Ultrasound with a frequency of 4.077 mhz can be used to produce images of the human body. if the speed of sound in the body is t

The frequency of the ultrasound is (converting in Hz)
f=4.077 MHz=4.077 \cdot 10^6 Hz
while the speed of sound in the body is
v=2.31 km/s = 2310 m/s

We can calculate the wavelength of the ultrasound in the body by using the relationship betwen frequency, wavelength and speed of the wave:
\lambda =  \frac{v}{f}= \frac{2310 m/s}{4.077 \cdot 10^6 Hz}=5.67 \cdot 10^{-4} m

A 234.0 g piece of lead is heated to 86.0oC and then dropped into a calorimeter containing 611.0 g of water that initally is at
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:24.70 ^{\circ}C

Explanation:

Given

mass of lead piece m_l=234 gm\approx 0.234 kg

mass of water in calorimeter m_w=611 gm\approx 0.611 kg

Initial temperature of water T_w=24^{\circ}C

Initial temperature of lead piece T_l=24^{\circ}C

we know heat capacity of lead and water are 125.604 J/kg-k and 4.184 kJ/kg-k respectively

Let us take T ^{\circ}C be the final temperature of the system

Conserving energy

heat lost by lead=heat gained by water

m_lc_l(T_l-T)=m_wc_w(T-T_w)

0.234\times 125.604(86-T)=0.611\times 4.184\times 1000(T-24)

86-T=\frac{0.611\times 4.184\times 1000}{29.391}(T-24)

86-T=86.97T-2087.49

T=\frac{2173.491}{87.97}=24.70^{\circ}C

A balloon is rising vertically upwards at a velocity of 10m/s. When it is at a height of 45m from the ground, a parachute bails
harina [27]

(a) 30.9 m

Let's analyze the motion of the parachutist. Its vertical position above the ground is given by

y=h+ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h = 45 m is the initial height

u = 10 m/s is the initial velocity (upward)

t is the time

g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (downward)

Substituting t=3 s , we find the height of the parachutist when it opens the parachute:

y=45 m+(10 m/s)(3 s)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8 m/s^2)(3 s)^2=30.9 m

(b) 44.1 m

Here we have to find first the height of the balloon 3 seconds after the parachutist has jumped off from it. The vertical position of the balloon is given by

y = h + ut

where

h = 45 m is the initial height

u = 10 m/s is the initial velocity (upward)

t is the time

Substituting t = 3 s, we find

y = 45 m + (10 m/s)(3 s) = 75 m

So the distance between the balloon and the parachutist after 3 s is

d = 75 m - 30.9 m = 44.1 m

(c) 8.2 m/s downward

The velocity of the parachutist at the moment he opens the parachute is:

v = u +gt

where

u = 10 m/s is the initial velocity (upward)

t is the time

g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (downward)

Substituting t = 3 s,

v = 10 m/s + (-9.8 m/s^2)(3 s)= -19.4 m/s

where the negative sign means it is downward

After t=3 s, the parachutist open the parachute and it starts moving with a deceleration of

a =+5 m/s^2

where we put a positive sign since this time the acceleration is upward.

The total distance he still has to cover till the ground is

d = 30.9 m

So we can find the final velocity by using

v^2-u^2 = 2ad

where this time we have u = 19.4 m/s as initial velocity. Taking the downward direction as positive, the deceleration must be considered as negative:

a = -5 m/s^2

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{u^2 +2ad}=\sqrt{(19.4 m/s)^2+2(-5 m/s^2)(30.9 m)}=8.2 m/s

(d) 5.24 s

We can find the duration of the second part of the motion of the parachutist (after he has opened the parachute) by using

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

a = -5 m/s^2 is the deceleration

v = 8.2 m/s is the final velocity

u = 19.4 m/s is the initial velocity

t is the time

Solving for t, we find

t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{8.2 m/s-19.4 m/s}{-5 m/s^2}=2.24 s

And added to the 3 seconds between the instant of the jump and the moment he opens the parachute, the total time is

t = 3 s + 2.24 s = 5.24 s

Mary starts from her house, walks 80 meters south, and stops to chat with her aunt on the sidewalk. After chatting for a few min
Alex

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Total distance = (80m) + (125m) + (45m) = 250 meters

Overall time = 10 minutes

Average speed = (250 meters) / (10 minutes)

<em>Average speed = 25 meters/minute </em>

Since we're only looking for average speed and not velocity, we don't care about any of the directions, and we don't need to calculate Mary's displacement.
