Explain why the sound produced by every vibrating body cannot be heard by us ?​

Physics
1 answer:
VMariaS [17]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The human ear is not sensitive to every frequency of sound, rather, our hearing range is from 20Hz to 20,000Hz. This means sound frequencies outside this range are not audible to the human ear, which is why not every sound produced is heard. This is quite a blessing because if we could hear every vibrating body, then our ears would never stop listening: we won't be able to distinguish 'important sounds' from unimportant ones, rendering our ears effectively useless. Perhaps this is why we have a hearing range in the first place: sounds of our friends and our foes lie in 20Hz-20kHz range.

What is the control group
otez555 [7]

A control group in a scientific experiment is a group separated from the rest of the experiment, where the independent variable being tested cannot influence the results. This isolates the independent variable 's effects on the experiment and can help rule out alternative explanations of the experimental results.

Why is it more difficult to slide a crate starting from rest?
mestny [16]
Because the friction on the surface you are sliding on and the friction of the crate, go against each other. So once you start moving the friction will still be there but you now have the momentum to push past the starting point.

Consider a steel guitar string of initial length L=1.00 meter and cross-sectional area A=0.500 square millimeters. The Young's m
ira [324]

Answer:

\Delta L=15\,mm

Explanation:

Given:

  • length of a steel-string, L=1m
  • area of the string, A=0.5\,mm^2
  • Young's modulus of the steel, Y=2\times 10^{11} Pa
  • force of tension on the string, F=1500\,N

We have the relation for change in length:

\Delta L=\frac{F.L}{A.Y}

\Delta L=\frac{1500\times 1000}{0.5\times 10^{-6}\times 2\times 10^{11}}

\Delta L=0.015m

\Delta L=15\,mm
