Answer:

ventriculoperitoneal      

Explanation:

A VP or ventriculoperitoneal shunt is a medical equipment or a device which is used to relieve pressure from the brain that is caused by the accumulation of fluid in the brain. Ventriculoperitoneal shunting is a medical procedure that is primarily used to treat a condition  known as hydrocephalus. This condition occurs when the more cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) gets collected in the  ventricles of the brain than required.

Hence the answer is ---

ventriculoperitoneal

A linear accelerator produces a pulsed beam of electrons. The pulse current is 0.50 A, and the pulse duration is 0.10 μs. (a) Ho
Crank

Answer:

a)N = 3.125 * 10¹¹

b) I(avg)  = 2.5 × 10⁻⁵A

c)P(avg) = 1250W

d)P = 2.5 × 10⁷W

Explanation:

Given that,

pulse current is 0.50 A

duration of pulse Δt = 0.1 × 10⁻⁶s

a) The number of particles equal to the amount of charge in a single pulse divided by the charge of a single particles

N = Δq/e

charge is given by Δq = IΔt

so,

N = IΔt / e

N = \frac{(0.5)(0.1 * 10^-^6)}{(1.6 * 10^-^1^9)} \\= 3.125 * 10^1^1

N = 3.125 * 10¹¹

b) Q = nqt

where q is the charge of 1puse

n = number of pulse

the average current is given as I(avg) = Q/t

I(avg) = nq

I(avg) = nIΔt

         = (500)(0.5)(0.1 × 10⁻⁶)

         = 2.5 × 10⁻⁵A

C)  If the electrons are accelerated to an energy of 50 MeV, the acceleration voltage must,

eV = K

V = K/e

the power is given by

P = IV

P(avg) = I(avg)K / e

P(avg) = \frac{(2.5 * 10^-^5)(50 * 10^6 . 1.6 * 10^-^1^9)}{1.6 * 10^-^1^9}

= 1250W

d) Final peak=

P= Ik/e

= = P(avg) = \frac{(0.5)(50 * 10^6 . 1.6 * 10^-^1^9)}{1.6 * 10^-^1^9}\\2.5 * 10^7W

P = 2.5 × 10⁷W

Which event in a solar cell uses the photoelectric effect?
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Light shone on metal expulses electrons from its surface. This phenomenon is the photoelectric effect, and the electrons are called photoelectrons. Experiments indicate that by increasing light frequency, the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons increases, and by intensifying the light, the current increases

What is the wavelength associated with 0.113kg ball traveling with velocity of 43 m/s?
lesya [120]

Answer:

2.73×10¯³⁴ m.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) = 0.113 Kg

Velocity (v) = 43 m/s

Wavelength (λ) =?

Next, we shall determine the energy of the ball. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.113 Kg

Velocity (v) = 43 m/s

Energy (E) =?

E = ½m²

E = ½ × 0.113 × 43²

E = 0.0565 × 1849

E = 104.4685 J

Next, we shall determine the frequency. This can be obtained as follow:

Energy (E) = 104.4685 J

Planck's constant (h) = 6.63×10¯³⁴ Js

Frequency (f) =?

E = hf

104.4685 = 6.63×10¯³⁴ × f

Divide both side by 6.63×10¯³⁴

f = 104.4685 / 6.63×10¯³⁴

f = 15.76×10³⁴ Hz

Finally, we shall determine the wavelength of the ball. This can be obtained as follow:

Velocity (v) = 43 m/s

Frequency (f) = 15.76×10³⁴ Hz

Wavelength (λ) =?

v = λf

43 = λ × 15.76×10³⁴

Divide both side by 15.76×10³⁴

λ = 43 / 15.76×10³⁴

λ = 2.73×10¯³⁴ m

Therefore, the wavelength of the ball is 2.73×10¯³⁴ m.

A 120 kg box is on the verge of slipping down an inclined plane with an angle of inclination of 47º. What is the coefficient of
Alex_Xolod [135]

Given :

A 120 kg box is on the verge of slipping down an inclined plane with an angle of inclination of 47º.

To Find :

The coefficient of static friction between the box and the plane.

Solution :

Vertical component of force :

mg\ sin\ \theta =  120\times 10 \times sin\ 47^\circ{}=877.62 \ N

Horizontal component of force(Normal reaction) :

mg\ cos\ \theta =  120\times 10 \times cos\ 47^\circ{}=818.40 \ N

Since, box is on the verge of slipping :

mg\ sin\ \theta= \mu(mg \ cos\ \theta)\\\\\mu = tan \ \theta\\\\\mu = tan\ 47^o\\\\\mu = 1.07

Therefore, the coefficient of static friction between the box and the plane is 1.07.

Hence, this is the required solution.
