In which part of the ear is the sound wave converted into electrical impulse
Kryger [21]
The part of the ear where the sound wave converted into electrical impulse would be the cochlea. This part is the  auditory portion of the inner ear which produces nerve impulses in response to sound vibrations. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

How much energy ( in joules ) is released when 0.06 kilograms of mercury is condensed to a liquid at the same temperature ?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

B. 17,705.1 J

Explanation:

The hear released when the mercury condenses into a liquid is given by:

Q=m \lambda_v

where

m = 0.06 kg is the mass of the mercury

\lambda_v is the latent heat of vaporization

For mercury, the latent heat of vaporization is \lambda_v = 296 kJ/kg, so the heat released during the process is:

Q=(0.06 kg)(296 kJ/kg)=17.76 kJ = 17,760 J

So, the closest option is

B. 17,705.1 J

A 5.30kg block hangs from a spring with a spring constant 1700 N/m. The block is pulled down 4.50cm from the equilibrium positio
Andru [333]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the frequency in a spring, the conservation of energy and the total mechanical energy in the body (kinetic or potential as the case may be)

PART A) By definition the frequency in a spring is given by the equation

f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

Where,

m = mass

k = spring constant

Our values are,

k=1700N/m

m=5.3 kg

Replacing,

f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{1700}{5.3}}

f=2.85 Hz

PART B) To solve this section it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy both potential (simple harmonic) and kinetic in the spring.

\frac{1}{2}kA^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2} kY^2

Where,

k = Spring constant

m = mass

y = Vertical compression

v = Velocity

This expression is equivalent to,

kA^2 =mV^2 +ky^2

Our values are given as,

k=1700 N/m

V=1.70 m/s

y=0.045m

m=5.3 kg

Replacing we have,

1700*A^2=5.3*1.7^2 +1700*(0.045)^2

Solving for A,

A^2 = \frac{5.3*1.7^2 +1700*(0.045)^2}{1700}

A ^2 = 0.011035

A=0.105 m \approx 10.5 cm

PART C) Finally, the total mechanical energy is given by the equation

E = \frac{1}{2}kA^2

E=\frac{1}{2}1700*(0.105)^2

E= 9.3712 J
