The utricle and macula are a part of the vestibular. Macula responds to linear acceleration and deceleration. So the vestibular detects linear acceleration.

Cochlea is the part of inner ear, which detects sound waves.


What is the portion of the inner ear that detects sound?

The tympanic membrane commonly called the ear drum. This membrane is stretched taut across the ear canal and detects tiny pressure deviations that are processed by the brain as sound.


Is there any difference between angular acceleration and radial acceleration?

Yes. A ngular acceleration is to do with something turning. Radial acceleration is linear acceleration perpendicular to the angular acceleration.


What are similarities of uniform linear acceleration to acceleration due to gravity?

Which parts of the cochlea are responsible for sensing linear acceleration?

The vestibule is specifically responsible for static equilibrium. The Ultricle and the Saccule are specifically responsible for detecting linear acceleration.


Is a constant acceleration graph a linear equation?

Not necessarily. The equation of a projectile, moving under constant acceleration (due to gravity) is a parabola - a non-linear equation.
