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.

In an LC circuit containing a 40-mH ideal inductor and a 1.2-mF capacitor, the maximum charge on the capacitor is 45mC during os

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

E) 6.5 A

Explanation:

Given that

L = 40 m H

C= 1.2 m F

Maximum charge on capacitor ,Q= 45 m C

The maximum current I given as

I = Q.ω

ω =angular frequency

$\omega=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{CL}}$

By putting the values

$\omega=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{CL}}$

$\omega=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{40\times 10^{-3}\times 1.2 \times 10^{-3}}}$

ω = 144.33 rad⁻¹

Maximum current

I = 45 x 10⁻³ x 144.33 A

I= 6.49 A

I = 6.5 A

E) 6.5 A

4. A 62.0-kg person, standing on the diving board, dives straight down into the water. Just before striking the water, her speed

Alekssandra [29.7K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Moment. The moment in terms of the Force and the time can be expressed as

$\Delta P = F\Delta t$

F = Force

$\Delta t = Time$

At the same time the moment can be expressed in terms of mass and velocity, mathematically it can be given as

$P = m \Delta v$

Where

m = Mass

$\Delta v =$ Change in velocity

Our values are given as

$\Delta t=1.65s$

By equating the two equations we can find the Force,

$F\Delta t = m\Delta v$

$F = \frac{m\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

$F = \frac{62(1.1-5.5)}{1.65}$

Therefore, the net average force will be:

$F = - 165N$

The negative symbol indicates that the direction of the force is upwards.

Answer:

Explanation:

W = 75 watts

V = 110 volts

Formula

W = V * I

Solution

75 = 110 * I Divide by 110

75 / 110 = I

I = 0.6818 Amperes
