Answer:

the cochlea

Explanation:

The cochlea contains the spiral organ of Corti, which is the receptor organ for hearing. It consists of tiny hair cells that translate the fluid vibration of sounds from its surrounding ducts into electrical impulses that are carried to the brain by sensory nerves.

How many joules of gravitational potential energy does a person have after they went up stairs that are 10 meters tall? Assume t

Sonja [21]

Answer:

P = 5880 J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a person, m = 60 kg

The height of the stairs, h = 10 m

We need to find the gravitational potential energy of the person. The formula is as follows :

$P=mgh$

Substitute all the values,

$P=60\times 9.8\times 10\\\\P=5880\ J$

So, the required gravitational potential energy is equal to 5880 J.

Two resistors, A and B, are connected in series to a 6.0 V battery. A voltmeter connected across resistor A measures a potential

mestny [16]

Answer:

Resistance of resistor A = 6.0 Ω and resistance of resistor B = 3.0 Ω

Explanation:

When the two resistors are in series, let V₁ = voltage in resistor A and R₁ = resistance of resistor A and V₂ = voltage in resistor B and R₂ = resistance of resistor B.

Given that V₁ + V₂ = 6.0 V and V₁ = 4.0 V,

V₂ = 6.0 V - V₁ = 6.0 V - 4.0 V = 2.0 V

Also, let the current in series be I.

So, V₁ = IR₁ and V₂ = IR₂

I = V₁/R₁ and I = V₂/R₂

equating both expressions, we have

V₁/R₁ = V₂/R₂

4.0 V/R₁ = 2.0 V/R₂

dividing through by 2.0 V, we have

2/R₁ = 1/R₂

taking the reciprocal, we have

R₂ = R₁/2

R₁ = 2R₂

From the parallel connection, let V₁ = voltage in resistor A and R₁ = resistance of resistor A and V₂ = voltage in resistor B and R₂ = resistance of resistor B. Since it is parallel, V₁ = V₂ = V = 6.0 V

Also, V₂ = I₂R₂ where I₂ = current in resistor B = 2.0 A and R₂ = resistance of resistor B

So, R₂ = V₂/I₂

= 6.0 V/2.0 A

= 3.0 Ω

R₁ = 2R₂

= 2(3.0 Ω)

= 6.0 Ω

So, resistance of resistor A = 6.0 Ω and resistance of resistor B = 3.0 Ω

A5 kg frisbee is thrown from rest to a final speed of 12 m/s. What is the impulse of the frisbee?

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

60kgm/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of frisbee = 5kg

Final speed = 12m/s

Unknown:

Impulse of the frisbee = ?

Solution:

The impulse of the frisbee is the same as the change in momentum.

It is given as:

Impulse = mass (Final velocity - Initial velocity)

Impulse = 5(12 - 0) = 60kgm/s

A rotating paddle wheel is inserted in a closed pot of water. The stirring action of the paddle wheel heats the water. During th

fgiga [73]

Answer:

the final energy of the system is 35.5 kJ.

Explanation:

Given;

initial energy of the system, E₁ = 10 kJ

heat transferred to the system, q₁ 30 kJ

Heat lost to the surrounding, q₂ = 5kJ

heat gained by the system, Q = q₁ - q₂ = 30 kJ - 5kJ = 25 kJ

work done on the system, W = 500 J = 0.5 kJ

Apply first law of thermodynamic,

ΔU = Q + W

where;

ΔU is change in internal energy

Q is the heat gained by the system

W is work done on the system

ΔU = 25kJ + 0.5 kJ

ΔU = 25.5 kJ

The final energy of the system is calculated as;

E₂ = E₁ + ΔU

E₂ = 10 kJ + 25.5 kJ

E₂ = 35.5 kJ.

Therefore, the final energy of the system is 35.5 kJ.

State how the centripetal force is provided in the following

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

a) a planet orbiting the Sun,

Explanation:

As the word centripetal force means the movement of the body towards the centers around to which it's moving. The force of gravity of the sun, moon, and sun all celestial objects enable them to attract other celestial bodies.

The bigger is the mass the bigger will force of attraction. Like the other planets in the solar system, the earth is also attracted to the sun and revolves around in its defined orbit in an elliptical path.
