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

Ferdinand the frog is hopping from lily pad to lily pad in search of a good fly
loris [4]

Answer: 36.86\°

Explanation:

According to the described situation we have the following data:

Horizontal distance between lily pads: d=2.4 m

Ferdinand's initial velocity: V_{o}=5 m/s

Time it takes a jump: t=0.6 s

We need to find the angle \theta at which Ferdinand jumps.

In order to do this, we first have to find the <u>horizontal component (or x-component)</u> of this initial velocity. Since we are dealing with parabolic movement, where velocity has x-component and y-component, and in this case we will choose the x-component to find the angle:

V_{x}=\frac{d}{t} (1)

V_{x}=\frac{2.4 m}{0.6 s} (2)

V_{x}=4 m/s (3)

On the other hand, the x-component of the velocity is expressed as:

V_{x}=V_{o}cos\theta (4)

Substituting (3) in (4):

4 m/s=5 m/s cos\theta (5)

Clearing \theta:

\theta=cos^{-1} (\frac{4 m/s}{5 m/s})

\theta=36.86\° This is the angle at which Ferdinand the frog jumps between lily pads

rewona [7]

Answer:

86.4 m  horizontal from landing spot

Explanation:

Find out how long before the ball hits the ground

 vertical speed  of ball = -2  m/s     gravity = - 9.81 m/s^2

find time to hit ground from 100 m  

          ( height will be<u> zero</u> when it hits the ground)

<u>0 </u>=  100  - 2 t  - 1/2 ( 9.81) t^2

        use Quadratic Formula to find t = 4.32 seconds

              horizontal speed of ball = 20 m/s  

in 4.32 seconds it will travel horizontally   20  m/s * 4.32 s = 86.4 m
