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

lorasvet [3.4K]
Here,
Height (S) = 2m
Gravity on mars (g) = 3.7m/s^2
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s^2
By the one of the formula of the motion,
S = ut + 1/2at^2
2 = 0 * t + 1/2*3.7*t^2
2 = 1.85t^2
t^2 = 2/1.85 = 1.081
t =1.03s
So, it will take 1.03s long..

A golf ball with an initial angle of 34° lands exactly 240 m down the range on a level course.
g100num [7]

Answer:50.39 m/s,

40.46 m

Explanation:

Given

launch angle=34^{\circ}

Range=240 m

We know that Range =\frac{u^2sin2\theta }{g}

240=\frac{u^2sin(68)}{9.81}

u=50.39 m/s

(b)maximum height of projectile is given by

H=\frac{u^2sin^2\theta }{2g}

H=\frac{50.39^2(sin34)^2}{2\times 9.81}

H=40.46 m

Lilit [14]

Answer:

Accuracy

Explanation:

I think accuracy is more important. When it comes to vital organs in the body, the exactness of getting the measurement is paramount. Accuracy deals with getting very close, almost exact you may say, to a known standard. Precision on the other hand, deals with how easy a measurement can be retaken, reproduced or remade, irrespective of how far or close they are from the accepted norm.

From this, we can agree that precision neglects the most important factor, closeness or say, exactness. Precision isn't bothered by it. And while that can be excused in a few instances, it certainly can not be permitted when it comes to life, or organs of the body
