Answer:

0.54mm

Explanation:

Given the following :

Wavelength (λ) of Soundwave in air = 0.12mm

Velocity of sound wave (v) = 340m/s

Calculate the frequency (f) :

v = fλ

Wavelength to metres

1000mm = 1 m

0.12mm = (0.12/1000)m

= 0.00012m

v = fλ

340 = F * 0.00012

f = 340 / 0.00012

f = 2833333.3 Hz

Wavelength of Soundwave in the patient:

Velocity of sound wave through body tissue = 1540m/s

Therefore,

Using v = fλ

λ = v / f

λ = 1540 / 2833333.3

λ = 0.0005435m

λ = (0.0005435 * 1000)mm

λ = 0.5435mm = 0.54mm

The free-fall acceleration at the surface of planet 1 is 22 m/s^2. The radius and the mass of planet 2 are twice those of planet
algol13

Answer:

g₂ = 11 m/s²

Explanation:

The value of free-fall acceleration on the surface of a planet is given by the following formula:

g = \frac{Gm}{r^2}

where,

g = free-fall acceleration

G = Universal Gravitational Constant

m = mass of the planet

r = radius of planet

FOR PLANET 1:

g_1 = \frac{Gm_1}{r_1^2}\\\\\frac{Gm_1}{r_1^2} = 22 m/s^2 --------------------- equation (1)

FOR PLANET 2:

g_2 = \frac{Gm_2}{r_2^2}\\\\g_2 = \frac{G(2m_1)}{(2r_1)^2}\\\\g_2 = \frac{1}{2}\frac{Gm_1}{r_1^2}\\\\

using equation (1):

g_2 = \frac{g_1}{2}\\\\g_2 = \frac{22\ m/s^2}{2}

<u>g₂ = 11 m/s²</u>

How much kinetic energy does a proton gain if it is accelerated, with no friction, through a potential difference of 1.00 V? The
ra1l [238]

Answer:

If energy is conserved, then the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy is a constant.

Assuming the proton starts from rest, so it's kineitc energy is zero, but it has a potential energy, PE equal to:

PE = qV

where q =1.6 x 10^-19 C

and V = 1.00 V

Assuming the proton no longer experiences the potential energy and it is all converted to kinetic energy then:

PE* = 0,

KE* = 1/(2mv^2)

Now since

PE + KE = Total energy =PE* + KE*

Therefore,

qV + 0 = 0 + 1/2mv^2

Or

KE = qV = 1.6 10^-19 J

Determine the frequency of a sound wave if it has a speed of 350 m/s and a wavelength of 3.80 m.
Eva8 [605]
Since we have , v=f×lambda (wavelength). Where v equals 350m/s and wavelength equals 3.80. so it will become f = v/lambda=350/3.80=92.1052Hz
