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.

A hot air balloon travels 18 kilometers west and then travels 50 kilometers east. What is the current position of the hot air ba

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

32 km east

Explanation:

In order to find the final position of the balloon, we need to calculate its total displacement.

We have:

- Displacement towards west: 18 km

- Displacement towards east: 50 km

The two vectors are on the same line: this means that we can simply add them together (taking into account the proper direction) to obtain the total displacement.

Taking east as positive direction and west as negative direction, we have:

$d = 50 + (-18) = 50 - 18 = 32 km$

And since it is positive, it means that the final position of the balloon is 32 km east from its initial position.

☆ Correct and rewrite the following statements:

il63 [147K]

Answer:

<h3>a) </h3><h3>Question:-</h3>

Rubber is a good conductor of electricity.

<h3>Answer:-</h3>

It's incorrect sentence.
As we know that, rubber are an insulators of electricity, and they do not not have free ions which can help in conducting electricity.

So correct sentence is:

Rubber is a bad conductor of electricity.

<h3>b)</h3><h3>Question:-</h3>

Electroplating wastes are useful to human health and environment.

<h3>Answer:-</h3>

It's incorrect sentence. 
As we know that, electroplating of substances releases harmful and toxic substances into the environment causing serious health issues in human, so it's waste substances released into environment can have very harmful effects.

So correct sentence is:

Electroplating wastes are harmful to human health and environment.

<h3>c)</h3><h3>Question:-</h3>

In an LED bulb, the shorter lead is connected to the positive terminal of the battery.

<h3>Answer:-</h3>

It's incorrect sentence. 
As we know that, in an LED bulb their are two terminals that is the positive and the negative. So here the lead connected to the positive terminal is always slightly longer than the lead connected to negative terminal of the bulb.

So correct sentence is:

In an LED bulb, the longer lead is connected to the positive terminal of the battery.

<h3>d)</h3><h3>Question:-</h3>

Pure water conducts electricity.

<h3>Answer:-</h3>

It's incorrect sentence. 
As we know that, pure water is a form of H2O where Hydrogen (H) is positive ion and Oxygen (O) is a negative ion which can conduct electricity when they are in individuals but as in pure water they are in combined form of compound H2O in which they become neutral and can't conduct any electricity.

So correct sentence is:

Pure water can't conduct electricity.
