³

gram / centimeter³

= 10⁻³ kg / centimeter³

= 10⁻³ / (10⁻²)³ kg / m³

= 10⁻³ / 10⁻⁶ kg / m³

= 10⁻³⁺⁶ kg / m³

= 10³ kg / m³

So we shall have to multiply be 10³ with amount in gm / cm³ to convert it into kg/m³

2.33 gram / cm³

= 2.33 x 10³ kg / m³ .

While playing her guitar , karen plucks one string with increasing levels of force. What effect does this have on the sound prod

Lena [83]

Answer:

The amplitude of vibration of string will increase due to which loudness of sound will increase

Explanation:

As we know that the guitar is based on the principle of Resonance. When string of the guitar vibrates at a given frequency then the sound produced in the hollow part of the guitar will also be at same frequency.

This is known as resonance condition, so guitar will produce same frequency sound as that of frequency of string.

Now if the string is plucked with increasing level of force then it will increase the amplitude of vibrations of the string due to which the sound produced in the guitar will also be of same level.

So here we can say that amplitude and intensity of sound related as

$I = kA^2$

so on increasing amplitude the intensity will increase and hence it will produce loud sound
