Question
When responding to sound, the human eardrum vibrates about its equilibrium position. Suppose an eardrum is vibrating with an amplitude of 5.0 x10-7 m and a maximum speed of 3.3 x10-3 m/s. (a) What is the frequency (in Hz) of the eardrum's vibrations? (b) What is the maximum acceleration of the eardrum?
