The diagram shows waves of sound travelling through the air. An illustration of a point labeled sound source with concentric circles spreading out from it. Every other circle is 1 more meter away from the source. The sound source is 270 decibels.
By which factor is the sound intensity decreased at 3 meters?

Several processes form metal ore. match each process to its description. volcanic activity weathering hydrothermal energy rocks break down as they interact with air and water. arrowright density differences and other factors cause metals to concentrate in igneous rocks. arrowright seawater heats up from contact with hot rock, and metals dissolve in it. the water rises and contacts cooler water, causing metal ores to settle on the ocean floor. arrowright

(2) (a) you have a simple circuit that consists of only a battery (δvbat=1.5v) and two resistors with resistance r1=10ω and r2=5ω, connected in series with each other. what is the current running through the battery? (b) you re-arrange your circuit so now r2 is attached in parallel to r1 rather than in series. what is the current running through the battery? (c) you add an additional resistor r3=7ω on the same branch as r2. what is the current running through the battery? (d) what is the power dissipated in r3?

Asteel tube (k=50 w/mk) of inner and outer diameter di = 20mm and do=26mm, respectively, is used to transfer heat from hot gases flowing over the tube (h-hot = 200w/m2k) to cold water flowing through the tube (h-cold = 8000 w/m2k). what is the cold-side overall heat transfer coefficient uc? to enhance heat transfer 16 straight fins of rectangular profile are installed longitudinally along the outer surface of the tube. the fins are equally spaced around the circumference of the tube, each having a thickness of 2mm and a length of 15mm. what is the corresponding overall heat transfer coefficient uc? *solve for uc in both cases*
