Explanation:

"1 meter per second per second" means acceleration of an object. It is equal to the rate of change of velocity. Its SI unit is m/s^2.

It is simply given by :

a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}

dv is change in velocity

dt is small interval of time

"1 meter per second per second" means that the velocity of an object can increase by 1 meter per second.

Ultrasound with a frequency of 4.257 MHz can be used to produce images of the human body. If the speed of sound in the body is t
shutvik [7]

Answer:

2.49 * 10^(-4) m

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Frequency, f = 4.257 MHz = 4.257 * 10^6 Hz

Speed of sound in the body, v = 1.06 km/ = 1060 m/s

The speed of a wave is given as the product of its wavelength and frequency:

v = λf

Where λ = wavelength

This implies that:

λ = v/f

λ = (1060) / (4.257 * 10^6)

λ = 2.49 * 10^(-4) m

The wavelength of the sound in the body is 2.49 * 10^(-4) m.

A man attempts to pick up his suitcase of weight ws by pulling straight up on the handle. However, he is unable to lift the suit
kvasek [131]

Answer:

b)

Explanation:

Normal force, is always directed upward the surface over which is placed the object, and can adopt any value, as required to meet Newton's 2nd Law.

In this case, as the external force on the suitcase pulls upward, in order  to counteract the influence of gravity, normal force is less than the weight of the suitcase, as follows:

F + Fn = m*g

⇒ Fn = m*g - F

So, the normal force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the suitcase (m*g) minus the magnitude of the force of the pull (F) which is the same expressed by the statement b.

Explain the relationship between speed, velocity and acceleration
Montano1993 [528]
Speed is the rate at which something covers a distance; velocity is the same but it takes into account whether it goes forwards or backwards; and acceleration is the rate of an increase in speed.

It is correct to say that impulse is equal toA) momentum.B) the change in momentum.C) the force multiplied by the distance the f
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

B) the change in momentum

Explanation:

Impulse is defined as the product between the force exerted on an object (F) and the contact time (\Delta t)

I=F \Delta t

Using Newton's second law (F = ma), we can rewrite the force as product of mass (m) and acceleration (a):

I=(ma) \Delta t

However, the acceleration is the ratio between the change in velocity (\Delta v) and the contact time (\Delta t): a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}, so the previous equation becomes

I=m \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\Delta t

And by simplifying \Delta t,

I=m \Delta v

which corresponds to the change in momentum of the object.

Which of the following options is correct and why?
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Option (e) = The charge can be located anywhere since flux does not depend on the position of the charge as long as it is inside the sphere.

Explanation:

So, we are given the following set of infomation in the question given above;

=> "spherical Gaussian surface of radius R centered at the origin."

=> " A charge Q is placed inside the sphere."

So, the question is that if we are to maximize the magnitude of the flux of the electric field through the Gaussian surface, the charge should be located where?

The CORRECT option (e) that is " The charge can be located anywhere since flux does not depend on the position of the charge as long as it is inside the sphere." Is correct because of the reason given below;

REASON: because the charge is "covered" and the position is unknown, the flux will continue to be constant.

Also, the Equation that defines Gauss' law does not specify the position that the charge needs to be located, therefore it can be anywhere.
