(a) -17 cm

Magnification equation:

\frac{h_i}{h_o}=-\frac{q}{p}

where

h_i is the size of the image

h_o is the size of the object

q is the distance of the image from the mirror

p is the distance of the object from the mirror

In this problem, we have:

p = 51 cm (the object is 51 cm in front of the mirror)

\frac{h_i}{h_o}=\frac{1}{3}

So, we can find q, the image distance:

q=-\frac{h_i}{h_o}p=-\frac{1}{3}(51 cm)=-17 cm

and the negative sign means the image is virtual.

(b) -25.5 cm

Mirror equation:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}

where

p = 51 cm

q = -17 cm

Substituting and re-arranging the equation, we find the focal length of the mirror:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{51 cm}-\frac{1}{17 cm}=-\frac{2}{51 cm}\\f=-\frac{51 cm}{2}=-25.5 cm

and the negative sign is due to the fact it is a convex mirror.

Bradley gets an x-ray at a radiology clinic that employs its own technologists and radiologists. Would the coder at the clinic r
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Explanation:

If Bradley examination was done and interpreted in the same facility, the radiologist code is used example- procedure code 72100- Radiologic examination, spine, lumbosacral, 2 or 3 views is reported.

if the X-ray was taken by Dr X but Dr X does not read or interpret the image but forward it to the radiologist for initial report, then a 26- modifier is used. E.g A reports by the technologist would be, procedure code 72050-Radiologic examination, spine, cervical, 2 or 3

views or 72050- TC in certain situations and the consulting radiologist would report 72050-26.

if Bradley’s x-ray were sent to an independent radiologist for interpretation, then the procedure code 76140 is used in reporting.

You collect some more data on that horse at a later time interval, but now you are measuring thehorse’s velocity, not its positi
Monica [59]

Answer:

a)  x(t) = 10t + (2/3)*t^3

b) x*(0.1875) = 10.18 m

Explanation:

Note: The position of the horse is x = 2m. There is a typing error in the question. Otherwise, The solution to cubic equation holds a negative value of time t.

Given:

- v(t) = 10 + 2*t^2 (radar gun)

- x*(t) = 10 + 5t^2 + 3t^3  (our coordinate)

Find:

-The position x of horse as a function of time t in radar system.

-The position of the horse at x = 2m in our coordinate system

Solution:

- The position of horse according to radar gun:

                              v(t) = dx / dt = 10 + 2*t^2

- Separate variables:

                              dx = (10 + 2*t^2).dt

- Integrate over interval x = 0 @ t= 0

                             x(t) = 10t + (2/3)*t^3

- time @ x = 2 :

                              2 = 10t + (2/3)*t^3

                              0 = 10t + (2/3)*t^3 + 2

- solve for t:

                              t = 0.1875 s

- Evaluate x* at t = 0.1875 s

                              x*(0.1875) = 10 + 5(0.1875)^2 + 3(0.1875)^3

                              x*(0.1875) = 10.18 m
