Answer:

True

Explanation:

Short wavelengths, from high-pitched sounds, cause displacement of the basilar membrane near the oval window, is a True statement.

Stapes bones transmit movement to the oval windows. Stapes cause the round window membrane to move out. This turn allows the movement of fluid within the cochlea. This leads to motion of inner cochlear inner hair and thus hearing is possible.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Before explaining the reason let's first know some of the terminologies used in the question.

Cochlea:

Cochlea is the spiral cavity of the inner ear which transform sound in neural message.

Basilar membrane:

The basilar membrane is a stiff structural element within the cochlea of the inner ear which separates two liquid-filled tubes running along the coil of cochlea.

Oval Window:

It is a membrane around the cochlea.

Volume of sound is directly proportional to the amplitude of a sound wave.

While the frequency of sound is inversely proportion to the  wavelength of sound waves thus high pitch sound are produced by short wavelength and vice versa.

If the displacement of the basilar membrane is near to the oval window by a sound, then we can detect that sound, because sound waves stimulate the the basilar membrane and then sound waves are detected.  

The structure of the cochlea varies, so sound waves of different wavelengths stimulate different areas in the basilar membrane.

shorter the wavelength higher is the chance to stimulate basilar membrane.  

Increasing the pitch of sound (i.e. making the wavelength shorter) decreases the displacement of the basilar membrane to the oval window and thus we detect the sound waves.

The two forces in each pair may have different physical origins (for instance, one of the forces could be due to gravity, and it
kap26 [50]

Answer:

b)False

Explanation:

This is the false statement .The two forces in each pair could not have different physical origins.

The two pair of forces have same origin.It can not be possible that one is electric force and other one is gravity force or friction force.

We know that magnitude of electric force is much smaller than the friction force .So they can not be in pair form.

Answer is b)  False

Planets A and B have the same size, mass, and direction of travel, but planet A is traveling through space at half the speed of
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

B. You would weigh the same on both planets because their masses and the distance to their centers of gravity are the same.

Explanation:

Given that Planets A and B have the same size, mass.

Let the masses of the planets A and B are m_A and m_B respectively.

As masses are equal, so m_A=m_B\cdots(i).

Similarly, let the radii of the planets A and B are r_A and r_B respectively.

As radii are equal, so r_A=r_B\cdots(ii).

Let my mass is m.

As the weight of any object on the planet is equal to the gravitational force exerted by the planet on the object.

So, my weight on planet A, w_A= \frac {Gm_Am}{r_A^2}

my weight of planet B, w_B=\frac {Gm_Bm}{r_B^2}

By using equations (i) and (ii),

w_B=\frac {Gm_Am}{r_A^2}=w_A.

So, the weight on both planets is the same because their masses and the distance to their centers of gravity are the same.

Hence, option (B) is correct.

How does the sum of forces help you
densk [106]

Answer:

the net force is the resultant of all the forces; it is the result of adding all the forces together as vectors. For the situation of the three forces on the force board, the net force is the sum of force vectors A + B + C.

What is 2.5 × 104 × 3 × 102?
nikklg [1K]
I assume these are scientific notation thus 10^x not 10x
first multiply all numbers together
so 2.5*10^4*3*10^2
or 25000*300
so you get 7500000.0
move the decimal to 7.5
which is 6 places
the answer is c 7.5*10^6
