A 2.15-MHz sound wave travels through a pregnant woman’s abdomen and is reflected from the fetal heart wall of her unborn baby.

The heart wall is moving toward the sound receiver as the heart beats. The reflected sound is then mixed with the transmitted sound, and 90 beats per second are detected. The speed of sound in body tissue is 1510 m/s. Calculate the speed of the fetal heart wall at the instant this measurement is made.

Answer:

v= 0.0316 m/s

Explanation:

We need to use the Doppler Effect defined as the change in frequency of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the wave source.

Notation

Let v= magnitude of the heart wall speed

V= speed  of sound

fh= the frequency the heart receives (and  reflects)

fi= original frequency

ff= reflected frequency

fb= frequency for the beats

Apply the Doppler Effect formula

Since the heart is moving observer then the device is a stationary source, and we have this formula

fh = [(V+ v)/(v)] fi  (1)

We can consider the heart as moving source and the device as a stationary observer, and we have this formula

ff = [(V)/(V-v)] fh  (2)

The frequency for the beats would be the difference from the original and the reflected frequency

fb = ff -fi (3)

Replacing equations (1) and (2) into equation (3) we have:

f_b = \frac{V}{V-v} \frac{V+v}{V}f_i - f_i

f_b = f_i ( \frac{V+v}{V-v} -1)

fb = fi(V+v -V+v)/(V-v)

f_b = \frac{2v}{V-v}

Solving for v we have:

v = V (\frac{f_b}{2f_o - f_b})

v = 1510 m/s (\frac{90 Hz}{2∗2150000Hz - 90 Hz})= 0.0316 m/s

dlinn [17]

Answer:

Peripheral heart action.

Explanation:

The Peripheral heart action purpose is to keep the blood circulation throughout the body at time of workout.

This is specially proceed through the small central muscles which goes around your heart.

After that it is followed by the peripheral muscles which lies in the arms, legs and in the abs part.

Suppose we want to calculate the moment of inertia of a 56.5 kg skater, relative to a vertical axis through their center of mass
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

a. 0.342 kg-m² b. 2.0728 kg-m²

Explanation:

a. Since the skater is assumed to be a cylinder, the moment of inertia of a cylinder is I = 1/2MR² where M = mass of cylinder and r = radius of cylinder. Now, here, M = 56.5 kg and r = 0.11 m

I = 1/2MR²

= 1/2 × 56.5 kg × (0.11 m)²

= 0.342 kgm²

So the moment of inertia of the skater is

b. Let the moment of inertia of each arm be I'. So the moment of inertia of each arm relative to the axis through the center of mass is (since they are long rods)

I' = 1/12ml² + mh² where m = mass of arm = 0.05M, l = length of arm = 0.875 m and h = distance of center of mass of the arm from the center of mass of the cylindrical body = R/2 + l/2 = (R + l)/2 = (0.11 m + 0.875 m)/2 = 0.985 m/2 = 0.4925 m

I' = 1/12 × 0.05 × 56.5 kg × (0.875 m)² + 0.05 × 56.5 kg × (0.4925 m)²

= 0.1802 kg-m² + 0.6852 kg-m²

= 0.8654 kg-m²

The total moment of inertia from both arms is thus I'' = 2I' = 1.7308 kg-m².

So, the moment of inertia of the skater with the arms extended is thus I₀ = I + I'' = 0.342 kg-m² + 1.7308 kg-m² = 2.0728 kg-m²

How could you work out the direction that the motor will turn
IgorLugansk [536]
If you mean work out as in using calculations, I don't know how to help you. But there is a way to find out, using Fleming's left hand rule. I can't define it properly, and I don't want to copy-paste from another site, so I strongly recommend that you look it up. Try google, or more specific, BBC GCSE bitesize.

Hope this helps!
