A. Low frequency .

____________________________________________________________

Explanation:

Place theory is a theory of hearing which declares that our judgment of sound depends on where each element frequency generates oscillations along the basilar layer. According to the frequency theory, the pulse rate of the nerve vibrations of the hearing nerve communicates to the rate of a pitch, which enables us to identify its pitch. The complete basilar layer is stimulated by sound waves at various frequencies.

The answer is : Low frequency sounds

place theory is a theory of hearing which states that our perception of sound depends on where each component frequency produces vibrations along basilar membrane, which is very sensitive to low frequency sound

What is negative acceleration?

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

An object which moves in the positive direction has a positive velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).

A mercury thermometer has a glass bulb of interior volume 0.100 cm3 at 10°c. the glass capillary 10) tube above the bulb has an

Nadya [2.5K]

Initial volume of mercury is
V = 0.1 cm³

The temperature rise is 35 - 5 = 30 ⁰C = 30 ⁰K.

Because the coefficient of volume expansion is 1.8x10⁻⁴ 1/K, the change in volume of the mercury is
ΔV = (1.8x10⁻⁴ 1/K)*(30 ⁰K)(0.1 cm³) = 5.4x10⁻⁴ cm³

The cross sectional area of the tube is
A = 0.012 mm² = (0.012x10⁻² cm²).
Therefore the rise of mercury in the tube is
h = ΔV/A
= (5.4x10⁻⁴ cm³)/(0.012x10⁻² cm²)
= 4.5 cm

Answer: 4.5 cm

The spacing between the plates of a 1.0 μF capacitor is 0.050 mm. a) What is the surface area of the plates? b) How much charge

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

(a) surface area of the plate will be equal to $1.129m^2$

(b) Charge on the capacitor is equal to $1.5\times 10^{-6}C$

Explanation:

We have given spacing between the plates d = 0.05 mm = $5\times 10^{-5}m$

Value of capacitance $C=1\mu F=10^{-6}F$

(A) Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is equal to $C=\frac{\epsilon _0A}{d}$

So $10^{-6}=\frac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times A}{10^{-5}}$

$A=1.129m^2$

So surface area of the plate will be equal to $1.129m^2$

(B) It is given that capacitor is charged by 1.5 volt

So voltage V = 1.5 volt

Charge on the capacitor is equal to $Q=CV$

So $Q=1.5\times 10^{-6}C$

Suppose that an asteroid traveling straight toward the center of the earth were to collide with our planet at the equator and bu

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{10}$ M

Explanation:

To apply the concept of angular momentum conservation, there should be no external torque before and after

As the asteroid is travelling directly towards the center of the Earth, after impact ,it does not impose any torque on earth's rotation, So angular momentum of earth is conserved

⇒ $I_{1} \times W_{1} =I_{2} \times W_{2}$

$I_{1}$ is the moment of interia of earth before impact
$W_{1}$ is the angular velocity of earth about an axis passing through the center of earth before impact
$I_{2}$ is moment of interia of earth and asteroid system
$W_{2}$ is the angular velocity of earth and asteroid system about the same axis

let $W_{1}=W$

since $\text{Time period of rotation}∝$ $\frac{1}{\text{Angular velocity}}$

⇒ if time period is to increase by 25%, which is $\frac{5}{4}$ times, the angular velocity decreases 25% which is $\frac{4}{5}$ times

therefore $W_{1}$ $=$ $\frac{4}{5} \times W_{1}$

$I_{1}=\frac{2}{5} \times M\times R^{2}$ (moment of inertia of solid sphere)

where M is mass of earth

R is radius of earth

$I_{2}=\frac{2}{5} \times M\times R^{2}+M_{1}\times R^{2}$

(As given asteroid is very small compared to earth, we assume it be a particle compared to earth, therefore by parallel axis theorem we find its moment of inertia with respect to axis)

where $M_{1}$ is mass of asteroid
