Answer:
tympanic membrane (eardrum)
Explanation:
The sound waves spread through the air and reach the outer ear, into which they penetrate through the ear canal. In doing so, they stimulate the eardrum, which closes the inner end of the duct. By vibrating this membrane, the vibration of a chain of ossicles located in the middle ear is induced. These ossicles transmit their vibration to the oval window, which is a membranous structure that communicates the middle ear with the cochlea of the inner ear. When the oval membrane moves, it moves the liquid (perilymph) that fills one of the three cavities of the cochlea generating waves in it. These waves mechanically stimulate the sensory cells (hair cells) located in the organ of Corti, within the cochlea in the central cavity, the middle ramp. This cavity is filled with a liquid rich in K +, endolymph. The cells embedded in the endolymph, change their permeability to K + due to the movement of the cilia and respond by releasing a neurotransmitter that excites the nerve terminals, which initiate the auditory sensory pathway.
When two sides of a membrane are in contact with each other, the distribution of ions will alter as a result of the binding of a signal molecule to a ligand-gated ion channel.
<h3>
What is a ligand-gated ion channel?</h3>
Ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) are membrane proteins that are structurally integral and feature a pore that permits the controlled passage of particular ions across the plasma membrane. The electrochemical gradient for the permeant ions drives the passive ion flux.
When a chemical ligand, such as a neurotransmitter, attaches to the protein, ligand-gated ion channels open. Changes in membrane potential cause voltage channels to open and close. When a receptor physically deforms, as in the case of pressure and touch receptors, mechanically-gated channels open.

Answer:
1.contact force
2. Non contact
Explanation:
1. Because bodies are in contact
2.Bodies are not in contact.
a) The mass of the ship is 
b) The ship has a larger momentum than the shell
Explanation:
a)
The momentum of an object is given by:
where
m is the mass of the object
v is its velocity
For the ship in this problem, we have
is the momentum
is the velocity
Solving for m, we find the mass of the ship:
b)
The momentum of the artillery shell is given by
where
m is its mass
v is its velocity
For the shell in this problem,
m = 1100 kg
v = 1200 m/s
Substituting,
So, we see that the ship has a larger momentum.
