The human ear canal is, on average, 2.5cm long and aids in hearing by acting like a resonant cavity that is closed on one end an

d open on the other. The length of the ear canal is partially responsible for our sensitivities to certain frequencies. Use 340m/s for the speed of sound when performing the following calculations. What is the first resonant frequency?

Answer:

$3400$ Hz

Explanation:

We know that

1 cm = 0.01 m

$L$ = Length of the human ear canal = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m

$V$ = Speed of sound = 340 ms⁻¹

$f$ = First resonant frequency

The human ear canal behaves as a closed pipe and for a closed pipe, nth resonant frequency is given as

$f = \frac{(2n - 1)V}{4L}$

for first resonant frequency, we have n = 1

Inserting the values

$f = \frac{(2(1) - 1) 340}{4(0.025)}$

$f = \frac{340}{4(0.025)}$

$f = 3400$ Hz

Are the units of the formula ma = mv2/2 dimensionally consistent? Select the single best answer.

Vesnalui [34]

To solve the problem we will simply perform equivalence between both expressions. We will proceed to place your units and develop your internal operations in case there is any. From there we will compare and look at its consistency

$ma = \text{Mass}\times \text{Acceleration}$

$ma = kg \cdot \frac{m}{s^2}$

At the same time we have that

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \text{Mass}\times \text{Velocity}^2$

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = kg ( \frac{m}{s})^2$

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = kg \cdot \frac{m^2}{s^2}$

Therefore there is not have same units and both are not consistent and the correct answer is B.

How does temperature,barometric pressure,humidity,wind speed and direction, and precipitation determine the weather in a particu

Deffense [45]

Temperature is how hot or cold something is,barometric is air pressure(when the pressures high,the weather is dry)humidity is how moist the air is and how many water particles are there, wind speed and direction is how the hot and cold air is moving and how fast,which makes wind (high to low, hot to cold) precipitation is how much it is raining at that point.

A bowling ball with a momentum of 18kg-m/s strikes a stationary bowling pin. After the collision, the ball has a momentum of 13k

Veronika [31]

Answer:

$14.98\ \text{kg m/s}$

$45.26^{\circ}$

Explanation:

$P_1$ = Initial momentum of the pin = 13 kg m/s

$P_i$ = Initial momentum of the ball = 18 kg m/s

$P_2$ = Momentum of the ball after hit

$55^{\circ}$ = Angle ball makes with the horizontal after hitting the pin

$\theta$ = Angle the pin makes with the horizotal after getting hit by the ball

Momentum in the x direction

$P_i=P_1\cos55^{\circ}+P_2\cos\theta\\\Rightarrow P_2\cos\theta=P_i-P_1\cos55^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow P_2\cos\theta=18-13\cos55^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow P_2\cos\theta=10.54\ \text{kg m/s}$

Momentum in the y direction

$P_1\sin55=P_2\sin\theta\\\Rightarrow P_2\sin\theta=13\sin55^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow P_2\sin\theta=10.64\ \text{kg m/s}$

$(P_2\cos\theta)^2+(P_2\sin\theta)^2=P_2^2\\\Rightarrow P_2=\sqrt{10.54^2+10.64^2}\\\Rightarrow P_2=14.98\ \text{kg m/s}$

The pin's resultant velocity is $14.98\ \text{kg m/s}$

$P_2\sin\theta=10.64\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\dfrac{10.64}{14.98}\\\Rightarrow \theta=45.26^{\circ}$

The pin's resultant direction is $45.26^{\circ}$ below the horizontal or to the right.

Which one of the following is a decomposition reaction?

BabaBlast [244]

You would know a decomposition reaction occurred if the reactants separated. For example from AB → A+B.

Now if you look at your options only 1 works out for that equation. Letter A.
From the compound K2CO3 it split up to K2O +CO2

It cannot be letter B because synthesis/combination occurred. The same goes for letter C. Letter D, single displacement occurred.

Again, the answer is A.
