What is the relationship between force and extension?

The relationship between force and extension is linear, meaning as force increases, extension increases proportionally.

Eardrum (Tympanic Membrane)

A thin membrane that vibrates when sound waves hit it. It separates the outer ear from the middle ear.

Ossicles

Tiny bones in the middle ear (malleus, incus, stapes) that transmit vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear.

Cochlea

A fluid-filled spiral-shaped structure in the inner ear that contains hair cells. These cells convert vibrations into electrical signals that the brain interprets as sound.

Auditory Nerve

A nerve that carries electrical signals from the cochlea to the brain, where they are processed as sound.

Study Notes

Squashing and Stretching

  • Newton is the unit for measuring forces
  • A Newton meter is the unit of force
  • Air resistance is a non-contact force
  • Magnetism is a non-contact force
  • Interaction pair—pairs of forces

Data Table

  • Force (N) | Extension (mm)

  • ------ | -------- 1 | 62 mm = 9 mm 2 | 135 mm = 82 mm 3 | 160 mm = 107 mm 4 | 205 mm = 152 mm 5 | 258 mm = 205 mm

  • The higher the force, the more the extension will expand

  • Starting length—53 cm
