Answer:

The  frequencies are (f, f_1) =  (6615.4 \ Hz , 19846.2\ Hz)

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  length of the ear canal is  l = 1.3 \ cm  =\frac{1.3}{100}  =  0.013 \ m

   The  speed of sound is assumed to be  v_s  =  344 \ m/s

Now  taking look at a typical  ear canal  we see that we assume it is  a  closed pipe

   Now the fundamental harmonics for the pipe(ear canal) is mathematically represented as

            f = \frac{v_s}{4 * l }

 substituting values  

          f = \frac{344}{4 * 0.013 }

         f = 6615.4 \ Hz

Also the the second harmonic for the pipe (ear canal) is mathematically represented as

        f_1 =  \frac{3v_s}{4 * l}

 substituting values  

       f_1 =  \frac{3 *  344}{4 * 0.013}

       f_1 =   19846.2 \ Hz

Given that sound would be loudest in the pipe at the frequency, it implies that the child  will have an increased audible sensitivity at this  frequencies

A glass flask whose volume is 1000 cm^3 at a temperature of 1.00°C is completely filled with mercury at the same temperature. W
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

the coefficient of volume expansion of the glass is \mathbf{  ( \beta_{glass} )= 1.333 *10^{-5} / K}

Explanation:

Given that:

Initial volume of the glass flask = 1000 cm³ = 10⁻³ m³

temperature of the glass flask and mercury= 1.00° C

After heat is applied ; the final temperature = 52.00° C

Temperature change ΔT = 52.00° C - 1.00° C = 51.00° C

Volume of the mercury overflow = 8.50 cm^3 = 8.50 ×  10⁻⁶ m³

the coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is 1.80 × 10⁻⁴ / K

The increase in the volume of the mercury =  10⁻³ m³ ×  51.00 × 1.80 × 10⁻⁴

The increase in the volume of the mercury = 9.18*10^{-6} \ m^3

Increase in volume of the glass =  10⁻³ × 51.00 × \beta _{glass}

Now; the mercury overflow = Increase in volume of the mercury - increase in the volume of the flask

the mercury overflow = (9.18*10^{-6}  -  51.00* \beta_{glass}*10^{-3})\ m^3

8.50*10^{-6} = (9.18*10^{-6}  -51.00* \beta_{glass}* 10^{-3} )\ m^3

8.50*10^{-6} - 9.18*10^{-6} = ( -51.00* \beta_{glass}* 10^{-3} )\ m^3

-6.8*10^{-7} =  ( -51.00* \beta_{glass}* 10^{-3} )\ m^3

6.8*10^{-7} =  ( 51.00* \beta_{glass}* 10^{-3} )\ m^3

\dfrac{6.8*10^{-7}}{51.00 * 10^{-3}}=  ( \beta_{glass} )

\mathbf{  ( \beta_{glass} )= 1.333 *10^{-5} / K}

Thus; the coefficient of volume expansion of the glass is \mathbf{  ( \beta_{glass} )= 1.333 *10^{-5} / K}

Sonar is used to locate objects underwater by measuring the time it takes an ultrasound sound pulse to reflect back to the recei
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The floor of the ocean is 6120 m deep.

Explanation:

In order to find the depth of the ocean we need to use the speed of the ultrasonic sound 1530 m/s and the time it takes for the echo to comeback. Since the wave is transmitted by the vessel goes to the bottom of the ocean and comeback, it travels the distance between the vessel and the floor two times, so we can divide the time by two. We then have:

D = V*t/2 = 1530*8/2 = 1530*4 = 6120 m

The ability to clearly see objects at a distance but not close up is properly called ________. The ability to clearly see object
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Hyperopia

Explanation:

     In hyperopia ,people face difficulties  to see close up object , but can see object easily which are at a distance.

The main reason of hyperopia is our eyeball.When our eyeball become too  short , then light focus behind the retina. Sowe will face problem to see near object but we can see distance object easily. Hyperopia is the opposite of nearsightedness. Hyperopia can be corrected by using contact lenses.
