What detects linear acceleration in the ear?
The utricle and macula are a part of the vestibular. Macula responds to linear acceleration and deceleration. So the vestibular detects linear acceleration.
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.
What is rotational kinematics?
Rotational kinematics is the same as linear kinematics but with objects in rotation. All of the linear kinematic equations that you learn for velocity and acceleration can be applied to rotational kinematics except that the greek w (omega) is used for velocity and the greek a (alpha) is used for acceleration.
How does height change the potential energy of an object?
Potential energy = mass * gravity * height Ep=mgh You should know the mass of the object and gravity as 9.81. So rearranging the formule Ep/mg=h. Potential energy / (mass * gravity) = height.
Can an object moving at a constant speed have acceleration?
Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity over a given time period. Velocity is a vector quantity: it includes speed and direction. That being said, you can accelerate an object without changing its speed by simply changing its direction. A body moving along the circumference of a circle its speed may remain a constant, but its velocity will not be a constant since its direction of motion continuously changes, since the velocity changes it has an acceleration.
What are similarities of uniform linear acceleration to acceleration due to gravity?
inertia and potential energy
Why do you calculate center of gravity?
If a force acts in a direction which passes through the centre of gravity of the object then it will impart no rotational acceleration; only 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.
Can force become gravity?
No. Gravity is a property of matter that produces force. But there's no way a force is going to 'become' gravity, although a constant linear acceleration would be indistinguishable from gravity.
Your perception of the pull of gravity and linear acceleration is the result of?
The pressure exerted by the Otolithic organ on hair cells of the Maculae.
What is the difference between uniform acceleration and constant acceleration?
Gravitational acceleration is defined as the acceleration of an object caused by the force of gravitation, where all small bodies accelerate in a gravitational field at the same rate relative to the center of mass. Uniform linear acceleration is when a body moves in a straight line and accelerates at a constant rate, and the body is said to have a uniformly accelerated linear motion.
What detects linear acceleration in the ear?
The utricle and macula are a part of the vestibular. Macula responds to linear acceleration and deceleration. So the vestibular detects linear acceleration.
How does Acceleration relate to gravity?
Not at all. However Gravity can impart an acceleration - Gravitational acceleration.
How acceleration effect gravity?
Acceleration does not effect gravity. It is rather the other way round. Gravity can affect the rate of acceleration.
How does speed and acceleration effect gravity?
Speed or acceleration have no effect on gravity.
What is the definition of acceleration due to gravity?
Gravity acceleration g=GM/r2.
What is the acceleration for the pull of gravity?
If you mean acceleration due to gravity it is ~9.8m/s2
