A student new to the study of hearing wanted to determine the ability of listeners to determine the difference in the duration o

f two tones as a means to study temporal discrimination. He asked listeners to discriminate between a tone of 5 mse duration and one of 20 msec duration, and in another condition between a tone of 200 msec duration and one of 400 msec duration. He found that the listeners could detect the difference between the 5 and 20 msec tones better than they could differentiate between the 200 and 400 msec tones. Does this mean that the duration is the only reason that the difference thresholds are different for the short duration tones as compared to the long duration tones? (hint: a short duration stimulus like a click has a spectrum made up of many frequencies). Path: p Words: 0

Answer:

No, duration is not the sole reason.

Explanation:

The frequency is reciprocal of time period, so we can calculate the frequency differences between the waves as, (The frequency will not match with the actual waves frequency, since here the time for observing the wave is different)

Δf₁ = 1/5 - 1/20 = 0.15 Hz

Δf₂ = 1/200 - 1/400 = 2.5 x 10⁻³ Hz

So, the person will be able to differentiate between the waves which are farther apart. The duration of the individual tones is also important, since as the duration of the tones decreases, the number of frequencies in the wave increases (Fourier Transform), whereas a longer duration tone, has lesser number of frequencies.

One more reason is that the 200 msec and 400 msec duration waves are in frequency region of 1-5 Hz which cannot be heard by Humans.

A uniform wooden plank with a mass of 75kg and length of 5m is placed on top of a brick wall so that 1.5m of plank extends beyon
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

x₂ = 1.33 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the rotational equilibrium condition, where the counterclockwise rotations are positive and the zero of the reference system is placed at the turning point on the wall

            Στ = 0

            W₁ x₁ - W₂ x₂ = 0

where W₁ is the weight of the woman, W₂ the weight of the table.

Let's find the distances.

Since the table is homogeneous, its center of mass coincides with its geometric center, measured at zero.

           x₁ = 2.5 -1.5 = 1 m

The distance of the person is x₂ measured from the turning point, at the point where the board begins to turn the girl must be on the left side so her torque must be negative

            x₂ = \frac{M_1g  }{m_2 g} \ x_1

           

let's calculate

           x₂ = \frac{100}{75}  \ 1

           x₂ = 1.33 m

Why it is difficult to run fast in sand​
balu736 [363]
Running on sand requires 1.6 times more energy spent than running on hard surface, so the force applied by our foot on sand is less.
