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.

Answer:

Explanation:

Normal force, is always directed upward the surface over which is placed the object, and can adopt any value, as required to meet Newton's 2nd Law.

In this case, as the external force on the suitcase pulls upward, in order to counteract the influence of gravity, normal force is less than the weight of the suitcase, as follows:

F + Fn = m*g

⇒ Fn = m*g - F

So, the normal force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the suitcase (m*g) minus the magnitude of the force of the pull (F) which is the same expressed by the statement b.
