What is the pathway of sound vibrations to the inner ear? The vibrations are transmitted further into the ear via three bones (ossicles): malleus (hammer), incus (anvil), and the stapes (stirrup). These three bones form a bridge from the tympanic membrane to the oval window. 5. Once sound passes through the oval window, it enters […]
What happens when a diver gets the bends?
What happens when a diver gets the bends? Decompression sickness: Often called “the bends,” decompression sickness happens when a scuba diver ascends too quickly. Divers breathe compressed air that contains nitrogen. At higher pressure under water, the nitrogen gas goes into the body’s tissues. Will the bends go away on its own? In some cases, […]
Will Dust Bowl happen again?
Will Dust Bowl happen again? More than eight decades later, the summer of 1936 remains the hottest summer on record in the U.S. However, new research finds that the heat waves that powered the Dust Bowl are now 2.5 times more likely to happen again in our modern climate due to another type of manmade […]
What is the SI unit of specific heat capacity?
What is the SI unit of specific heat capacity? Specific heat capacity is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of a substance by 1 kelvin (SI unit of specific heat capacity J kg−1 K−1). What is the specific heat capacity of HCl and NaOH? 4.017 J/g°C. What’s […]
Which current is used in our home?
Which current is used in our home? Alternating current Which type of current is obtained from solar cell? direct current Where is solar used? We consulted several reports to determine which countries use the most solar energy and which parts of the world have the highest solar production capabilities….Installed solar capacity by country (2018 data) […]
What is the maximum number of water skiers that may be towed legally behind a vessel in NH?
Does frequency change power?
Does frequency change power? Frequency of the system will vary as load and generation change. Increasing the mechanical input power to a synchronous generator will not greatly affect the system frequency but will produce more electric power from that unit. Can I use a 60 Hz device in a 50 Hz power frequency? Electrical machines […]
Does cruise control use more gas?
Does cruise control use more gas? Absolutely. If you’re cruising along a mostly level highway, electronics generally are far better at avoiding the little speed-up/slow-down events that are inevitably caused by a weary accelerator ankle or an inattentive mind. Is Cruise Control really necessary? In the long run, like on long highway journeys, cruise control […]
What are the two main classifications of minerals?
What are the two main classifications of minerals? The two kinds of minerals are: macrominerals and trace minerals. Macro means “large” in Greek (and your body needs larger amounts of macrominerals than trace minerals). The macromineral group is made up of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, and sulfur. How many types of minerals are […]
Which material does sound travel fastest through?
Which material does sound travel fastest through? How fast speed travels, or the speed of sound, depends on the kind of matter it is moving through. Of the three phases of matter (gas, liquid, and solid), sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids. Can you hear sounds better […]
