You did not define "size", therefore it is not possible to give a straight answer. "Heat" is energy, therefore it is proportional to the energy "stored" in the vibrations, which is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the vibrations (among other things).

Particle pollution is elevated in summer. It is due to the heat.


How does a greater change in temperature relate to a higher evaporation rate?

Yes, but only if the change is an increase; more heat = faster evaporation.


What are the main factys of conduction?

Thermal conduction is the transfer of heat energy through particles in contact with one another. Because heat energy is essentially kinetic energy, the particle with more kinetic energy collides with the particle with less kinetic energy, speeding it up and therefore causing it to absorb some of the heat energy from the first particle.

"Cold" is a relative term, like "high" or "fast". It does exist as a qualitative term but only for comparison. It doesn't exist as a concrete object.


What part of a car loses the most energy?

The Engine. Internal Combustion Engines are only about one third efficient, meaning only one third of the energy is put to work moving the car. The rest is lost in heat, sound, and vibrations.

When a transverse wave moves through matter the matter moves in the same direction as the wave true or false?

When a wave propagation takes place in a material medium no particle of the medium moves along with the wave. Only the partciles of the medium make vibrations or oscillations. These are of two type One if the particles vibrate simple harmonically in the direction of propagation then it is said to be LONGITUDINAL If the vibrations are perpendicular to the direction of porpagation then it will be said to be TRANSVERSE


What is it called when Heat travels through solid?

It may be called conduction, or heat transfer since heat only travels from an object to another if it contains a lower amount of heat.
