A medical ultrasound imaging system sends out a steady stream of very short pulses. To simplify analysis, the reflection of one

pulse should be received before the next is transmitted.
If the system is being used to create an image of tissue 15 cm below the skin, what is the minimum time between pulses?

Also how many pulses per second does this correspond to?

Answer:

Minimum time = 1.95x10^-4 s

Number of pulses = 5128.21 pulses/s

Explanation:

We have the speed of sound waves through human tissue with a value of 1540 m/s, to calculate the time it takes for the pulse to travel a distance of 30 cm (since the pulse will first travel a distance of 15 cm and then it will return another 15 cm to be detected by the equipment), therefore, the time between the two pulses will be equal to:

tminimum = 0.30 m/1540 m/s = 1.95x10^-4 s

To calculate the number of pulses, one second must be divided over the minimum time between the two pulses, as follows:

npulses = 1 s/1.95x10^-4 s = 5128.21 pulses/s

Answer:

<em>h = 20 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Gravitational Potential Energy</u>

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is the energy stored in an object due to its vertical position or height in a gravitational field.

It can be calculated with the equation:

U=m.g.h

Where m is the mass of the object, h is the height with respect to a fixed reference, and g is the acceleration of gravity or 9.8 m/s^2.

The weight of an object of mass m is:

W = m.g

Thus, the GPE is:

U=W.h

Solving for h:

\displaystyle h=\frac{U}{W}

The weight of the owl is W=40 N and its GPE is U=800 J.

\displaystyle h=\frac{800}{40}=20

h = 20 m

consider the photoelectric effect experiment. in one experiment yellow light shines on a piece of potassium metal. a current is
kompoz [17]

Explanation:

If the intensity of the yellow light increased, meaning more photons will strike the Potassium metal per unit area. This will cause more ejection of electrons from the metal and hence, the strength of current will also increase as we know that

I = Q/t, as the charge increase , the current will also increase.

A migrating robin flies due north with a speed of 12 m/s relative to the air. The air moves due east with a speed of 6.7 m/s rel
mafiozo [28]

Here it is given that speed of migrating Robin is 12 m/s relative to air

so we can say that

\vec v_{ra} = 12 m/s North

so it will be

Let North direction is along Y axis and East direction is along X axis

\vec v_{ra} = 12\hat j

also it is given that speed of air is 6.7 m/s relative to ground

\vec v_a = 6.7 \hat i

now as we know by the concept of relative motion

\vec v_{ab} = \vec v_a - \vec v_b

\vec v_{ra} = \vec v_r  - \vec v_a

now by rearranging the terms

\vec v_r = \vec v_{ra} + \vec v_a

\vec v_r = 12 \hat j + 6.7 \hat i

now we need to find the speed of Robin which means we need to find the magnitude of its velocity which we found above

So here we will say

v_r = \sqrt{12^2 + 6.7^2}

v_r = 13.7 m/s

so the net speed of Robin with respect to ground will be 13.7 m/s
