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

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

47 kJoules (kJ)

Explanation:

Potential enegy on Earth is given by the relationship:

P.E. = mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to Earth's gravity, and h is height. Since we are given metric values, we will look for an answer that is consistent with Joules, the metric measure of energy. 1 Joule is defined as 1 kg*m^2/s^2, so we wnat units of kg, m, and sec.

We are given:

m = 95kg

h = 50 meters

Earth's gravity, g is 9.8 m/s^2

Enter the data:

P.E. = mgh

P.E. = (95kg)(9.8m/s^2)(50m)

P.E. = 46550 kg*m^2/s^2 or 46550 Joules(J)

Since we only have 2 sig figs, and since 1kJ =- 1000J

We can state the potential energy is 47kJ.

Spiderman has 47kJ of potential energy for the start of any dive back to Earth. [He needed that same amount of energy to reach that height, but we don't know from where it came. A jump, helicopter, beamed up by Scotty, or tossed up by Doctor Octopus.]

A satellite circles the Earth in an orbit whose radius is twice the Earth’s radius. The Earth’s mass is 5.98 x 1024 kg, and its
gavmur [86]

Hello!

Recall the period of an orbit is how long it takes the satellite to make a complete orbit around the earth. Essentially, this is the same as 'time' in the distance = speed * time equation. For an orbit, we can define these quantities:

d = 2\pi r ← The circumference of the orbit

speed = orbital speed, we will solve for this later

time = period

Therefore:

T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}

Where 'r' is the orbital radius of the satellite.

First, let's solve for 'v' assuming a uniform orbit using the equation:
v = \sqrt{\frac{Gm}{r}}

G = Gravitational Constant (6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²)

m = mass of the earth (5.98 × 10²⁴ kg)

r = radius of orbit (1.276 × 10⁷ m)

Plug in the givens:
v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(5.98*10^{24})}{(1.276*10^7)}} = 5590.983 m/s

Now, we can solve for the period:

T = \frac{2\pi (1.276*10^7)}{5590.983} =\boxed{ 14339.776 s}
