How do X-rays and ultrasounds differ ?

Ultrasound is vibrations, just like sound is vibrations. Ultrasound travels though the body just like sound would and when it hits something, it bounces back, where it is picked up by a receiver. which then makes an image out of it.

X-rays are electromagnetic waves, like visible light. Other examples of electromagnetic waves are infrared, and ultraviolet. But people cant see infrared nor ultraviolet, even though they are just like visible light. The difference between visible light and all these other kinds of light are just like the difference between red and blue. They are both light but different colors, ultraviolet and infrared are colors we cannot see, and in fact, we can see only a tiny portion of the colors out there. X-rays are just like all these kinds of light and we cant see it but it is able to go through most of the body, bot not bone. Doctors use x-rays to see bones and things like that in the body because x-rays won't pass through bone, but they will go through muscle and skin. So when a doctor takes an x-ray, its just like making a silhouette, but with colors we cant see. Of course, the x-rays make the photo paper change color and that's how we are able to see the image but the principle is the same.

The motivation for Isaac Newton to discover his laws of motion was to explain the properties of planetary orbits that were obser
ELEN [110]

Answer:

a)  v² = G M R³,  b)  T = 2π /\sqrt{GMR}, c)  m \sqrt{GMR^5 }

Explanation:

a) The kinetic energy is

         K = ½ m v²

       

to find the velocity let's use Newton's second law

          F = m a

acceleration is centripetal

           a = v² / R

           

force is the universal force of attraction

           F = G m M / r²

we substitute

          G m M R² = m v² R

          v² = G M R³

           

the kinetic energy is

          K = ½ m G M R³

b) angular and linear velocity are related

          v = w R

          w = v / R

          w = \frac{\sqrt{GMR^3  }}{R}

          w = \sqrt{GMR}

the angular velocity is related to the period

          w = 2π / T

          T = 2π / w

we substitute

           T = 2π /\sqrt{GMR}

c) the angular moeomto is

            L = m v r

            L = m RA G M R³ R

            L =  m \sqrt{GMR^5 }

You have a mass of 55kg and are riding your frictionless skateboard, which has a mass of 5kg, in a straight line at a speed of 4
Rzqust [24]

Given

m1(mass of the first object): 55 Kg

m2 (mass of the second object): 55 Kg

v1 (velocity of the first object): 4.5 m/s

v2 (velocity of the second object): ?

m3(mass of the object dropped): 2.5 Kg

The law of conservation of momentum states that when two bodies collide with each other, the momentum of the two bodies before the collision is equal to the momentum after the collision. This can be mathemetaically represented as below:

Pa= Pb

Where Pa is the momentum before collision and Pb is the momentum after collision.

Now applying this law for the above problem we get

Momentum before collision= momentum after collision.

Momentum before collision = (m1+m2) x v1 =(55+5)x 4.5 = 270 Kgm/s

Momentum after collision = (m1+m2+m3) x v2 =(55+5+2.5) x v2

Now we know that Momentum before collision= momentum after collision.

Hence we get

270 = 62.5 v2

v2 = 4.32 m/s

The electrical energy that moves through a surge protector is 1.8 kilowatt-hours. How many watts of power will the surge protect
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
The surge protector doesn't use energy. The current that carries Energy may pass through it but a good surge protector won't consume any of that energy. It'll just pass through the surge protector. The current that carrys the energy passes through it to be used by devices further on down the line, such as a toaster or a welder. If those devices are using 1.8 kilowatts of power, then that means that 6,480,000 Joules of energy pass through the surge protector in one hour. They all come out the other end and keep going.
