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

A 64-kg base runner begins his slide into second base when he is moving at a speed of 3.4 m/s. The coefficient of friction betwe
levacccp [35]
First you need to find total mechanical energy which is kinetic energy+potential energy, or (1/2mv^2+mgh). Since there is no height, we can pretty much ignore the potential energy and just calculate the kinetic.


1/2mv^2=1/2(64)(3.4)^2= 369.92J. Since it says the speed is 0 at the end of the run, we can assume that all the mechanical energy was lost. Therefore, 369.92 J of energy was lost

How is "one second time" defined in SI system?​
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Since 1997: A second is a time equal to 9,192,631,770 periods of radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom.

This definition refers to a caesium atom at rest at a temperature of 0 K

Is lateral shift or lateral displacement same ?
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

When a ray of light passes through a glass slab of a certain thickness, the ray gets displaced or shifted from the original path. This is called lateral shift/displacement.

An airplane went from 120 m/s to 180 m/s in 4.0 seconds. What was its acceleration?
scoundrel [369]
<span>15 m/s^2 The first thing to calculate is the difference between the final and initial velocities. So 180 m/s - 120 m/s = 60 m/s So the plane changed velocity by a total of 60 m/s. Now divide that change in velocity by the amount of time taken to cause that change in velocity, giving 60 m/s / 4.0 s = 15.0 m/s^2 Since you only have 2 significaant figures, round the result to 2 significant figures giving 15 m/s^2</span>
