Answer:

The correct answer would be cochlea.

The cochlea is a part of an inner ear and serves the function of hearing in an organism.

The perilymph (watery liquid) present in the cochlea moves in response to the vibrations made by the sound waves.

The movement of cochlea leads to the generation of movement in the organ of Corti and basilar membrane.

Then stereocilia present in the hair cells help in mechanosensing these movements and convert these into electrical signals.

These signals are then passed to the brain through auditory nerves for further processing.

The part of the ear where the sound wave converted into electrical impulse would be the cochlea. This part is the auditory portion of the inner ear which produces nerve impulses in response to sound vibrations. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Take another look at lines 2 and 3. Suppose you use distance and time between any pair of neighboring dots to calculate speed:

Answer:

Add the two speeds together.

Then, divide the sum by two. This will give you the average speed for the entire trip. So, if Ben traveled 40 mph for 2 hours, then 60 mph for another 2 hours, his average speed is 50 mph.

Your weight would change but not your mass, the moon has less gravity so therefore you are going to be lighter :-)

If you decrease the length of a wire, what effect will it have on resistance

As the length increases, resistance increases, as a result current decreases.
