A child has an ear canal that is 1.3 cm long. At what sound frequencies in the audible range will the child have increased heari

ng sensitivity?
Physics
1 answer:
ElenaW [278]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The answer to this is

6600 Hz to 19,800 Hz

Explanation:

The shape of the human ear is analogous to a closed ended pipe hence

we have λ = 4L or wavelength = 4 * length of the child ear

The frequency  c/λ  where c = speed of sound = 343 m/s

hence the child's audible range is multiples of 343/(4*0.13) =6600Hz

or 13200 Hz or 19,800 Hz

The generally quoted range of human hearing is 20 Hz to 20 kHz

A van de Graaff generator accelerates electrons so that they have energies equivalent to that attained by falling through a pote
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete hence I will give you a general answer on how A van de Graaff generator works

answer :

If the electrons falls through a PD of 150mV the electron will gain energy of   150MeV

Explanation:

when a Van de Graff generator is used to accelerate an electron through a PD ( potential difference ) of any value the particle ( electron )  the electron will gain energy  ( eV )  which is is equivalent in value of the PD it accelerated through

hence if the electrons falls through a PD of 150mV the electron will gain energy of   150MeV

For a home sound system, two small speakers are located so that one is 52 cm closer to the listener than the other. What is the
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The first frequency of audible sound in the speed sound is

f = 662 Hz

Explanation:

vs = 344 m/s

x =  52 cm * 1 / 100m = 0.52m

The wave length is the distance between the peak and peak so

d = 2x

d = 2*0.52 m

d = 1.04 m

So the frequency in the speed velocity is

f = 1 / T

f = vs / x = 344 m/s / 0.52m

f ≅ 662 Hz

A constant force of 8.0 N is exerted for 4.0 s on a 16-kg object initially at rest. The change in speed of this object will be:
AfilCa [17]

The change in speed of this object is 3m/s

According to Newton's second law;

F = ma

F = mv/t

Given the following parameters

Force F = 8.0N

mass m = 16kg

time t = 4.0s

Required

speed v

Substitute the given parameters into the formula

v = Ft/m

v = 8 * 6/16

v = 48/16

v = 3m/s

Hence the change in speed of this object is 3m/s
