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

Olegator [25]

Answer:

14.1 m/s

Explanation:

From the question,

μk = a/g...................... Equation 1

Where μk = coefficient of kinetic friction, a= acceleration of the skier, g = acceleration due to gravity.

make a the subject of the equation

a = μk(g).................. Equation 2

Given: μk = 0.160, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

a = 0.16(9.8)

a = 1.568 m/s²

Using,

F = ma

Where F = force, m = mass.

Make m the subject of the equation

m = F/a................... Equation 3

m = 160/1.568

m = 102.04 kg.

Note: The work done against air resistance by the skier+ work done against friction is equal to the kinetic energy after cross the patch.

Assuming the initial velocity of the skier to be zero

Fd+mgμ = 1/2mv²........................Equation 4

Where v = speed of the skier after crossing the patch, d = distance/width of the patch.

v = √2(Fd+mgμ)/m)................ Equation 5

Given: F = 160 N, m = 102.04 kg, d = 62 m, g = 9.8 m/s, μk = 0.16

Substitute these values into equation 5

v = √[2[(160×62)+(102.04×9.8×0.16)]/102.04]

v = √197.57

v = 14.1 m/s

v = 9.86 m/s

Which of the following factors will negatively impact the rate of diffusion of a molecule?
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

A low difference in the concentration of the molecule across the media

Explanation:

Diffusion is a type of passive transport where the molecules move in the influence of concentration gradient of diffusing molecules i.e. from the higher concentration region to the lower concentration region. There are some factors which affect the rate of diffusion, these are written below -

  1. Mass of diffusing molecule - lighter molecules diffuse faster and heavier one diffuse relatively slower.
  2. Concentration gradient - rate of diffusion is higher if the difference in concentration of the diffusing particles is larger in the two regions.
  3. Distance traveled - molecules diffuse faster if they need to travel little distance during diffusion.
  4. Temperature - rate of diffusion will be greater at higher temperatures because the movement of diffusing molecules gets increased.
  5. Solvent density - rate of diffusion tend to be lower if the solvent has higher density.

Looking at these factors we can conclude that the second statement in the question tells about a negative impact regarding the diffusion because due to low difference in concentration across the two media, the rate of diffusion will be lower.
