Answer:

True...

Explanation:

When these high amplitude vibrations impinge upon the eardrum, they produce a very forceful displacement of the eardrum from its rest position. The ear's ability to do this allows us to perceive the pitch of sounds by detection of the wave's frequencies, the loudness of sound by detection of the wave's ...

When the sound waves hit your eardrum, they cause it to vibrate—the same way that a real drum vibrates when you hit it with a drumstick. The vibrations in your eardrum are then transferred via three tiny bones inside your ear into a fluid-filled chamber called the cochlea (pronounced KOK-lee-uh).

Answer:

True: For a sound wave to propagate, air particles must be displaced in the direction of propagation - it is the displacement of these particles that causes the eardrum to vibrate and recognize the sound.

MAXImum [283]

Answer:21.18 m

Explanation:

Given

initial speed u=10 m/s

height of building h=22 m

time taken to complete 22 m

$h=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

initial vertical velocity =0

$22=\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{22\times 2}{g}}$

$t=2.11 s$

Horizontal Distance moved

$R=u_x\times t$

$R=10\times 2.11$

$R=21.18 m$

An 7.5 × binocular has 3.7-cm-focal-length eyepieces. What is the focal length of the objective lenses? Express your answer to t

elixir [45]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept of magnification, which is given as the relationship between the focal length of the eyepieces and the focal length of the objective. This relationship can be expressed mathematically as,

$\mu = \frac{f_0}{f_e}$

Here,

$\mu$ = Magnification

$f_e$ = Focal length eyepieces

$f_0$ = Focal length of the Objective

Rearranging to find the focal length of the objective

$f_0 = \mu f_e$

Replacing with our values

$f_0 = 7.5* 3.7cm$

$f_0 = 27.75cm$

Therefore the focal length of th eobjective lenses is 27.75cm

A train, traveling at a constant speed of 22.0 m/s, comes to an incline with a constant slope. While going up the incline, the t

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

123.30 m

Explanation:

Given

Speed, u = 22 m/s

acceleration, a = 1.40 m/s²

time, t = 7.30 s

From equation of motion,

v = u + at

where,

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is time

V = at + U

using equation v - u = at to get line equation for the graph of the motion of the train on the incline plane

$V_{x} = mt + V_{o}$ where m is the slope

Comparing equation (1) and (2)

$V = V_{x}$

a = m

$U = V_{o}$

Since the train slows down with a constant acceleration of magnitude 1.40 m/s² when going up the incline plane. This implies the train is decelerating. Therefore, the train is experiencing negative acceleration.

a = - 1.40 m/s²

Sunstituting a = - 1.40 m/s² and u = 22 m/s

$V_{x} = -1.40t + 22$

$V_{x} = -1.40(7.30) + 22$

$V_{x} = -10.22 + 22$

$V_{x} = 11. 78 m/s$

The speed of the train at 7.30 s is 11.78 m/s.

The distance traveled after 7.30 sec on the incline is the area cover on the incline under the specific interval.

Area of triangle + Area of rectangle

$[\frac{1}{2} * (22 - 11.78) * (7.30)] + [(11.78 - 0) * (7.30)]$

= 37.303 + 85.994

= 123. 297 m

≈ 123. 30 m

qwelly [4]

Answer:

B. The number of electrons emitted from the metal per second increases.

Explanation:

Light consists of photons . Energy of each photon depends upon frequency of light . The increase in intensity increases the number of photons . It does not increase energy of photons .

So if a high intensity light falls on a photosensitive plate , each photon ejects one electron . So number of electrons increases if we increase intensity of photon. It does not increase kinetic energy of ejected electrons . Work function depends upon the nature of plate.

What is an electric load ?write with example

Ganezh [65]

Explanation:

an electrical load is the part of an electrical circuit in which current is transformed into something useful. examples include a lightbulb, a resistor and a motor. a load converts electricity into heat, light or motion. put another way, the part of a circuit that connects to a well-defined output terminal is considered an electrical load.
