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

What is the best description of a convergent boundary? (Do they move towards eachother, side by side past each other, away from
IrinaVladis [17]
Convergent boundaries move towards each other. They can be classified as continental-continental, or oceanic-continental.

Oceanic-Continental: Heavier oceanic plate slides under a continental plate in a process called subduction.

Continental-Continental: Tectonic plates push up against each other and often fold upwards, creating mountain ranges.

A 49.5-turn circular coil of radius 5.10 cm can be oriented in any direction in a uniform magnetic field having a magnitude of 0
ipn [44]

Answer:

The magnitude of the maximum possible torque exerted on the coil is 5.73 x 10⁻³ Nm

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns of the circular coil, N = 49.5 turns

radius of the coil, r = 5.10 cm = 0.051 m

magnitude of the magnetic field, B = 0.535 T

current in the coil, I = 26.5 mA = 0.0265 A

The magnitude of the maximum possible torque exerted on the coil is calculated as;

τ = NIAB

where;

A is the area of the coil

A = πr² = π(0.051)² = 0.00817 m²

Substitute the given values and solve for the maximum torque

τ = (49.5) x (0.0265) x (0.00817) x (0.535)

τ = 0.00573 Nm

τ = 5.73 x 10⁻³ Nm
