How do you sound waves reach our ears?

Physics
1 answer:
iren2701 [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Sound waves enter the outer ear and travel through a narrow passageway called the ear canal, which leads to the eardrum. The eardrum vibrates from the incoming sound waves and sends these vibrations to three tiny bones in the middle ear. These bones are called the malleus, incus, and stapes.

Describe how kinetic and potential energy change as a diver climbs up to a diving board and then dives into the water below.
Dima020 [189]

A diver having mass m climbs up the diving board.
We know that Gravitational potential energy is given as <span>P<span>EG</span>=mgΔh</span>

What changes is his Gravitational potential energy due to change of height <span>Δh</span> with reference to the ground/water level.
While standing on the diving board his velocity is zero. As such kinetic energy is also zero.

Once he jumps off the springboard we see he gets additional energy from the springboard and falls down under action of gravity g. Due to decrease of height above the ground level Gravitational potential energy decreases and gets converted in to his kinetic energy. <span>1/2m<span>v2</span></span>.

While in air he encounters air resistance. Some of his energy is spent in overcoming this resistance. Gets converted in to kinetic and thermal energy of surrounding air and his body.

Once diver reaches the water, we see water splashing and hear noise of splash. Thereafter the diver comes to rest. Now his potential energy becomes zero. And converted kinetic energy has been converted in to kinetic energy, heat energy and sound energy of water.

As such energy transformation equation looks like

<span><span>Gravitational PE+Elastic PE of springboard</span><span>→Kinetic energy of air and water+Sound energy of splash+thermal energy</span></span>

A laser pulse of duration 25 ms has a total energy of 1.4 J. The wavelength of this radiation is
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

n = 4 x 10¹⁸ photons

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the energy of one photon in the radiation:

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}\\\\

where,

E = Energy of one photon = ?

h = Plank's Constant = 6.625 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength of radiation = 567 nm = 5.67 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

E = \frac{(6.625\ x\ 10^{-34}\ J.s)(3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s)}{5.67\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}

E = 3.505 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Now, the number of photons to make up the total energy can be calculated as follows:

Total\ Energy = nE\\1.4\ J = n(3.505\ x\ 10^{-19}\ J)\\n = \frac{1.4\ J}{3.505\ x\ 10^{-19}\ J}\\

<u>n = 4 x 10¹⁸ photons</u>

A cynical block on an air table vibrates horizontally in SHM with an amplitude of 8.0cm and a frequency of 1.50Hz. If a smaller
AveGali [126]

Answer:

μ = 0.724

Explanation:

maximum acceleration for SHM

a = ω²A

ω = 2πf

a = 4π²f²A

a = 4π²(1.50)²(0.080) = 7.106... m/s²

μ = F/N = ma/mg = a/g = 7.106/9.81 = 0.7243...

I'm cynical that a block can be cynical. Wassa madder, doesn't trust anyone?

A mole is defined as the number of atoms in an exact mass of which isotope?
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Isotope of carbon-12.

Explanation:

The MOLE  is a unit of measurement of the amount of a pure substance which contains exactly the same number of chemical units which could be (Atoms, molecules etc.) posses atoms in exactly 12 grams of isotope of carbon-12 (i.e., 6.022\times 10^{23}).

So, The mole is the Notation  used for an amount 6.022\times 10^{23}  as same the 12 number is used for dozen for making count of Bananas and many more.

The 6.022\times 10^{23} is known as the fundamental constant names Avogadro's number (N_{A}), It is in the honor of Italian scientist Amedeo Avogadro.
