How do you sound waves reach our ears?

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.

A 20.0 μf capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 850 v. the terminals of the charged capacitor are then connected to
liberstina [14]
  • (a) Q = 1.70\times 10^{-2}\;\text{C};
  • (b) V_\text{final} = 5.31\times 10^{2}\;\text{V};
  • (c) E_\text{final} = 4.52\;\text{J};
  • (d) \Delta E = 2.82\;\text{J}.

All four values are in 3 sig. fig.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

(a)

Q = C\cdot V = 20.0\times 10^{-6} \times 850\;\text{V} = 1.70\times 10^{-2}\;\text{J}.

(b)

Sum of the final charge on the two capacitors should be the same as the sum of the initial charge. Voltage of the two capacitors should be the same. That is:

C_1\cdot V_\text{final} +C_2 \cdot V_\text{final} = C_1\cdot V_\text{initial};

(C_1+C_2)\cdot V_\text{final} = C_1\cdot V_\text{initial};

\displaystyle V_\text{final} = \frac{C_1}{C_1+C_2}\cdot V_\text{initial}\\\phantom{V_\text{final}} = \frac{20.0\;\mu\text{F}}{20.0\;\mu\text{F} + 12.0\;\mu\text{F}} \times 850\;\text{V}\\\phantom{V_\text{final}} =531\;\text{V}.

(c)

\displaystyle E = \frac{1}{2}\cdot C\cdot V^{2}.

\displaystyle E_\text{final} = \frac{1}{2} (C_1 + C_2) \cdot {V_\text{final}}^{2} \\\phantom{E_\text{final}} = \frac{1}{2} \times (20.0\times 10^{-6} + 12.0\times 10^{-6}) \times 531.25\\\phantom{E_\text{final}} = 4.52\;\text{J}.

(d)

Initial energy of the system, which is the same as the initial energy in the 20.0\;\mu\text{F} capacitor:

\displaystyle E_\text{initial} = \frac{1}{2} \times 20.0\times 10^{-6} \times 850^{2} = 7.225\;\text{J}.

Change in energy:

\Delta E = 7.225\;\text{J} - 4.516\;\text{J} = 2.70\;\text{J}.

When light of wavelength 160 nm falls on a gold surface, electrons having a maximum kinetic energy of 2. 66 ev are emitted. Find
enyata [817]

When the light of wavelength is falling on gold surface, the electrons begin to exchange energies.

a)The work function in eV is Φ =5.097 eV.

b) The cut-off wavelength is λ₀ = 243.71 nm

c) The frequency is ν₀  =1.231 × 10¹⁵ Hz

<h3>What is work function?</h3>

The energy needed for a particle to escape and break through the surface.

The kinetic energy of the light emitted is 2.66 eV and wavelength of the light is 160 nm = 160 × 10⁻⁹ m.

a) The work function of the gold for given maximum kinetic energy is

Φ = hc / λ  - K.Emax

Substituting 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s for h, 3 × 10⁸ m/s for c and 2.66 eV for K.Emax, work function will be

Φ =8.16 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

1 eV = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹

The work function in eV is Φ =5.097 eV.

b) The cutoff wavelength is related to work function as

λ₀ = hc / Φ

Substitute the corresponding values into the equation, we get the cut off wavelength

λ₀ = 243.71 nm

c) The frequency corresponding to the cut-off wavelength is

ν₀ = c / λ₀

Substitute the corresponding values into the equation, we get the frequency,

ν₀  =1.231 × 10¹⁵ Hz

Therefore, the values for the following are

a)The work function in eV is Φ =5.097 eV.

b) The cut-off wavelength is λ₀ = 243.71 nm

c) The frequency is ν₀  =1.231 × 10¹⁵ Hz

If your weight is 120 pounds and your mass is 54 kilograms how would those values change if you were on the moon
BlackZzzverrR [31]
The gravitation acceleration on the moon is different than on Earth. It is 1.6 m/s^2. If you weigh 120 lbs, then you would multiply 120 pounds by the gravitational acceleration on the moon and then divide by the acceleration on Earth.

(120 lbs * 1.6) / 9.8 = 20 pounds.

The mass will always be the same no matter what planet you’re on, so it’s still 54 kg.
