Any change in the cross section of the vocal tract shifts the individual formant frequencies, the direction of the shift dependi

ng on just where the change in area falls along the standing wave. Constriction of the vocal tract at a place where the standing wave of a formant exhibits minimum-amplitude pressure oscillations generally causes the formant to drop in frequency; expansion of the tract at those same places raises the frequency. Three other major tools for changing the shape of the tract in such a way that the frequency of a particular formant is shifted in a particular direction are the jaw, the body of the tongue and the tip of the tongue. Moving the various articulatory organs in different ways changes the frequencies of the two lowest formants over a considerable range [18].
One way to increase formant frequency is to ________ the vocal tract at a place where the standing wave of a formant frequency exhibits minimum-amplitude pressure oscillations.

a. Stretch
b. Vibrate
c. Contract
d. Expand

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

It is stated in the question that constriction of the vocal tract at a place where the standing wave of a formant exhibits minimum-amplitude pressure oscillations generally causes the formant to drop in frequency so to increase formant frequency, the vocal should expand where the standing wave of a formant exhibits minimum-amplitude pressure oscillations. The answer is D.

I hope this helps.

Nuclear fission formula by the looks of it. Possibly how Professor Lisa Meitner realised that she had split the atomic nucleus. The Xenon and the Strontium (Xe and Sr) would presumably show up in a radio chemical assaying test at her university. 
A few years later, Professor J Robert Oppenheimer watched a nuclear test somewhere near Los Alamos, US and lamented "I am become death, the destroyer of worlds". Shortly thereafter, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were razed to the ground and annihilated by nuclear bombs. Professor Meitner, probably inadvertently, had got the keys to the doors to "nuclear hell", and JRO ended up turning them. Something like that maybe, and a very harrowing and tumultuous period in human history.
Note in the fission equation, that out come two neutrons. They go off and produce a similar fission in another U235 nucleus into a chain reaction which, i not moderated by, say, Boron, can end up as a "mushroom cloud".

Two disks of identical mass but different radii (r and 2r) are spinning on frictionless bearings at the same angular speed ?0, b
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Moment of inertia of a disc = 1/2 M R²

Since mass is same for both and radius are r and 2r, their moment of inertia can be in the ratio of 1: 4 . Let them be I and 4I . Angular speed are ω₀ and   - ω₀ .

We shall apply law of conservation of angular momentum .

initial total angular momentum

I x ω₀ - 4I x ω₀ = - 3Iω₀

Let final common angular momentum be ω

total final angular momentum = ( I + 4I ) ω

Applying law of conservation of angular momentum

( I + 4I ) ω =  - 3Iω₀

ω = - 3 / 5 ω₀ .

b )

Initial total rotational K E

= 1/2 I ω₀² + 1/2 4I ω₀²

= 1/2 x5I ω₀²

Final total rotational K E

= 1/2 ( I + 4I ) ( - 3 / 5 ω₀ )²

= 1/2 x 9 / 5 I ω₀²

= 9 / 10I ω₀²

change in rotational kinetic energy = 9 / 10I ω₀² - 1/2 x5I ω₀²

(9/10 - 5/2) xI ω₀²

=( .9 - 2.5 )I ω₀²

= - 1.6 I ω₀² Ans

What is the frequency of a microwave of wavelength 3cm?
navik [9.2K]

Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength)

Speed = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Wavelength = 3 cm = 0.03 m

Frequency = (3 x 10⁸  m/s) / (0.03 m)

Frequency = (3 x 10⁸ / 0.03) (m / m-s)

Frequency =  1 x 10¹⁰ Hz (10 Gigahertz)

What do you mean by population size explain​
torisob [31]
Population size is the actual number of individuals in a population. Population density is a measurement of population size per unit area, i.e., population size divided by total land area. Abundance refers to the relative representation of a species in a particular ecosystem.
