Q.14.How does the sound produced by a vibrating object in a medium reach our ears ? Explain giving the names of main parts of ear which help in the process.
Ans.When sound waves impinge on an ear, certain nerves which are very sensitive to pressure variations in sound waves lead to sensation of hearing. Pinna collects sounds from surroundings. It passes through auditory canal at the end of which there is eardrum that starts vibrating. These vibrations are amplified in middle ear and transmitted to inner ear where these are converted into electrical signals.
Q.15. A man has power of 90 W and mass 60 kg runs up a staircase in 40 seconds. If each step of staircase is 20 cm high, calculate the number of steps.
Ans. As                     P = Work done/Time                                                  .
Also,                          Work done = mgh
P = mgh /t
Therefore, 60 x 10 x h/40 = 90
h = —3/5 m
If there are n steps then, n x 20 x 10-2 =3/5
n = 30 steps.
