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.

If we double the frequency of a system undergoing simple harmonic motion, which of the following statements about that system ar

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

a. The angular frequency is doubled.

e. The period is reduced to one-half of what it was.

Explanation:

Angular frequency is given as;

ω = 2πf

$\frac{\omega _1}{f_1} = \frac{\omega _2}{f_2}$

when the frequency is doubled

$\frac{\omega _1}{f_1} = \frac{\omega _2}{(2f_1)} \\\\\omega _1 = \frac{\omega _2}{2}\\\\\omega _2 = 2\omega _1$

Thus, the angular frequency will be doubled.

Amplitude in simple harmonic motion is the maximum displacement.

Frequency is related to period in simple harmonic motion as given in the equation below;

$f = \frac{1}{T} \\\\f_1T_1= f_2T_2\\\\T_2 = \frac{f_1T_1}{f_2}$

when the frequency is doubled;

$T_2 = \frac{f_1T_1}{2f_1} \\\\T_2 = \frac{T_1}{2}$

Thus, the period will be reduced to one-half of what it was.

Why are the sedimentary layers at capitol reef tilted?

zysi [14]

Capitol Reef National Park is located in south-central Utah. The sedimentary layers are tilted because of tectonic activity. All sedimentary rocks are laid down horizontally in a basin. The layers become tilted because of tectonic processes such as folding and faulting and compression and tension. The sedimentary layers are made of sandstone, limestone and some volcanic ash.
