The human ear canal is, on average, 2.5cm long and aids in hearing by acting like a resonant cavity that is closed on one end an

d open on the other. The length of the ear canal is partially responsible for our sensitivities to certain frequencies. Use 340m/s for the speed of sound when performing the following calculations. What is the first resonant frequency?

Answer:

$3400$ Hz

Explanation:

We know that

1 cm = 0.01 m

$L$ = Length of the human ear canal = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m

$V$ = Speed of sound = 340 ms⁻¹

$f$ = First resonant frequency

The human ear canal behaves as a closed pipe and for a closed pipe, nth resonant frequency is given as

$f = \frac{(2n - 1)V}{4L}$

for first resonant frequency, we have n = 1

Inserting the values

$f = \frac{(2(1) - 1) 340}{4(0.025)}$

$f = \frac{340}{4(0.025)}$

$f = 3400$ Hz

Anna needs to move a box of paperback books across the room. If she applies a force of 20 newtons to the box, what is the magnit

vlabodo [156]

Newton's third law tells us that for every force there is an equal and opposite force. This means that if Anna exerts a force of 20 Newtons on the box, the box exerts a force of 20 Newtons on Anna.

In the produce section of a supermarket, five pears are placed on a spring scale. The placement of the pears stretches the sprin

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

The displacement of the spring due to weight is 0.043 m

Explanation:

Given :

Mass $m = 2$ Kg

Spring constant $k = 450 \frac{N}{m}$

According to the hooke's law,

$F = -kx$

Where $F =$ force, $x =$ displacement

Here,

$F = mg$ ( $g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }$ )

$F = 2 \times 9.8 = 19.6$ N

Now for finding displacement,

$x = \frac{F}{k}$

Here minus sign only represent the direction so we take magnitude of it.

$x = \frac{19.6}{450}$

$x = 0.043$ m

Therefore, the displacement of the spring due to weight is 0.043 m

Nerve impulses are carried along axons, the elongated fibers that transmit neural signals. We can model an axon as a tube with a

jeka94

Answer:

The resistance of the axon is $1.27\times 10^7\ \Omega$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Inner diameter of the model of an axon, $d=10\ \mu m$

Radius of the model, $r=5\ \mu m=5\times 10^{-6}\ m$

Resistivity of the fluid inside the tube wall, $\rho=0.5\ \Omega -m$

Length of the axon, l = 2 mm = 0.002 m

We know that the resistance in terms of resistivity of an object is given by :

$R=\rho\dfrac{l}{A}\\\\R=0.5\times \dfrac{0.002}{\pi (5\times 10^{-6})^2}\\\\R=1.27\times 10^7\ \Omega$

So, the resistance of the axon is $1.27\times 10^7\ \Omega$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

If the cold temperature reservoir of a Carnot engine is held at a constant 306 K, what temperature should the hot reservoir be k

Paraphin [41]

Efficiency η of a Carnot engine is defined to be:
<span>η = 1 - Tc / Th = (Th - Tc) / Th </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>Tc is the absolute temperature of the cold reservoir, and </span>
<span>Th is the absolute temperature of the hot reservoir. </span>

<span>In this case, given is η=22% and Th - Tc = 75K </span>
<span>Notice that although temperature difference is given in °C it has same numerical value in Kelvins because magnitude of the degree Celsius is exactly equal to that of the Kelvin (the difference between two scales is only in their starting points). </span>

<span>Th = (Th - Tc) / η </span>
<span>Th = 75 / 0.22 = 341 K (rounded to closest number) </span>
<span>Tc = Th - 75 = 266 K </span>

<span>Lower temperature is Tc = 266 K </span>
<span>Higher temperature is Th = 341 K</span>

Steel blocks A and B, which have equal masses, are at TA = 300 oC and T8 = 400 oC. Block C, with mc - 2mA, is at TC = 350 oC. Bl

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

b) TA = TB = TC

Explanation:

When put in contact each other, and isolated, both blocks will exchange heat till they reach to thermal equilibrium.
During this process, the body at a higher temperature, will loss heat, tat it will be gained by the other body.
The equilibrium condition will be reached when the following equation be met:

$\Delta Q = c_{st}* m_{A} * (T_{fin} - T_{0A} ) = c_{st}* m_{B} * (T_{0B} - T_{fin} )$

Replacing by the values of T₀A = 300º C, and T₀B = 400ºC, and simplifying common terms as mA = mB, we can solve for Tfin, as follows:

$(400 \ºC - T_{fin}) = (T_{fin} - 300 \ºC) \\ \\ 2* T_{fin} = 700\ºC\\ \\ T_{fin} = 350\ºC$

So, when both blocks reach to equilibrium, they will be at a common final temperature, 350ºC.
When put in contact with block C, at the same temperature, at that instant, the three blocks will have the same common temperature of 350 ºC.
So, option b) is the right one.
