Expectant mothers many times see their unborn child for the first time during an ultrasonic examination. In ultrasonic imaging,

the blood flow and heartbeat of the child can be measured using an echolocation technique similar to that used by bats. For the purposes of these questions, please use 1500 m/s as the speed of sound in tissue. I need help with part B and C
To clearly see an image, the wavelength used must be at most 1/4 of the size of the object that is to be imaged. What frequency is needed to image a fetus at 8 weeks of gestation that is 1.6 cm long?
A. 380 kHz
B. 3.8 kHz
C. 85 kHz
D. 3.8 MHz

Answer:

<em>380 kHz</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The speed of sound is taken as 1500 m/s

The length of the fetus is 1.6 cm long

The condition is that the wavelength used must be at most 1/4 of the size of the object that is to be imaged.

For this 1.6 cm baby, the wavelength must not exceed

λ = \frac{1}{4} of 1.6 cm = \frac{1}{4} x 1.6 cm = 0.4 cm =

0.4 cm = 0.004 m   this is the wavelength of the required ultrasonic sound.

we know that

v = λf

where v is the speed of a wave

λ is the wavelength of the wave

f is the frequency of the wave

f = v/λ

substituting values, we have

f = 1500/0.004 = 375000 Hz

==> 375000/1000 = 375 kHz ≅ <em>380 kHz</em>

What are two examples of goods and two examples of services
julsineya [31]

The goods and the services make up the basis of every economy. The goods can simply be defined as merchandise or possessions. The services can be defined as the actions through which help is provided, or work is done for someone else. Example of goods are the food and furniture, with the food being crucial for the survival of the people, while the furniture is an essential part of every home and its practicality and decor. Examples of services are teaching and car repairing. The teaching is crucial for the development of the societies, as through it the people get education, while the repairing of cars is very important as lot of people have them, can not afford to buy new ones all the time, and they need for their daily movement over longer distances.

Consider an experiment in which slow neutrons of momentum ¯hk are scattered by a diatomic molecule; suppose that the molecule is
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

When we have an object in periodic motion, the amplitude will be the maximum displacement from equilibrium. Take for example, when there’s a back and forth movement of a pendulum through its equilibrium point (straight down), then swings to a highest distance away from the center. This distance will be represented as the amplitude, A. The full range of the pendulum has a magnitude of 2A.

position = amplitude x sine function(angular frequency x time + phase difference)

x = A sin(ωt + ϕ)

x = displacement (m)

A = amplitude (m)

ω = angular frequency (radians/s)

t = time (s)

ϕ = phase shift (radians)

Kindly check the attached image below to see the step by step explanation to the question above.

A 10 ohms resistor is powered by a 5-V battery. The current flowing<br> through the source is:
mario62 [17]
  • Resistance=R=10ohm
  • Voltage=V=5V
  • Current=I

Applying ohm's law

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{V}{I}=R

\\ \sf\longmapsto I=\dfrac{V}{R}

\\ \sf\longmapsto I=\dfrac{5}{10}

\\ \sf\longmapsto I=0.5A
