Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Given:

- Depth of tissue d = 12 cm

- frequency of ultrasound f = 1 MHz

- Input Intensity I_i = 1000 W/m^2

- attenuation coefficient soft tissue a = 0.54

Find:

- Out-put intensity at the required depth

Solution

- The amount of attenuation in (dB) with the progression of depth is given by:

                                     Attenuation = a*f*d

                                     Attenuation = 0.54*12*1

                                     Attenuation = 6.48 dB

- The relation with attenuation and ratio of input and output intensity is given by:

                                     Attenuation = 10*log_10 (I_i / I_o)

                                     6.48 dB = 10*log_10 (I_i / I_o)

                                      I_i / I_o = 10^(0.648)

                                      I_o = 1000 / 10^(0.648)

                                      I_o = 225 W/m^2

- Hence the answer is option C:  I_o = 250 W/m^2

Which sets of data show a wave with the shortest wavelength? A. Speed=100 million m/s and frequency = 50 million Hz. B. Speed=15
SashulF [63]
The answer is <span>A. Speed=100 million m/s and frequency = 50 million Hz.</span>

Let's calculate for each choice the wavelength using the equation:
v = f × λ   ⇒ λ = v ÷ f<span>

where:
v - the speed,
f - the frequency,
</span>λ - the wavelength.

A:
v = 100 000 000 m/s
f = 50 000 000 Hz = 50 000 000 1/s (Since f = 1/T, so units are Hz = 1/s)
⇒ λ = 100 000 000 ÷ 50 000 000 = 2 m

B:
v = 150 000 000 m/s
f = 1 500 Hz = 1 500 1/s
⇒ λ = 150 000 000 m/s ÷ 1 500 = 100 000 m

B:
v = 300 000 000 m/s
f = 100 Hz = 100 1/s
⇒ λ = 300 000 000 m/s ÷ 100 = 3 000 000 m

According to these calculations, the shortest wavelength is needed for choice A.

Two velocity vectors, one is twice of the other, and separated by 90 Degree angle. If their resultant is calculated 90 m/s, what
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Vy = 80.5 [m/s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use the Pythagorean theorem.

V = 90 [m/s]

The components are Vx and Vy:

Therefore:

v=\sqrt{v_{x}^{2} + v_{y}^{2}   }

where:

Vy = 2*Vx ; because one is twice of the other.

90 = \sqrt{v_{x}^{2}  +(2*v_{x})^{2} }\\ 90 =\sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+4*v_{x}^{2}} \\90 =\sqrt{5v_{x}^{2}} \\90=2.23*v_{x} \\v_{x}=40.25[m/s]

and the bigger vector is:

Vy = 40.25*2

Vy = 80.5 [m/s]

A 710 kg car drives at a constant speed of 23 m/s. It is subject to a drag force of 500 N. What power is required from the car's
inn [45]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the car, m = 710 kg

Speed of the car, v = 23 m/s

Drag force, F = 500 N

(a) Let P is the power is required from the car's engine to drive the car on the level ground. Power is given by :

P=F\times v\\\\P=500\ N\times 23\ m/s\\\\P=11500\ W

(b) Let P is the power is required from the car's engine to drive the car on up a hill with a slope of 2 degrees.

At this slope, force will be, F=mg\ \sin\theta

Total force will be :

F=710\times 9.8\times \sin(2)+500\\F=742.83\ N

Power is given by :

P=F\times v\\\\P=742.83\times 23\\\\P=17085.09\ W

or

P = 17 kW
