The human ear is sometimes called a Fourier analyzer. What does this mean and why is it an apt description? 1. Our ears can sort

out the individual sine waves from a mixture of two or more sine waves, so we hear the pure tones that make up a complex tone. 2. Our ears measure the intensity of sound, which is just what a Fourier analyzer does. 3. Our ears can measure the speed of sound. 4. Our ears have nothing to do with a Fourier analyzer

Answer:

1. Our ears can sort out the individual sine waves from a mixture of two or more sine waves, so we hear the pure tones that make up a complex tone.

Explanation:

A complex tone is a sound wave that consist of two or more forms of audible sound frequencies. Sound wave is a mechanical wave that is longitudinal, and could be represented by a sine wave because of it sinusoidal manner of propagation.

A Fourier analyzer can be used to differentiate individual sine waves from a combination of two or more of it; which is as the same function performed by human ear. To the human ear, a sound wave that consist of more than one sine wave will have perceptible harmonics which would be distorted and turn to a noise.

Thus, the human ear makes it possible to hear the pure tones that make up a complex tone.

Answer:

1. A Fourier analyzer sorts out the individual sine waves from a mixture of two or more sine waves, so we hear the pure tones that make up a complex tone.

Explanation:

Fourier analysis is a technique that is used to determine which sine waves constitute a given signal, i.e. to deconstruct the signal into its individual sine waves.  It is the process of decomposing a periodic function into its constituent sine or cosine waves.

What goes on inside our ears is a mathematical process called a Fourier transform. In the ear, there's a combination of different waves, Fourier analysis identifies contributions at different frequencies, allowing us to reconstruct the individual signals that go into it.

A complex tone perceived by the air is is an individual sine wave that the ear, by acting as a Fourier analyzer, decomposes to serious of sine waves that we hear as pure tones.

Serhud [2]

Complete question:

The left plate of a parallel plate capacitor carries a positive charge Q, and the right plate carries a negative charge -Q. The magnitude of the electric field between the plates is 100 kV/m. The plates each have an area of 2 x 10⁻³ m², and the spacing between the plates is 6 x 10⁻³ m. There is no dielectric between the plates. What is the charge on the capacitor?

Answer:

The charge on the capacitor is 1.77nC

Explanation:

Given;

magnitude of electric field between the plates, E = 100 kV/m

Area of each plate, A = 2 x 10⁻³ m²

Distance between the plates, d = 6 x 10⁻³ m

Charge on the capacitor is calculated as;

Q = CV

V = Ed

C = \epsilon_o \frac{A}{d}

Q = CV =  \epsilon_o \frac{A}{d}*Ed\\\\ Q =  \epsilon_o AE\\\\Q = 8.85*10^{-12} *2*10^{-3}* 100,000\\\\Q = 1.77 *10^{-9} \ C\\Q = 1.77 \ nC

Therefore, the charge on the capacitor is 1.77nC

A tin can has a radius of 0.0410m and is 185 m high if the air is removed from inside the can how much forces will the outside a
grin007 [14]

The force exerted on the bottle is 532 N

Explanation:

When the air is removed from inside the bottle, vacuum is created, therefore the external pressure (the atmospheric pressure) is no longer balanced, and it creates a net force downward on the can.

The pressure is related to the force by the equation:

p=\frac{F}{A}

where

p is the pressure

F is the force

A is the area of the can

Here we have:

p=1.01\cdot 10^5 Pa is the atmospheric pressure

r = 0.0410 m is the radius of the can, so the area is

A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.0410)^2=5.27\cdot 10^{-3}m^2

And solving for F, we can find the force on the can:

F=pA=(1.01\cdot 10^5)(5.27\cdot 10^{-3})=532 N

A boy pulls a wagon with a force of 6 N east as another boy pushes it with a force of 4 N east. What is the net force?
Angelina_Jolie [31]
The net force with be 10 N east. As both boys are pushing a wagon to the same direction, you just add the numbers together. If the directions were opposite like if it was the boy pushing 6 N east and the other boy pushing 4 N west...then it would come out as 2 N east (you subtract and go to the direction with the biggest number) if you have any confusions, feel free to ask

A football player runs from his own goal line to the opposing team's goal line, returning to his forty-yard line, all in 22.4 s.
Bumek [7]
I assume L=120 yards as the length of the football field.

1) The average speed is given by the total distance covered by the player divided by the time taken.
The total distance covered to go from one goal line to the other and then back to the 40-yards line is
S=120y+(120-40)y=120y+80y=200 y
And the time taken is t=22.4 s, so the average speed of the player is
v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{200 y}{22.4 s}=8.93 y/s

2) The find the average velocity, we should also consider the direction (and the sign) of the velocity.
In the the first part of the motion, the player goes from one goal line to the other one, so he covers 120 y. However, in the second part of the motion he goes back by 80 y. Therefore, the net displacement of the player is
S=120 y-80 y=40 y
and so, the average velocity is
v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{40 y}{22.4 s}= 1.79 y/s
