Mass is based on the number of molecules contained in an object and is constant. Weight is the gravitational force acting on a mass and it depends on the local gravitational pull; e.g. object weighs less on Moon than on Earth.

Sound waves that enter the external acoustic meatus eventually encounter the __________, which then vibrates at the same frequen
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

tympanic membrane (eardrum)

Explanation:

The sound waves spread through the air and reach the outer ear, into which they penetrate through the ear canal. In doing so, they stimulate the eardrum, which closes the inner end of the duct. By vibrating this membrane, the vibration of a chain of ossicles located in the middle ear is induced. These ossicles transmit their vibration to the oval window, which is a membranous structure that communicates the middle ear with the cochlea of ​​the inner ear. When the oval membrane moves, it moves the liquid (perilymph) that fills one of the three cavities of the cochlea generating waves in it. These waves mechanically stimulate the sensory cells (hair cells) located in the organ of Corti, within the cochlea in the central cavity, the middle ramp. This cavity is filled with a liquid rich in K +, endolymph. The cells embedded in the endolymph, change their permeability to K + due to the movement of the cilia and respond by releasing a neurotransmitter that excites the nerve terminals, which initiate the auditory sensory pathway.

The graph represents the force applied on an 3.00kg crate while it moved 5.0m. A. How much total work is done on the crate? B. I
jeka57 [31]

a. We can calculate the amount of work by calculating the area under the graph.

first area (rectangular): 2.5 x 6 = 15

second area(trapezoid): 1/2 x (6+10) x 2.5 =20

total work done: 35 J

b. the force was first applied = 6 N

F = m.a

a = 6 : 3 = 2 m/s²

vf²=vi²+2as

vf²=6²+2.2.5

vf²=56

vf=7.5 m/s

What was the result of the Mexican army's victory over the Texan garrison at the Alamo?
sasho [114]

The result of the Mexican victory was that fallen defenders became heroes to the cause of Texan independence.<span> The Battle of the Alamo took place between February 23 and March 6, 1836 and became the central episode of the Texas Revolution . After this thirteen-day battle, the Mexican troops of General President Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna began an attack on San Antonio de Bexar, the current San Antonio in Texas. The Battle of the Alamo fought the army of Mexico against a group of Texan rebels, mostly American settlers. More than four thousand men from Santa Ana stood in front of the Alamo Fort , the last stronghold of the rebels, which barely reached 187. The Alamo was not a fortress prepared to withstand a siege. It is believed that all the rebels of the Alamo died in the siege, but Santa Anna came to lose up to about 900 men during the days that lasted the fight. However, the worst result for Santa Ana was precisely the resistance that the Texan rebels had in the Alamo, which fostered the fighting spirit of the Texans. A few days later, on March 14, 1836, Texas became independent from Mexico and a month later, Santa Ana was imprisoned.</span>
