If the force on the tympanic membrane (eardrum) increases by about 1.4 n above the force from the atmospheric pressure, the membrane can be damaged. when you go scuba diving in the ocean, below what depth (in feet) could damage to your eardrum start to occur? considering that your eardrum is 7.4 mm in diameter. consider the density of sea water to be 1.03*10^3 kg/m^3.

An ideal polarizer with its transmission axis rotated 30 degrees to the vertical is placed in a beam of unpolarized light of intensity 10w/m^2. after passing through the polarizer, what is the intensity of the beam? a. 8.7 w/m^2 b. 7.5 w/m^2 c. 5.0 w/m^2 d. 10 w/m^2 e. 2.5 w/m^2

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 740 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of theta= 26 with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is uk = 0.17. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. the block's initial mechanical energy is 9.472 j. b. if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance l in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.

An alarm clock has a current of 4.5 amps and a resistance of 3.2 ohms. what is the voltage in the circuit? a.1.4 volts b.0.71 volts c.14 volts d.46 volts
