(a) 7.62 \times 10^{-5} m is the wavelength in air of such a sound wave.

(b) 3.33 \times 10^{-4}\ m is the wavelength of this wave in tissue.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Frequency and wavelength can be related by the equation,

              Velocity = Wavelength x Frequency

              v=\lambda \times f

where,

v - velocity of light for all EM (electromagnetic) waves in vacuum

Given:

f - 4.50 MHz = 4.50 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{Hz}

a) To find the wavelength in air

We know,

Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

Apply given frequency and speed of sound in air, we get

        \lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{343}{4.5 \times 10^{6}}=76.2 \times 10^{-6}=7.62 \times 10^{-5}\ \mathrm{m}

b) If the speed of sound in tissue is 1500 m/s, find the wavelength of this wave in tissue

Speed of sound in tissue, v = 1500 m/s

        \lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{1500}{4.5 \times 10^{6}}=333.33 \times 10^{-6}=3.33 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{m}

A transfer of charge is actually a gross movement of
son4ous [18]
A transfer of charge is actually a gross movement of electrons. Charged objects have a normal or "balanced" state. This state is balanced in a sense of positive charges (protons) and negative charges (electrons). When an object has an excess of deficiency of electrons, it will try to regain its balance by releasing or accepting electrons.

I started to solve this problem but I’m not sure on what to do next.
snow_tiger [21]

ANSWER:

3408.81 kg

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Given:

v = 111 m/s

Ek = 21000000 J

We have that the formula for kinetic energy is as follows:

E_k=\frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v^2

We substitute the values given in the exercise and solve for m (mass)

\begin{gathered} 21000000=\frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot111^2 \\ m=\frac{21000000\cdot2}{111^2} \\ m=3408.81\text{ kg} \end{gathered}

The mass of the helicopter is 3408.81 kilograms.

How many electrons does it take to make up 4.33 C of charge?
Dovator [93]

Answer:

Number of electrons, n=2.7\times 10^{19}

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge, q = 4.33 C

We need to find the number of electrons that make 4.33 C of charge. According to quantization of charge as :

q=ne

n = number of electrons

e = electron's charge

n=\dfrac{q}{e}

n=\dfrac{4.33\ C}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C}

n=2.7\times 10^{19}

So, the number of electrons are 2.7\times 10^{19} Hence, this is the required solution.
