The answer is photocoagulation.

The use of a laser beam to seal leaky blood vessels and to prevent the growth of new ones in diabetic retinopathy is called laser <u>photocoagulation.</u>

<u></u>

What is photocoagulation?

A minimally invasive method used to treat numerous retinal illnesses is photocoagulation of the retina, also known as retinal laser photocoagulation. The retina may expand due to aberrant leaky blood vessels developing across it in a number of disorders. Laser photocoagulation uses thermal energy above 65 °C to burn the retinal tissue by creating thermal burns. This can prevent the retina from being damaged by the bleeding blood vessels. In addition to causing fibrosis, laser photocoagulation can also seal retinal tears. Laser photocoagulation is typically unable to recover already lost vision in cases of retinal disease, but it can slow the progression of the condition, lower the chance of further vision loss, and preserve residual vision. The likelihood of problems following the operation is quite minimal.

A woman on a bridge 95.6 m high sees a raft floating at a constant speed on the river below. She drops a stone from rest in an a
NARA [144]

Answer:

The speed of the raft is 1.05 m/s

Explanation:

The equation for the position of the stone is as follows:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Where:

y = height of the stone at time t

y0 = initial height

v0 = initial speed

t = time

g = acceleration due to gravity

The equation for the position of the raft is as follows:

x = x0 + v · t

Where:

x = position of the raft at time t

x0 = initial position

v = velocity

t = time

To find the speed of the raft, we have to know how much time the raft traveled until the stone reached the river. For that, we can calculate the time of free fall of the stone:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²      (v0=0 because the stone is dropped from rest)

If we place the origin of the frame of reference at the river below the bridge:

0 m = 95.6 m - 9.8 m/s² · t²

-95.6 m / -9,8 m/s² = t²

t = 3.12 s

We know that the raft traveled (4.84 m - 1.56 m) 3.28 m in that time, then the velocity of the raft will be:

x/t = v

3.28 m / 3.12 s = v

v = 1.05 m/s

A particle leaves the origin with an initial velocity v = (3.00 i hat) m/s and a constant acceleration a = (-3.00 i hat - 1.400
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

a)  —0.5 j m/s  

b) 4.5 i + 2.25 j m

Explanation:

<u>Givens:</u>

v_0 =3.00 i m/s

a= (-3 i — 1.400 j ) m/s^2  

The maximum x coordinate is reached when dx/dt = 0 or v_x = 0 ,thus :

<em>v_x = v_0 + at = 0  </em>

(3.00 i m/s) + (-3 i m/s^2)t=0

t = (3 m/s)/-3 i m/s^2

t = -1 s

Therefore the particle reaches the maximum x-coordinate at time t = 1 s.  

Part a The velocity-of course- is all in the y-direction,therefore:

v_y =v_0+ at

We have that v_0 = 0 in the y-direction.

v_y = (-0.5 j m/s^2)(1 s)

      = —0.5 j m/s  

Part b: While the position of the particle at t = 1 s is given by:

r=r_0+v_0*t+1/2*a*t^2

Where r_0 = 0 since the particle started from the origin.

Its position at t = 1 s is then given by :

r =(3.00 i m/s)(1 s)+1/2(-3 i — 1.400 j )(1 s)^2

 =4.5 i + 2.25 j m

A circuit contains three 1,200 ohm resistors connected in parallel. The circuit's supply voltage is 12 VDC. What is the total po
Llana [10]
-- The net effective resistance of three 1200-ohm resistors in
parallel is (1200/3) = 400 ohms.  That's what the battery sees.

-- Power = (voltage)² / (resistance)

               =      (12²)    /      (400)

               =        144    /      400

               =             0.36 watt . 

There's no such thing as "power in the circuit".

0.36 watt is the power dissipated by the resistors.
It's the rate at which the battery must supply energy,
and the rate at which the resistors blow it off in the form
of heat, for as long as the battery lasts.

How many nodes, not including the endpoints, are there in a standing wave that is two wavelengths long?.
Marizza181 [45]

Not including the endpoints, there are 3 nodes.

<h3>What is a node?</h3>

In a wave, a node is a stationary point. For example in a vibrating string of a guitar, the endpoints would be nodes.

But here we need to ignore the endpoints, we only know that the wave has two wavelengths.

For a wave with N wavelengths the number of nodes that are not endpoints is just given by 2*N - 1  (while if we counted the endpoints we would have 2*N + 1).

So in this case we have N = 2, then there are 2*2 - 1 = 3 nodes.

nekit [7.7K]

There is one mistake in the question as unit of height of building is not given.So I assume it as meter.The complete question is here

You are on the roof of the physics building, 46.0 m above the ground. Your physics professor, who is 1.80 m tall, is walking alongside the building at a constant speed of 1.20 m/s. If you wish to drop an egg on your professor’s head, where should the professor be when you release the egg? Assume that the egg is in free fall.  

Answer:

d=3.67 m

Explanation:

Height of building=46.0 m

First we need to find time taken by egg to reach 1.80 m above the surface

So to find time use below equation

S=vt+\frac{1}{2} gt^{2}\\ (46.0-1.80)m=(om/s)t+\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2} )t^{2}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{(46.0-1.80)m}{4.9} }\\ t=3.06s

As velocity 1.20m/s is given and we have find time.So we can easily find the distance

So

distance=velocity*time\\d=v*t\\d=(1.20m/s)*(3.06s)\\d=3.67m
