What happens if the air pressure in your throat and outside body is less than the air pressure in your middle ear when you swall

Answer:

When the air pressure in the throat and outside the body is less than the air pressure in the middle ear, barotrauma occurs.

Explanation:

Ear barotrauma is a medical condition that describes discomfort in the ear which is caused by pressure differences in the inner and outer ear drum.

Usually, the air pressure in the middle ear is the same as the air pressure in the throat and outside the body.

When we swallow, the eustachian tube opens up and air flows out of and into the middle ear, this balances the pressure. But if the eustachian tube is blocked, the air pressure in the throat and outer body become different from the air pressure in the middle ear.

What represents the impulse of the force in a graph of force versus time?
vovikov84 [41]
In the graph of the force vs the time:
Force is the gradient of the momentum versus the time.

If we get the area under the curve in this graph:
it will be calculated as : force * time
which gives the change in momentum or the impulse.

Therefore, the area under the curve <span>represents the impulse of the force in a graph of force versus time</span>

A car travels on a straight, level road. (a) Starting from rest, the car is going 38 ft/s (26 mi/h) at the end of 4.0 s. What is
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

a)9.5\frac{ft}{s^2}\\ b) 12.66\frac{ft}{s^2}

Explanation:

A body has acceleration when there is a change in the velocity vector, either in magnitude or direction. In this case we only have a change in magnitude. The average acceleration represents the speed variation that takes place in a given time interval.

a)

a_{avg}=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\\a_{avg}=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t_{f}- t_{i}}\\a_{avg}=\frac{38\frac{ft}{s}-0}{4 s- 0}=9.5\frac{ft}{s^2}\\

b)

a_{avg}=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\\a_{avg}=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t_{f}- t_{i}}\\a_{avg}=\frac{76\frac{ft}{s}-38\frac{ft}{s}}{7 s- 4s}\\a_{avg}=\frac{38\frac{ft}{s}}{3s}=12.66\frac{ft}{s^2}

Which of the following statements is FALSE?
Levart [38]

A thrust fault is a reverse fault with an extremely high dip (close to 90°). This is the false statement.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Faults are the fracture or fracture zone occurring on the rocks. These fractures can travel through the rocks leading to massive destruction. So, depending upon the direction of their travel, the faults can be classified as normal, reverse and strike slip fault. Also, the angle of dip along the fault is one of the important criteria for determining the type of faults.

There is dip-slip fault which has its movement along the vertical fault plane while the strike slip fault will be in horizontal direction. Similarly, an oblique fault will be acting in both vertical and the horizontal direction. So, the fourth statement related to thrust fault is false as in reverse fault or thrust fault the dip will be shallow and not high.
