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.

An object weighs 10N on earth .what is the objects weight on a planet one tenth the earths mass and one half its radius?
earnstyle [38]
We know, weight = mass * gravity 
10 = m * 9.8
m = 10/9.8 = 1.02 Kg

Now, Let, the gravity of that planet = g'
g' = m/r²   [m,r = mass & radius of that planet ]
g' = M/10 / (1/2R)²   [M, R = mass & radius of Earth ]
g' = 4M / 10R²
g' = 2/5 * M/R²
g' = 2/5 * g   
g' = 2/5 * 9.8
g' = 3.92

Weight on that planet = planet's gravity * mass
W' = 3.92 * 1.02
W' = 4 N

In short, Your Answer would be 4 Newtons

Hope this helps!

A homing pigeon starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at +4.00 m/s squared for 10.0 seconds. What is its velocity after the
zavuch27 [327]
'  +4 m/s² ' means that the pigeon's speed is  4 m/s greater every second.

Starting from zero speed, after 10 seconds, its speed is 

                           (10 x 4m/s)  =  40 m/s.

We can't say anything about its velocity, because we have
no information regarding the direction of its flight.

kifflom [539]

Answer:

40sec

Explanation:

Data

Work = 440 J

Power= 11watt

time = ?

Power = work done/time

===> time = work done/power

= 440/11

= 40sec

At this rate, how long would it take for two continents 3500 kilometers apart to collide?
meriva

<span>Given:

3,500 kilometers

Find:</span>

 

Years for two continents to collide = ?

 

<span>Solution:

We know that </span>typical motions of one plate relative to another are 1 centimeter per year.

So first, we convert 3,500 km to cm.<span>
</span><span>

</span>

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

 

1 km = 100,000 cm

3,500 km x 100,000 = 350,000,000 cm

Since we know that 1 cm = 1 year, then that means 350,000,000 cm is equivalent to 350,000,000 years.

 

Therefore, it would take 350 million years for two continents that are 3500 kilometers apart to collide.

<span>
To add, </span>a phenomenon of the plate tectonics of Earth that occurs at convergent boundaries is called the continental collision.

How much heat is absorbed by a 28g iron skillet when its temperature rises from 7oC to 29oC?
prohojiy [21]
From the information given above, 
Mass [M] = 28 g
Change in temperature = 29 - 7 = 22 
Specific heat of iron = 0.449 [This value is constant]
The formula for calculating heat absorbed, Q is
Q = Mass * Specific heat of Iron * change in temperature
Q = 28 * 0.449 * 22 = 276.58 J<span />
