Sound enters the ear, travels through the auditory canal, and reaches the eardrum. The auditory canal is approximately a tube op

en at only one end. The other end is closed by the eardrum. A typical length for the auditory canal in an adult is about 3.1 cm. The speed of sound is 336 m/s. What is the fundamental frequency of the canal

Answer:

The fundamental frequency of can is 2.7 kHz.                          

Explanation:

Given that,

A typical length for the auditory canal in an adult is about 3.1 cm, l = 3.1 cm

The speed of sound is, v = 336 m/s

We need to find the fundamental frequency of the canal. For a tube open at only one end, the fundamental frequency is given by :

f=\dfrac{v}{4l}\\\\f=\dfrac{336}{4\times 3.1\times 10^{-2}}\\\\f=2709.67\ Hz\\\\f=2.7\ kHz

So, the fundamental frequency of can is 2.7 kHz. Hence, this is the required solution.

21) A youngster having a mass of 50.0 kg steps off a 1.00 m high platform. If she keeps her legs fairly rigid and comes to rest
zlopas [31]

Answer:

-22,150 N

Explanation:

When the youngster jumps off the platform, during the fall her initial potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, according to the law of conservation of energy. Therefore, we can write:

mgh=\frac{1}{2}mu^2

where the term on the left is the potential energy while the term on the right is the kinetic energy, and where

m = 50.0 kg is the mass of the youngster

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h = 1.00 m is the heigth of the platform

u is the speed of the youngster as she reaches the floor

Solving for u,

u=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(1.00)}=4.43 m/s

Then, when the youngster hits the floor, the force exerted on her during the deceleration is given by:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}

where \Delta p is her change in momentum, and where

m is the mass

v = 0 is the final velocity (she comes to a stop)

u = 4.43 m/s is the initial velocity

\Delta t=10.0 ms =0.010 s is the duration of the collision

Substituting,

F=\frac{(50.0)(0-4.43)}{0.010}=-22150 N

And the negative sign means the direction of the force is opposite to the motion (so, upward).

Under what circumstances can energy level transitions occur?
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Energy transition therefore occurs due to the amount of kinetic energy gained by the electrons. The electrons with higher kinetic energy are excited to the higher level (excited state) compare to the electron with low kinetic energy (this energy are energy in the ground state)

Explanation:

Energy level transition occur when light rays strikes a metal surface to emit electron from the surface, a term known as photoelectric effect. This amount of electron emitted from the surface depends on the speed of light ray striking the metal surface.

Energy transition therefore occurs due to the amount of kinetic energy gained by the electrons. The electrons with higher kinetic energy are excited to the higher level (excited state) compare to the electron with low kinetic energy (this energy are energy in the ground state)

In a two-body collision, if the momentum of the system is conserved, then which of the
lakkis [162]

Answer:

c) may also be conserved

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved  in both elastic and inelastic type of collisions.

But the differences is that:

In an ELASTIC type of collisions, KINETIC ENERGY IS ALSO CONSERVED.

whereas, In an INELASTIC type of collision, KINETIC ENERGY IS NOT CONSERVED.

So unless until type of collision is specified, we can not say anything about the conservation of kinetic energy after collision.

Hence, may also be conserved is the appropriate option here.
