The ear is divided into three parts that are: The outer ear, the inner ear and the middle ear.

The outer ear and the middle ear collects and transmits the sound waves but it is the inner ear which converts sound waves into an electrical impulse as the inner ear consists of cochlea which is a snail shaped organ, lined with delicate cilia which is responsible for converting the sound waves to electrical impulse.

When the vibration is received from the middle ear, the vibrations of these cilia is converted to nerve impulses which are transmitted by auditory nerve to the brain for the interpretation as the sound.

That's in the cochlea, in the inner ear.

Which is not a simple harmonic motion (S.H.M.) (a) Simple Pendulum (b) Projectile motion (c) None (d) Spring motion

Scrat [10]

Answer:

b) Projectile MOTION

Explanation:

SHM is periodic motion or to and fro motion of a particle about its mean position in a straight line

In this type of motion particle must be in straight line motion

So here we can say

a) Simple Pendulum : it is a straight line to and fro motion about mean position so it is a SHM

b) Projectile motion : it is a parabolic path in which object do not move to and fro about its mean position So it is not SHM

d) Spring Motion : it is a straight line to and fro motion so it is also a SHM

So correct answer will be

b) Projectile MOTION

A torque of 36.5 N · m is applied to an initially motionless wheel which rotates around a fixed axis. This torque is the result

vivado [14]

Answer:

$21.6\ \text{kg m}^2$

$3.672\ \text{Nm}$

$54.66\ \text{revolutions}$

Explanation:

$\tau$ = Torque = 36.5 Nm

$\omega_i$ = Initial angular velocity = 0

$\omega_f$ = Final angular velocity = 10.3 rad/s

t = Time = 6.1 s

I = Moment of inertia

From the kinematic equations of linear motion we have

$\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha_1 t\\\Rightarrow \alpha_1=\dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\\\Rightarrow \alpha_1=\dfrac{10.3-0}{6.1}\\\Rightarrow \alpha_1=1.69\ \text{rad/s}^2$

Torque is given by

$\tau=I\alpha_1\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{\tau}{\alpha_1}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{36.5}{1.69}\\\Rightarrow I=21.6\ \text{kg m}^2$

The wheel's moment of inertia is $21.6\ \text{kg m}^2$

t = 60.6 s

$\omega_i$ = 10.3 rad/s

$\omega_f$ = 0

$\alpha_2=\dfrac{0-10.3}{60.6}\\\Rightarrow \alpha_1=-0.17\ \text{rad/s}^2$

Frictional torque is given by

$\tau_f=I\alpha_2\\\Rightarrow \tau_f=21.6\times -0.17\\\Rightarrow \tau=-3.672\ \text{Nm}$

The magnitude of the torque caused by friction is $3.672\ \text{Nm}$

Speeding up

$\theta_1=0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.69\times 6.1^2\\\Rightarrow \theta_1=31.44\ \text{rad}$

Slowing down

$\theta_2=10.3\times 60.6+\dfrac{1}{2}\times (-0.17)\times 60.6^2\\\Rightarrow \theta_2=312.03\ \text{rad}$

Total number of revolutions

$\theta=\theta_1+\theta_2\\\Rightarrow \theta=31.44+312.03=343.47\ \text{rad}$

$\dfrac{343.47}{2\pi}=54.66\ \text{revolutions}$

The total number of revolutions the wheel goes through is $54.66\ \text{revolutions}$ .

A wedge with an inclination of angle θ rests next to a wall. A block of mass m is sliding down the plane. There is no friction b

Softa [21]

Answer:

The net force on the block F(net) = mgsinθ).

Fw =mg(cosθ)(sinθ)

Explanation:

(a)

Here, m is the mass of the block, n is the normal force, \thetaθ is the wedge angle, and Fw is the force exerted by the wall on the wedge.

Since the block sliding down, the net force on the block is along the plane of the wedge that is equal to horizontal component of weight of the block.

F(net) = mgsinθ

The net force on the block F(net) = mgsinθ).

The direction of motion of the block is along the direction of net force acting on the block. Since there is no frictional force between the wedge and block, the only force acting on the block along the direction of motion is mgsinθ.

(b)

From the free body diagram, the normal force n is equal to mgcosθ .

n=mgcosθ

The horizontal component of normal force on the block is equal to force

Fw=n*sin(θ) that exerted by the wall on the wedge.

Substitute mgcosθ for n in the above equation;

Fw =mg(cosθ)(sinθ)

Since, there is no friction between the wedge and the wall, there is component force acting on the wall to restrict the motion of the wedge on the surface and that force is arises from the horizontal component for normal force on the block.

Use the mass spectrum of europium to determine the atomic mass of europium. where the peak representing eu-151 has an exact mass

slavikrds [6]

Answer: The atomic mass of a Europium atom is 151.96445 amu.

From the given information:

Percent intensity is 91.61% of Europium atom of molecular weight 150.91986 amu.

Percent intensity is 100.00% of Europium atom of molecular weight 152.92138 amu.

Abundance of Eu-151 atom:

$X_{Eu-151}=\frac{0.9161}{0.9161+1.000}=0.4781$
