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.
Answer:
Amplitude.
Explanation:
A wave can be defined as a disturbance in a medium that progressively transports energy from a source location to another location without the transportation of matter.
In Science, there are two (2) types of wave and these include;
I. Electromagnetic waves: it doesn't require a medium for its propagation and as such can travel through an empty space or vacuum. An example of an electromagnetic wave is light.
II. Mechanical waves: it requires a medium for its propagation and as such can't travel through an empty space or vacuum. An example of a mechanical wave is sound.
An amplitude can be defined as a waveform that's measured from the center line (its origin or equilibrium position) to the bottom of a trough or top of a crest.
Hence, an amplitude is a word that describes the maximum displacement a point moves from its rest position when a wave passes.
On a graph, the vertical axis (y-axis) is the amplitude of a waveform and this simply means that, it's measured vertically.
Mathematically, the amplitude of a wave is given by the formula;
x = Asin(ωt + ϕ)
Where;
x is displacement of the wave measured in meters.
A is the amplitude.
ω is the angular frequency measured in rad/s.
t is the time period measured in seconds.
ϕ is the phase angle.
Answer:0.253Joules
Explanation:
First, we will calculate the force required to stretch the string. According to Hooke's law, the force applied to an elastic material or string is directly proportional to its extension.
F = ke where;
F is the force
k is spring constant = 34N/m
e is the extension = 0.12m
F = 34× 0.12 = 4.08N
To get work done,
Work is said to be done if the force applied to an object cause the body to move a distance from its initial position.
Work done = Force × Distance
Since F = 4.08m, distance = 0.062m
Work done = 4.08 × 0.062
Work done = 0.253Joules
Therefore, work done to stretch the string to an additional 0.062 m distance is 0.253Joules
