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.

A 5.00 kg crate is on a 21.0 degree hill. Using X-Y axes tilted down the plane, what is the y-component of the normal force?

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

The y-component of the normal force is 45.74 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the crate, m = 5 kg

Angle with hill, $\theta=21^{\circ}$

We need to find the y component of the normal force. We know that the y component of the normal force is given by :

$F_y=F\ \cos\theta\\\\F_y=mg\ \cos\theta\\\\F_y=5\times 9.8\ \cos(21)\\\\F_y=45.74\ N$

So, the y-component of the normal force is 45.74 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Marvin Martian is standing on planet Potatoine.

prisoha [69]

Answer:

W = 113.98 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of Potatoine $R=6.4\times 10^6\ m$

Mass of Potatoine, $M=2\times 10^{24}\ kg$

Mass of Marvin, m = 35 kg

We need to find his weight on Potatoine. Weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

g is acceleration due to gravity, $g=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}$

So,

$W=\dfrac{GMm}{R^2}\\\\W=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 35\times 2\times 10^{24}}{(6.4\times 10^6)^2}\\\\W=113.98\ N$

So, his weight on Potatoine is 113.98 N.

A softball is thrown from the origin of an X-Y coordinate system with an initial speed of 18 m/s at an angle of 35 degrees above

Goshia [24]

Vo = 18 m/s
angle 35 degrees

1) Components of the initial velocity

Vox = Vo*cos(35) = 18*cos(35) m/s = 14.74 m/s
Voy = Vo* sin(35) = 18*sin(35) m/s = 10.32 m/s

2) Equations of postion:

x = Vox*t
y = Voy*t - gt^2 / 2

3) Calculations

A) t = 0.5 s, t = 1.0 st = 1.5 s, t = 2.0 s

x = 14.74 * t

t = 0.5 s => x = 14.74 m/s * 0.5s = 7.37 m

t = 1.0 s => x = 14.74 m/s * 1.0s = 14.74 m

t = 1.5s => x = 22.11 m

t = 2s => x = 29.48 m

B)

y = Voy*t - gt^2 / 2

Voy = 10.32 m/s
g = 10 m/s (approximation)

y = 10.32*t - 5t^2

t = 0.5 s=> y = 3.91m

t = 1 s => y = 5.32m

t = 1.5 s => y = 4.23m

t = 2 s => y = 0.64 m
