Answer:

2.49 * 10^(-4) m

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Frequency, f = 4.257 MHz = 4.257 * 10^6 Hz

Speed of sound in the body, v = 1.06 km/ = 1060 m/s

The speed of a wave is given as the product of its wavelength and frequency:

v = λf

Where λ = wavelength

This implies that:

λ = v/f

λ = (1060) / (4.257 * 10^6)

λ = 2.49 * 10^(-4) m

The wavelength of the sound in the body is 2.49 * 10^(-4) m.

ryzh [129]

Answer:

9517.2 lbm

Explanation:

Electricity consumption = 14000 kWh/year

Fuel consumption = 900 gal/year

Amount of CO₂ produced per gallon = 26.4 lbm/gal

Amount of CO₂ produced per kWh = 1.54 lbm/kWh

Amount of CO₂ produced in one year

14000\times 1.54+900\times 26.4=45320\ lbm

Reduction would be

0.21\times 45320=9517.2\ lbm

The reduction in the amount of CO₂ produced is 9517.2 lbm
