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 projectile is launched diagonally into the air and has a hang time of 24.5 seconds. Approximately how much time is required fo

Rasek [7]

Answer:

$t=12.25\ seconds$

Explanation:

<u>Diagonal Launch </u>

It's referred to as a situation where an object is thrown in free air forming an angle with the horizontal. The object then describes a known path called a parabola, where there are x and y components of the speed, displacement, and acceleration.

The object will eventually reach its maximum height (apex) and then it will return to the height from which it was launched. The equation for the height at any time t is

$x=v_ocos\theta t$

$\displaystyle y=y_o+v_osin\theta \ t-\frac{gt^2}{2}$

Where vo is the magnitude of the initial velocity, $\theta$ is the angle, t is the time and g is the acceleration of gravity

The maximum height the object can reach can be computed as

$\displaystyle t=\frac{v_osin\theta}{g}$

There are two times where the value of y is $y_o$ when t=0 (at launching time) and when it goes back to the same level. We need to find that time t by making $y=y_o$

$\displaystyle y_o=y_o+v_osin\theta\ t-\frac{gt^2}{2}$

Removing $y_o$ and dividing by t (t different of zero)

$\displaystyle 0=v_osin\theta-\frac{gt}{2}$

Then we find the total flight as

$\displaystyle t=\frac{2v_osin\theta}{g}$

We can easily note the total time (hang time) is twice the maximum (apex) time, so the required time is

$\boxed{t=24.5/2=12.25\ seconds}$

If your phone needs to be on a charger for three hours to be fully charged, and the charger draws 2 amps, then how many electron

solong [7]

Answer:

Yes you can. The charging current will be the lowest of the two current ratings of device and charger. The charger and the phone have complex internal circuitry that enable this behaviour.

But using a weaker charger for your phone will only lengthen charging time. And using a stronger charger than that the phone will accept doesn't affect charging at all and only wastes money.

sergij07 [2.7K]

The correct answer is:

That the land where it specifically was has been moving and that years ago that place was under water.

Explanation:

Kansas has been the cause of some of the most luxurious fossil findings in US history. The fossil record of Kansas spans from the Cambrian to the Pleistocene. From the Cambrian to the Devonian, Kansas was coated by a shallow sea.
