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 metal wire of resistance R is cut into eight equal pieces that are then placed together side by side to form a new cable with

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

R / 64

Explanation:

Let he length of the wire is L and its resistance is R.

The resistance of the wire is directly proportional to the length of the wire. As the wire is cut into 8 equal pieces so the resistance of small wire is R/8.

Now they are connected in parallel.

The equivalent resistance is given by

$\frac{1}{R_{eq}}= 8\times \frac{8}{R}$

$R_{eq}=\frac{R}{64}$

Thus, the equivalent resistance of the new cable is R / 64.

During exercise, the amount of ____________ carried in the blood to the muscles increases.

ipn [44]

<span>The correct answer is: Oxygen

Explanation:
In order to function properly (movement etc.) during exercise, muscles require oxygen. During exercise, the depth as well as the rate of breathing increase, which in turn increases the amount of oxygen inhaled. In order to expand and contract lungs and for other bodily movements, muscles require oxygen, and for that, more oxygen is carried in the blood to muscles. Hence, the correct answer is Oxygen.</span>
