The part of the ear where sound wave compressions and rarefactions cause the eardrum to vibrate is the middle ear. The 8th nerve in the inner ear actually converts the mechanical energy to electrical energy for transmitting to the brain. A membrane called the tympanic membrane separates the middle ear from the outer ear. Whenever a sound reaches the ear, it creates a sound wave that creates vibration in the eardrum. The pressure when high pushes the membrane inwards while low pressure sound waves helps the eardrum to come outwards.

The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. If a wave hits a smooth surface at an angle of incidence of 40 degrees then the angle of reflection is 40 degrees.

Define work and power

Kamila [148]

WORK = W=Fd. Because energy is the capacity to do work , we measure energy and work in the same units (N*m or joules). POWER (P) is the rate of energy generation (or absorption) over time:P = E/t. Power's SI unit of measurement is the Watt, representing the generation or absorption of energy at the rate of 1 Joule/sec.

Explain the energy transfer if a book on the edge of a table, falls to the floor. There should be 3 types of energy transfers.

gavmur [86]

Answer:

potential energy

kinetic energy

thermal energy

Explanation:

The book's potential energy can be released by knocking it off the table. As the book falls, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. When the book hits the floor this kinetic energy is converted into heat and sound by the impact.

Explain what physicists mean when they say that the de Broglie wavelength relates to the probability distribution wave function.

Ksju [112]

Answer:

Because it unites particle and wave nature.

Explanation:

De Broglie wavelength can be defined as the,

$\lambda =\frac{h}{mv}$

Here, h is planks constant, m is the mass of electron, v is the velocity of electron.

Since the de Broglie wavelength can behave like the photon wavelength with respect to the momentum

It unites particles and waves nature ,so De Broglie wavelengths is probability waves associated with the wave function according to physicists.

A ball is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 19.0 m/s. (a) How high does it rise? m (b) How long does it take to reach its

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Initial speed= $u=19 m/s$

a. $g=9.8m/s^2$

Final velocity of ball= $v=0$

$v=u-gt$

g is negative because the ball is going against to gravity.

$0=19-9.8t$

$9.8t=19$

$t=\frac{19}{9.8}=1.94 s$

$s=ut-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Using the formula

$s=19(1.94)-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(1.94)^2$

$s=18.4 m$

a.The ball rise upto height 18.4 m

b.It take 1.94 s to reach its highest point.

c.Initial velocity=0,s=18.4 m

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$18.4=0(t)+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

$18.4=4.9t^2$

$t^2=\frac{18.4}{4.9}$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{18.4}{4.9}}$

$t=1.94 s$

$v=u+gt$

Using the formula

$v=0+9.8(1.94)=19 m/s$

Science Seminar Question: Why did Vehicle 2 fall off the cliff in Claire's test of the collision scene but Vehicle 2 did not fal

asambeis [7]

Complete Question:

Check the file attached to get the complete question

Answer:

In the film Ice word Revenge, vehicle 2 did not fall of the cliff because, $Weight_{vehicle 1} < Weight_{vehicle 2}$ but in Claire's test, vehicle 2 off the cliff because $Weight_{vehicle 1} \geq Weight_{vehicle 2}$

Explanation:

In Claire's test, the weight of vehicle 1 is either equal to or greater than the weight of vehicle 2, so it was sufficient to push it down the cliff. In the film Ice word revenge, the weight of vehicle 1 is less than the weight of vehicle 2, it is not sufficient to make it fall off the cliff ( Note: Looking exactly the same in the movie, as Claire claimed, does not mean they have the same mass). Therefore if Claire wants a collision that will not make the vehicle 2 fall off the cliff, he should collide it with a vehicle of lesser mass/weight.
