Answer:

Frequency determines the pitch we perceive. Amplitude determines the volume, and loudness perceived (see more detail below)

Explanation:

A most fundamental wave shape is the sine (or cosine). A sine wave has three parameters: (1) frequency, (2) phase, and (3) amplitude. Out of the three, two play a role in your question, as follows.

The frequency, namely the number of periods (repetitions) per second, is perceived by our ear of "the pitch." The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch. However, our ears perceive pitch as a logarithm of the physical frequency. Every doubling of the frequency causes us to hear the pitch to increase by one octave.

The volume is determined by the amplitude of the wave. The higher the amplitude (positive or negative) the higher the volume. Our ears perceive volume as "loudness" and, again, not linearly - some frequencies are perceived as louder than others, even though they have the same physical volume. Frequencies between about 200 and 2000 Hz are perceived as louder than the rest of the audible spectrum (between 20 and 20000 Hz).

Interestingly, the phase does not play all too prominent role in perception, at least as far as music and speech are concerned.

Since the parity of charges is opposite and the airplane lies between the two charges and both the electric fields are in the same direction at the plane. Therefore, the magnitudes of the electric field at the aircrafts will add up.

A 500-Ω resistor, an uncharged 1.50-μF capacitor, and a 6.16-V emf are connected in series. (a) What is the initial current? (b)
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

a) 0.01232 A

b) 0.00075 s = 0.75 ms

c) 0.0045323 A = 4.532 mA

d) 3.894 V

Explanation:

R = 500 Ω

V = 6.16 V

C = 1.50 μF

Let Vs be the voltage of the emf source

Let Vc be the voltage across the capacitor at any time

a) Current flows as a result of potential difference between two points. So, the current flows according to difference in voltage between the emf source and the capacitor.

At time t = 0,

There is no voltage on the capacitor; Vc = 0 V

Current in the circuit is given by

I = (Vs - Vc)/R

I = (6.16 - 0)/500

I = 0.01232 A

b) Time constant for an RC circuit is given by τ

τ = RC = (500) (1.5 × 10⁻⁶) = 0.00075 s

c) The current decay in an RC circuit (called decay because the current in the circuit starts to fall as the capacitor's voltage rises as the capacitor charges) is given by

I = I₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ

where k = (1/τ)

I₀ = Current in the circuit at t = 0 s; I₀ = 0.01232 A

At t = τ = 0.00075 s, kt = (τ/τ) = 1

I = 0.01232 e⁻¹ = 0.0045323 A = 4.532 mA

d) The voltage for a charging capacitor is given by

Vc = Vs (1 - e⁻ᵏᵗ)

where k = (1/τ)

At t = τ = 0.00075 s, Vc = ?, Vs = 6.16 V, kt = 1

Vc = 6.16 (1 - e⁻¹) = 6.16 (0.6321)

Vc = 3.894 V

Describe the main distinguishing features of spiral, elliptical, and irregular galaxies.
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Spiral galaxies consist of a flat, rotating disk of stars, gas and dust, and a central concentration of stars known as the bulge. These are surrounded by a much fainter halo of stars, many of which reside in globular clusters.

Elliptical galaxies have smooth, featureless light-profiles and range in shape from nearly spherical to highly flattened, and in size from hundreds of millions to over one trillion stars. In the outer regions, many stars are grouped into globular clusters. Most elliptical galaxies are composed of older, low-mass stars, with a sparse interstellar medium and minimal star formation activity They are often chaotic in appearance, with neither a nuclear bulge nor any trace of spiral arm structure. Collectively they are thought to make up about a quarter of all galaxies.

irregular galaxies were once spiral or elliptical galaxies but were deformed by gravitational action. they are shapeless.

Which is a negative effect of deforestation on the environment? A. habitat restoration B. desertification C. soil production D.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:Deforestation refers to the decrease in forest areas across the world that are lost for other uses such as agricultural croplands, urbanization, or mining activities. Greatly accelerated by human activities since 1960, deforestation has been negatively affecting natural ecosystems, biodiversity, and the climate. The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization estimates the annual rate of deforestation to be around 1.3 million km2 per decade.
