The frequency of the human ear canal is 2.92 kHz.

Explanation:

As the ear canal is like a tube with open at one end, the wavelength of sound passing through this tube will propagate 4 times its length of the tube. So wavelength of the sound wave will be equal to four times the length of the tube. Then the frequency can be easily determined by finding the ratio of velocity of sound to wavelength. As the velocity of sound is given as 339 m/s, then the wavelength of the sound wave propagating through the ear canal is  

Wavelength=4*Length of the ear canal

As length of the ear canal is given as 2.9 cm, it should be converted into meter as follows:

wavelength = 4*2.9*10^{-2} =0.116

Then the frequency is determined as

f=c/λ=339/0.116=2922 Hz=2.92 kHz.

So, the frequency of the human ear canal is 2.92 kHz.

The half-life of the reaction gets shorter as the initial concentration is increased. True or False
Art [367]

True

The half-life isn’t applicable to a first order reaction because it does not rely on the concentration of reactant present. However the 2nd order reaction is dependent on the concentration of the reactant present.

The relationship between the half life and the reactant is an inverse one.

The half life is usually reduced or shortened with an increase in the concentration and vice versa.

A chevrolet corvette convertible can brake to a stop from a speed of 60.0 mi/h in a distance of 123 ft on a level roadway. what
pychu [463]
By definition we have that the final speed is:
 Vf² = Vo² + 2 * a * d
 Where,
 Vo: Final speed
 a: acceleration
 d: distance.
 We cleared this expression the acceleration:
 a = (Vf²-Vo²) / (2 * d)
 Substituting the values:
 a = ((0) ^ 2- (60) ^ 2) / ((2) * (123) * (1/5280))
 a = -77268 mi / h ^ 2
 its stopping distance on a roadway sloping downward at an angle of 17.0 ° is:
 First you must make a free body diagram and see the acceleration of the car:
 g = 32.2 feet / sec ^ 2
 a = -77268 (mi / h ^ 2) * (5280/1) (feet / mi) * (1/3600) ^ 2 (h / s) ^ 2
 a = -31.48 feet / sec ^ 2
 A = a + g * sin (θ) = -31.48 + 32.2 * sin17.0
 A = -22.07 feet / sec ^ 2
 Clearing the braking distance:
 Vf² = Vo² + 2 * a * d
 d = (Vf²-Vo²) / (2 * a)
 Substituting the values:
 d = ((0) ^ 2- (60 * (5280/3600)) ^ 2) / (2 * (- 22.07))
 d = 175.44 feet
 answer:
 its stopping distance on a roadway sloping downward at an angle of 17.0 ° is 175.44 feet

To keep with the law of conservation of matter, determine the correct product for the following reaction:
user100 [1]

Answer:

B) PbI2 + 2 KCl

Explanation:

To keep the the law of conservation of matter, the equation given above must be balanced i.e the total element in the reactant must be equal to the total elements in the product.

Given the equation

PbCl2 (aq) + 2 KI (aq) →

At the reactant shown, there are one mole of lead Pb, 2 moles of chlorine Cl, 2moles of Potassium K and 2 moles of Iodine.

During reaction, the Chlorine atom will react with the potassium atom K and the lead atom Pb will react with the iodine atom.

The resulting product that will balance the chemical equation is

PbI2 + 2 KCl

The equation will then become

PbCl2 (aq) + 2 KI (aq) → PbI2 + 2 KCl

If we look at both sides of the equation, we will see that all the elements have the same number of atoms.
